What today's App Store Paid apps reveal
The paid chart is still work tools plus creative utilities. HotSchedules and Shadowrocket have not moved across the 2026-09-15 and 2026-09-16 snapshots. The App Store Top Paid API only swapped the bottom two rows, replacing a camera utility and a diet database with Lumy and MilGPS.
play_music_theory's two-day climb (7 to 4 to 3) is the only interior mover with a trend line. Musician apps still occupy 3 and 5 (play_music_theory, TonalEnergy), with Procreate Pocket holding 6 as the illustration SKU. AnkiMobile at 4 is the flashcard holdover. SkyView's 8-to-7 bump is a one-rank shuffle, not a catalog event.
