Lifestyle ASO landscape in China

What this means for a new app

• The median top-10 app here has 952,716 ratings. A new app will not match that soon; the realistic goal is search traffic for specific keywords, not a top-10 chart place.
• Only 1 of 99 names come near the 30-character limit. Names here are mostly brands, so the subtitle and keyword field do the search work.
• Only 67 of 99 apps shipped an update in the 30 days to Oct 31. Regular releases make a listing look maintained next to the rest.
• The median listing here supports only 2 languages, so a fully localized listing is rare in this chart.
• China ranks 2 of 33 storefronts by top-10 ratings wall in Lifestyle: one of the hardest places to enter this category.

About these figures

The ratings wall is the highest rating count in the top 10, with the median beside it. A top 10 filled with new apps without ratings has a median close to zero even when the first place holds hundreds of thousands of ratings, so the median alone would understate it. Rating counts are for this storefront only.

“Updated” uses each app's current version release date and “first released” its original release date, both counted back from the measurement date. Name length counts characters as Apple displays them.

A figure appears only when at least half of the chart's apps returned data (8 of the top 10 for the wall), with its base beside it. If a day is missing, the previous figure stays with its own date. A chart position is not a search rank.
