Google News has no estimate-backed download or gross-consumer-spend figure that meets the public evidence contract yet.
Observed App Store metadata, chart positions, and history are shown below. Missing, non-finite, undefined-currency, or undefined-metric evidence stays missing rather than becoming zero.

Coverage note
What the ranks mean
A missing rank is not treated as zero downloads or zero revenue. Apple chart feeds are bounded and may return censored or not-ranked observations outside the visible chart depth.
