Headline formula
Stat claim headlines
Based on 1031 top-chart iOS apps analyzed in August 2026.
The formula
A headline built around a specific number: catalog size, rank, user count, or measurable result. It accounts for 4% of the headlines in our corpus.
Typical shape: "Discover 500,000+ trails", "The #1 nutrition tracking app".
When to use it
- Numbers stop the scan: a concrete "500,000+ trails" is more credible than "huge trail library".
- Only claim what you can defend; store review can ask for substantiation of rank claims.
- One stat panel per set is usually enough, often as the opener.
