Games Top the Lists for Most Popular Apple TV Apps

The fourth-generation Apple TV has been available since Friday, and mobile gaming site Slide to Play has compiled realtime lists of the best selling apps in the tvOS App Store. The lists tally the rankings for both the most popular free and paid apps.

The most popular free apps so far are:

  1. Rayman Adventures (Apple TV Only)
  2. Crossy Road – Endless Arcade Hopper (Universal)
  3. HBO NOW (Universal)
  4. The Nat Geo TV (Universal)
  5. FOX NOW (Universal)
  6. SHOWTIME (Universal)
  7. HISTORY (Universal)
  8. CNNgo (Apple TV Only)
  9. CBS (Universal)
  10. Asphalt 8: Airborne (Universal)

The most popular Paid apps include:

  1. Beat Sports (Apple TV Only)
  2. SimpleX – for Plex (Apple TV Only)
  3. Galaxy on Fire™ – Manticore RISING (Apple TV Only)
  4. Lumino City (Universal)
  5. Alto’s Adventure (Universal)
  6. Does not Commute TV (Apple TV Only)
  7. Battle Supremacy: Evolution (Universal)
  8. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved (Universal)
  9. Shoot The Zombirds (Universal)
  10. Oceanhorn ™ (Universal)

Currently, Apple doesn’t offer much of a way to discover the over 900 apps currently available in the tvOS App Store, other than search (and, Siri doesn’t work in the App Store as yet). There are no Categories to browse, or Top Charts to view apps that Apple hasn’t deigned to feature. Hopefully, Apple will add these features very soon, as the current situation is sure to become frustrating to developers and users both.

The full list on SlideToPlay (via MacRumors) covers the top 200, as well as the breakdowns within different categories.
