About this chart

Positions come from the public Google Play Top Free list for South Africa. ASO Lab saves each chart once a day, so the change column shows movement since the previous saved day. A chart position is not a download count: apps with very different install numbers can sit next to each other. Open any app for its ratings, installs and ranks in other countries.
