Apple now ranks the top Apple TV apps

One of the best ways to discover new Mac and iOS apps is to simply peruse the charts in their respective App Stores. When the fourth-gen Apple TV debuted last week, this particular feature was missing -- which is perhaps no surprise, given hardly any transactions had been made yet in the tvOS App Store. That's now been rectified, however, so you can swipe around with Apple's upgraded remote and get a better sense of what's hot. As 9to5Mac notes, video games seem to be making an early impression. Given the medium is entirely new to Apple TV, it's logical that titles like Alto's Adventure, Lumino City and Manticore Rising are creeping into the "Top Paid" rankings. That could change, of course, as the new Apple TV install base grows -- once everyone's usage settles down, we suspect the usual suspects like Netflix and HBO Now will dominate the "Top Free" spots.
