App Rank Tracking Tool

What this app rank tracker does

This tool reads Apple's own public App Store chart feed directly - the same ranked lists Apple itself publishes for Top Free, Top Paid, Top Grossing and New apps, per country and per category. Pick a storefront, a category, and a chart, and it pulls back the current ranked list with each app's developer, category, release date and price.

It's a quick way to check where an app currently sits in its category chart, scout what's trending in a market or niche, or see which competitors are climbing a specific country's chart right now.

How to check App Store rankings

Choose a country (App Store rankings are entirely per-storefront - the same app can rank very differently in different countries).
Optionally narrow it to one category, or leave it on "All Categories" for the overall chart.
Pick a chart - Top Free, Top Paid, Top Grossing, or New Apps - and how many results to pull.
Select Check rankings to see the current ranked list, with each app's developer, category, release date and price.

Why rankings are checked per country and per category

App Store charts are generated separately for every country's storefront and every category, not as one global list - an app sitting at #3 in Finance in one country can be nowhere near the overall Top 200 somewhere else. Checking the specific country and category an app actually targets gives a far more useful picture than a generic global ranking ever could.

What this data source is

This reads Apple's own iTunes RSS chart feed - a free, public, unlimited feed Apple has maintained for years with no API key or account required. The data shown is exactly what Apple's feed returns at the moment you check, not an estimate or a cached snapshot.

Common uses

App developers checking where their own app currently ranks in its category and country.
ASO specialists scouting which apps are trending in a specific market right now.
Competitive research tracking how a competitor's app moves on the charts over time.
Market research seeing which app categories are most active in a given country.

Veelgestelde vragen

Does this track Google Play rankings too?

No - this reads Apple's public App Store chart feed specifically. Google doesn't publish an equivalent public, keyless feed for Play Store rankings.

Why does the same app rank differently in different countries?

Apple generates a separate chart for every country's storefront, based on that country's own download and revenue activity - rankings aren't global.

Is this official Apple data?

Yes - it reads Apple's own public chart feed directly and shows exactly what that feed returns, not an estimate.

Why did a category return no results?

A very small or inactive category in a given country can have fewer ranked apps than the result limit you chose - try a larger "All Categories" chart or a different country.

Can I see how a ranking changed over time?

This tool shows the current chart at the moment you check it; tracking movement over time means checking back periodically and comparing results yourself.
