1. Choose the app
Start typing an app name in the App Rank Checker and pick it from the suggestions, which show the icon, developer, category and store. You can also paste an App Store link, a numeric App Store ID, a Google Play link or an Android package name. The store is detected from what you paste.
The selected app is shown as a card before you run anything, so you can confirm it is the right one. Similar names are common; the developer name is the quickest check.
2. Enter a keyword
Enter the phrase exactly as a user would type it into store search. Keywords can be in any language and script. We only tidy whitespace; we never translate, correct or expand what you typed, because a different phrase is a different search.
3. Select countries
Choose up to five countries. The default set is the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India and Brazil, and your last selection is remembered on your device. Each country is checked against its own storefront.
4. Read the results
- Country cards show the observed position, a status such as Top 3 or Top 10, the data source, the number of results checked and the retrieval time.
- Best market marks the single country with the strongest position.
- The summary gives the best and weakest positions, how many countries are in the top 10 and top 30, and an average that only counts countries where the app was found.
- Top results can be expanded per country to see who is ranking, with your app highlighted.
If one country fails, the others are still shown. Failed countries say why (for example, rate limited) and never display a made-up number.
5. Keep a record
Completed checks are saved in your browser and appear in Rank History, where you can chart a keyword over 7, 30 or 90 days. Press “Watch” on a result to add it to your watchlist for quick re-checks. You can export results as CSV or JSON, and back up or move your local data with a single file.
6. Act on what you see
- Not found anywhere? Check that the keyword’s words appear in fields the store indexes. The ASO Checker has a target-keyword check for this.
- Strong in one market, weak in another? Use the Keyword Explorer in the weak market to see who holds the top positions and what their titles contain.
- Close behind a competitor? The Competitor Analysis puts both apps side by side for the same keyword and countries.
- Many keywords to follow? The Batch Checker runs up to ten keywords at once.
Fair use
The service is free and has no accounts, so it protects itself with per-visitor allowances and caching. A live check of one keyword in one country uses one unit; cached results are free. If you reach the hourly allowance you will see a clear message with the time to wait. See Data Sources & Methodology for how the data is collected.
