New York Road Runners is the No. 1 free iPhone app on the US App Store this week, and it is one of five apps that weren't in the top 25 on October 26. Uber, Lyft, DramaWave and Facebook are the others. Below is the full free chart, plus the top paid apps.
New to the top 25 free chart
- New York Road Runners (No. 1), from New York Road Runners, Inc. The name suggests a running club's app.
- Uber - Rides, Eats, Hotels (No. 6), from Uber Technologies, Inc.
- Lyft (No. 9), from Lyft, Inc.
- DramaWave - Dramas & Reels (No. 12), from SKYWORK AI PTE LTD. The name points to short-form drama video.
- Facebook (No. 25), from Meta Platforms, Inc.
Uber and Lyft both arriving in the same week is a notable pairing. The chart data doesn't tell us why they moved.
