Understand the score →About these numbers
The default ranking adds public rating counts collected from Google Play and the App Store storefronts checked. It includes both Android and iOS. This volume is a popularity signal, not a count of downloads or people.
Google Play provides its public counter. For Apple, we add available counters from France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Each profile shows this scope, which does not cover all countries. If one platform is missing, only the documented count is used. Android download thresholds and publisher-reported users have separate sorts and are never added to ratings. One person can rate on several platforms. Ties are sorted by name; profiles without figures follow.
