About the weekly niche report

Each issue lists App Store niches where the top apps earn real money and no giant owns the search results. The niche with the week's fastest-rising app comes first. No niche repeats within 12 weeks, so every issue is a new list. The table shows each niche's median estimated monthly revenue, how many of its apps clear an estimated $1,000 a month, and the median review growth of its top apps over the 30 days before the issue went out.

Revenue figures are estimates from GetAppNiche's own model, not numbers reported by Apple or the developers. Use the ranking to decide where to look, then open the niche in GetAppNiche to see the apps behind it. The newest issue is always on the weekly niches page.
