App Category
App Category is the primary (and on iOS, optional secondary) classification chosen for an app, such as Health & Fitness or Finance. Category decides which top charts you compete in and affects relevance for some searches. Pick the category where users would expect to find you and where competition is realistic. Changing it later is possible but resets your chart context.
