The Nano Banana image editing model has been a hit for Google, and presumably the reason that Gemini for iPhone is the top free app in the US App Store.
As of Friday evening, Google Gemini is number 1 on Apple’s Top Free Apps chart for the US. ChatGPT is in the second position, with social app Threads rounding out the podium.
The Google (Search) app is in the sixth position, Google Maps eight, Google Chrome 13th, and Gmail 21st.

In Canada and the UK, Gemini is second.
From the launch on August 26 to September 9, the Gemini app saw 23 million new users. Nano Banana has been used to edit over 500 million images in that period.
This image editing model is a viral hit due to how it maintains character likeness and consistency. You can also upload multiple photos to make new ones, transfer styles, and of course conversational editing.
All free users can generate or edit up to 100 images per day, while that goes to 1,000 if you’re a subscriber ($19.99+ per month).
