Questions, answered from the chart.

How many top Reference apps have App Store screenshots with a number?
37 of the top 100 Reference apps (37%) have at least one, and 44 of their 566 screenshots (8%) do it. Counted from the US App Store’s top free chart on October 9, 2026.
Which Reference apps have App Store screenshots with a number?
In the top ten: Live Translator: Translate + (#1) and Bible Chat: Daily Devotional (#5). Further down the chart: Bible Path: Prayers & Widgets (#13), Night Sky (#14), Hallow: Prayer & Meditation (#15), CoinSnap: Coin Identifier (#18) and Star Gazer - Astronomy Sky Map (#20), and 30 more.
Should my Reference app have App Store screenshots with a number?
The chart shows who does it, not whether it would work for your app. 2 of the top ten Reference apps do it (20%), against 35 of the other 90 (39%), so the top ten do it less than the rest. Ten apps is a small group, so read that as a description of this chart and not as a rule.
