This data pull indicated that the Top Paid and Top Grossing apps tended to be dominated by games, though a handful of video-related apps, like a Plex client, or utilities, like Carrot Weather or AirVideo, were also gaining ground.

That has led a few developers to hack their own version of the App Store’s Top Charts. Not only does Apple not yet provide rankings, trusted third-party App Store analytics firms like App Annie don’t have insight into the Apple TV App Store, either.Īpp Annie told us that it’s currently unable to pull data related to which iOS apps have been optimized for Apple TV, for instance. It’s difficult to access this data today, because there’s no official means to do so.
