About this chart

Top Free News iPhone apps on the App Store in South Africa on 19 Oct 2026: X, Substack, Reddit lead the chart. AppWinners records this download ranking once a day for South Africa and 175 other countries, so every position, climb and drop stays on record. Movement, peak rank and days on chart appear once there are two days of data.

How often is the South Africa Top Free chart updated?

iOS App Store refreshes its charts several times a day. AppWinners captures one snapshot per day at about 06:00 UTC and keeps every snapshot, so you can compare any day with any other.

What does Top Free mean?

Top Free ranks apps with no up-front price by the number of new downloads over a short recent window, weighted towards the last day or two.

How many apps does the chart show?

99 apps today. The iOS App Store publishes up to 100 positions for this chart; we show every position the store published.

Why is my app not on this chart?

Only apps inside the store's published top 100 for South Africa appear here. Use the search box to find your app and see every country and category chart it is currently on.

Can I see this chart for another country or category?
