Quick answerLast updated October 5, 2026

To check your app's rank, pick your app, enter the keyword you want to rank for, and choose the countries to check. This free app rank checker searches each country's store the way a local user would and shows your exact position in the top 30, market by market. Checking multiple countries matters because store rankings are IP-sensitive: the same app can sit at #1 for a keyword in India and #40 in the United States, so a single-country check tells you almost nothing about your real global visibility.

How it works

Check your rank in three steps

Pick your app and keyword

Choose the app you want to track and type the keyword you're trying to rank for, the exact phrase a user would search in the store.

Choose your countries

Select up to five markets. We ask each country's own store for its search results, so you get the local ranking instead of the one your own phone shows.

See where you place

You get your position in the top 30 for every market side by side: your best market and your weak spots. Save and track on Max to see whether you're climbing or slipping.

The basics

Why your app's rank is different in every country

An app's rank for a keyword is the position it holds in a store's search results when someone types that phrase. #1 is the top result, and being outside the top 10 or so means most people never scroll far enough to see you. It's the single clearest measure of whether your App Store Optimization is actually working: you can guess at keywords all day, but rank tells you the truth.

The catch is that rank is not one number. It's a different number in every country. Store search results are localized and IP-sensitive: Google Play and the App Store weigh local popularity, local reviews and the searcher's own country, so the same app and keyword can rank #1 in one market and nowhere in another. Checking from a single location (or with a tool that quietly checks from its own servers) gives you a home-biased number that hides where you're actually winning and losing.

This free rank checker queries each country's own store and shows your position country by country. That's how you find the surprise wins worth doubling down on, the big markets where you're invisible, and, checked regularly, whether your latest listing changes moved the needle.

Key facts

App rankings at a glance

App store search rankings are localized: the same app can rank #1 for a keyword in one country and outside the top 30 in another.
Being outside roughly the top 10 results means most searchers never scroll far enough to see your app.
Rankings are IP-sensitive, so a trustworthy rank check must query the target country's store, not your local one.
Keyword rank is the clearest single measure of whether your ASO is working.
Rank moves with every app update, competitor launch and shift in local popularity. It needs re-checking, not a one-time look.
This checker covers both the Apple App Store and Google Play, across five countries per check.

What we measure

What decides where your app ranks

Rank isn't random. These are the levers that move your position: the ones you control, and the ones you have to earn.

01Keyword in your metadataIf the keyword isn't in your title, subtitle or short description, you're fighting uphill. The store can only rank you for terms it can see you're relevant to.

02Local popularity & installsBoth stores weigh how many people in that country install and keep your app. High local traction in one market is exactly why your rank there can dwarf your rank elsewhere.

03Ratings & reviews in-marketLocalized ratings feed local rankings. A market where you have strong, recent reviews will tend to rank you higher for the same keyword than one where you're unproven.

04Keyword competitionA broad term like 'games' is a knife fight; a specific one like 'habit tracker for couples' is winnable. Where you rank depends as much on who else wants the term.

05Freshness & engagementRegular updates and healthy retention signal an active, quality app. Stores favor apps people keep using, so engagement quietly props up your rank over time.

Avoid these

Common rank-checking mistakes

These are the traps that make people think their ASO is fine when it isn't, or panic when it's actually fine.

01Checking only one countryYour home market is the least representative one you have. Ranking #3 at home tells you nothing about the dozens of markets where you might be invisible, or quietly dominant.

02Checking rank from your own IPSearching the store from your desk gives you a personalized, location-biased result. A real rank check has to ask the target country's store directly.

03Checking once and calling it doneRank moves: with every update, competitor launch and seasonal shift. A single snapshot can't tell you whether your last change helped; only a repeated check can.

04Tracking a keyword you don't targetIf a keyword isn't in your metadata, a low rank isn't a problem to fix. It's expected. Track the terms you're actually optimizing for.

Example

Worked example: reading a rank result

Here is a result for an illustrative Google Play app, Lumio: Habit Tracker, checked for the keyword "habit tracker" in five countries. The positions are made up to show how to read the output; run the checker above for your own.

