What today's App Store Paid trends reveal
The October 8 paid ten is still a specialist-tools board. Proxy, scheduling, flashcards, drawing, and tuner apps occupy ranks 1 through 5. The two new rows are a trades calculator and a clinical diet tracker, not games. SkyView's 2-rank climb lands inside World Space Week (October 4 to 10). RadarScope leaving the ten is the weather-app drop after the September 28 file still carried it.
