How many downloads does an iOS app need to get into the top charts in education?

GoodNovel – Booktok, Stories – ~38,000
Just checked this recently using Asolytics — some categories have surprisingly low entry thresholds in certain markets.
Literie – ~19,000
The One Habit an Oncologist Recommends Everyone Add by Age 40 - Eat This Not That
NovelaGo: Stories and Novels – ~3,900
Audible – ~550,000
It really depends on the country and category - numbers vary a lot. For example, in the Books category, here’s how the top chart apps rank by monthly installs in each country:
US Food and Drug Administration Launches AI Platform to 'Modernize' Agency - Decrypt
📍 United States (monthly installs in the US)
📍 Germany (monthly installs in Germany)
Audible: Audio Entertainment – ~56,000
CT scan radiation and cancer risk - reassuring and alarming at the same time - Daily Kos
Galatea: Books & Audiobooks – ~17,000