Example result for an illustrative app, not a real listing
Market	Example rank	What it tells you
India	#4 (best market)	On the first screen. Strong local installs and reviews are carrying the keyword here.
United Kingdom	#9	Top 10, but only just. A sharper title or short description could move it up.
United States	#14	Below the first screen, where most searchers stop. The biggest upside of the five.
Brazil	#22	Visible only to people who scroll. An English-only listing is a likely cause.
Germany	Not in the top 30	Effectively invisible for this term. Check whether a German listing exists at all.

Reading it: one keyword, five very different answers. The US is the biggest market sitting just off the first screen, so that is where a metadata change is worth the most; Germany and Brazil point to localization before anything else.

Guessing your rank vs checking it

Most people 'check' their rank by searching the store on their own phone. Here's why that misleads you, and what a real check does instead.

Indie & solo developersSee past your home market: the surprise country where you already rank #1 is often your cheapest growth lever.

Growth & UA teamsPair organic rank with paid spend: double down where you rank well, and fix metadata where you don't before buying installs.

Agencies & consultantsPull a client's multi-country rank in seconds for audits, reports and pitches, no device farm, no VPN juggling.

Know the terms

App ranking terms, defined

The vocabulary of app store search, in plain English.

Keyword rank: The position your app holds in a store's search results for a given keyword: #1 is the top result. It's the clearest measure of whether your ASO is working.
ASO (App Store Optimization): Improving your store listing so it ranks higher in search and converts more viewers into installs: the app-store equivalent of SEO.
Localized ranking: The fact that store search results differ by country, weighing local installs, reviews and the searcher's region, so one app has many ranks.
Top 30 / search depth: How far down the results a rank check looks. Beyond the first screen (~top 10) most searchers never see you, so depth is measured but the top matters most.
Keyword difficulty: How hard a term is to rank for, driven by how many strong apps target it. Broad terms are brutal; specific long-tail terms are winnable.
IP-sensitivity: Because stores localize by the requester's location, a trustworthy rank check must query the target country's store, not your own device.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

01How do I check my app's rank in the store?

Pick your app, enter the keyword you want to rank for, and choose the countries to check. This free app rank checker searches each country's own store and shows your exact position in the top 30, side by side, up to 5 countries live with no sign-up.

02Do I need an account to check my app's rank?

No, you can check up to 5 countries live with no sign-up and see the results right on the page. Max saves your checks and re-checks your top 3 keywords every day in your app's home market (other markets on demand), and it starts with a 7-day free trial.

03How many countries can I check at once?

Five countries per check, shown side by side. Because store rankings are localized, checking several markets at once is the whole point. It's how you find the countries where you're already winning and the big ones where you're invisible.

04Why does my app rank differently in each country?

App store search is localized and IP-sensitive. Both the App Store and Google Play weigh local installs, local reviews and the searcher's own country, so the same app and keyword can rank #1 in one market and nowhere in another. That's exactly why a per-country check is so much more useful than a single number.

05What's a good keyword ranking for an app?

Roughly, being in the top 3 for a keyword means most searchers see you immediately; top 10 is still on the first screen for many; beyond about the top 10 your traffic from that keyword drops sharply. But 'good' depends on the term: ranking #5 for a broad, high-volume keyword can beat #1 for one nobody searches.

06Does it work for both the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. The rank checker covers both the Apple App Store and Google Play. It checks the store your app actually lives on, so you get a true per-store, per-country ranking.

07Why is my app not ranking for a keyword?

The most common reasons are that the keyword isn't in your title, subtitle or short description, that the term is too competitive for your current install and review volume, or that you rank fine in some countries but not the one you checked. A per-country check plus your metadata is usually enough to tell which.

08How often should I check my app's rank?

Check after every meaningful listing change, a new title, keywords, or screenshots, and then on a regular cadence, because rank drifts as competitors launch and local popularity shifts. Regular checks are the only way to know whether your ASO changes actually moved you.
