Entertainment app screenshots that make a comparison
Better than, unlike, instead of. A comparison borrows what the reader already knows: the old way, the usual price, the other kind of app.
From the top 100 free Entertainment apps on the US App Store, read on October 9, 2026. Screenshots are the developers’ own, shown from Apple’s servers with a link to each app.
The numbers
4 of the 544 Entertainment screenshots read (1%) do this, across 4 of the top 100 apps (4%). 0 of the top ten do it (0%), against 4 of the other 90 (4%): the top ten do it about as often as the rest. Of the 23 categories read so far, Entertainment is 19th for this. It is most common in Finance (17% of apps) and least common in Travel (2%).
