Track Your App Rankings Across Countries
Check where your app appears in App Store and Google Play search results. Compare markets, explore competitors, and discover ASO opportunities. No signup required.
How it works
- Step 1
Pick your app
Search by name or paste an App Store or Google Play link. We detect the store automatically and show the app so you can confirm it is the right one.
- Step 2
Enter a keyword
Type the phrase a real user would search for, in any language. We send it to the store exactly as written.
- Step 3
Choose up to five countries
Each country is queried separately against its own storefront, so you see market-by-market differences side by side.
- Step 4
Read the observed positions
Every result states its position, how many results were checked, the data source and when it was retrieved.

Two stores, clearly labelled sources
The two stores expose search results in very different ways, so we treat them differently and tell you exactly what each number is.
- App Store (iPhone)
- Results are requested from the selected country’s storefront and usually cover around 200–250 apps, so we can report positions well beyond the first screen. If that source is unavailable we fall back to Apple’s documented iTunes Search API and label the result accordingly.
- Google Play (Android)
- Google has no public keyword-search API. We read the public Google Play web search page for the selected country, which returns only its first page (typically 30 apps). A position beyond that depth cannot be observed and is reported as “not found in the first N results”.
Why compare countries?
Store search is local. Each storefront has its own competitors, its own language and its own history of installs and ratings. An app that sits at #3 for a keyword in the United States can be invisible for the same keyword in Germany or Brazil.
- Find your strongest market. The best observed country is highlighted, so you can see where your metadata already works.
- Spot localization gaps. A large difference between two markets that share a language usually points to competition; a gap between languages usually points to untranslated metadata.
- Honest averages. The average position only uses countries where the app was actually found. Missing positions are never counted as zero.
Using rank checks for App Store Optimization
App Store Optimization (ASO) is the work of making an app easier to find and more convincing to install. Keyword rank is the feedback loop: change your metadata, wait for the store to re-index, then measure again.
Measure before you change
Record positions for your target keywords before a metadata update. Without a baseline you cannot tell whether a change helped.
Put keywords where stores index them
On the App Store that is the name, subtitle and keyword field. On Google Play it is the title, short description and full description.
Re-check on a schedule
Rankings move with competitor updates and seasonal demand. A weekly check of a small keyword set tells you more than one large audit.

Frequently asked questions
Is App Rank Checker really free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it is free and there is no account, signup or email step anywhere on the site. To keep the service fast for everyone, each visitor has a fair-use allowance of live checks per hour; cached results never count against it.
Where does the ranking data come from?
App Store positions come from the search results Apple returns for the selected country storefront, with Apple's documented iTunes Search API as a fallback. Google Play positions come from the public Google Play web search page for the selected country. Every result shows which source it came from and when it was retrieved.
Is the position shown my exact rank on a real phone?
It is an observed position in the results returned to our server for that country, not a guarantee of what every user sees. Stores can vary results by device, language, account history and experiments. Treat the number as a consistent, comparable measurement rather than an absolute truth.
What does "Not found in the first N results" mean?
It means the app was not among the N results we were able to check for that keyword and country. It does not prove the app has no visibility: it may appear deeper than the checked depth. The App Store source usually returns around 200-250 results; the Google Play web page returns only its first page, typically 30 apps.
How many countries can I check at once?
Up to five per check, side by side. More than 150 country storefronts are available, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, Brazil and Türkiye.
Why does my app rank differently in each country?
Each country has its own storefront, competitors, language and user behaviour. Localized metadata, local ratings and local download velocity all influence search results, so a keyword that works in one market can perform very differently in another.
Do you store my searches or watchlist?
Your history and watchlist are stored only in your own browser (IndexedDB) and are never uploaded. The server keeps short-lived caches of store search results and privacy-conscious request logs that contain a salted hash instead of your IP address.
Do you provide search volume, downloads or revenue estimates?
No. Neither store publishes those figures, and we do not invent them. The only estimates on this site are the keyword difficulty and ASO scores, which are clearly labelled and fully documented on the methodology page.
