What changed on App Store Paid since yesterday

One name is new: Wildwood at 10. 2AM CAM left from yesterday's 10.

Procreate Pocket 5 to 4, TonalEnergy 6 to 5, Paprika 7 to 6, PeakFinder 9 to 8. SkyView 4 to 7, play_music_theory 8 to 9. Ranks 1-3 are unchanged. No 5-rank mover.

What today's App Store Paid trends reveal

The September 8 paid board is still Shadowrocket, hospitality scheduling, and flashcards at 1-3. The only dated local story is Wildwood at 10: a Portland trail with an October 23 film and an October 30 sculpture end date.

Creative tools (Procreate, TonalEnergy, Paprika, SkyView, PeakFinder) shuffled one rank each. 2AM CAM's exit is the camera-app turnover.

play_music_theory at 9 is still the education leftover from yesterday's new entry at 8. AnkiMobile at 3 and that trainer are the two paid learning apps; Wildwood at 10 is the only geography-specific title, tied to Portland's 30 sculptures and a $1.49 collect-code companion.
