Which App Stores are missing the most widely-used apps
All 175 storefronts Apple operates, ordered by the share of widely-used apps — 10,000+ user ratings worldwide, still on sale somewhere — that are unavailable in each. Both sides of that fraction are the apps we have tested in that storefront, so testing one harder does not inflate its figure. The typical storefront is missing 18.8%. Pick one to see which apps, and when they went.
