What today's App Store Paid apps reveal
The October 9 paid ten is a frozen specialist board with a two-app swap at the bottom. Shadowrocket through SkyView occupy the same eight slots as the October 8 08:01 snapshot. The diet and recipe pair at 9 and 10 is gone. In their place sit a camera listing and a GPS listing, both without a second-source news hook. Until ranks 1 through 8 move, the paid file is a bottom-two story.
