How to use the app rank checker
How do I check my app ranking on the App Store or Google Play?
Paste your App Store or Google Play URL, enter up to five keywords, choose a country, and select Check rankings. Sonar searches the store's public results for each keyword in that country and shows your app's position alongside the app ranking first. The same steps work for an iPhone app and a Play Store app. Free checks require no signup.
What does "Not in top 100" or 100+ mean?
It means the checker did not find your app in the results it read for that keyword and country. On the App Store that covers up to the first 100 results; on Google Play it covers the first page of search results, about 30 apps, so an Android app marked 100+ may still rank somewhere below 30. The checker does not estimate a position beyond that range, and if the app ranking first is also missing, try again later because search results may be temporarily unavailable. Within the results, positions 1–10 are where most search taps happen, 11–30 still reach people who scroll, and below 30 a keyword sends little search traffic. Keywords where you sit between 4 and 30 are usually where metadata work pays off fastest.
How accurate is a free app rank check?
It is a good snapshot, not a final number. The checker reads each store's public search results for the country you pick, and those results are not personalized. On the App Store, the order from Apple's public search can differ from what the App Store app shows below the top few positions, so treat a rank of 20 or 60 as approximate. On Google Play, a free check covers the first page of results, about 30 apps. Daily tracking in Sonar uses the App Store's own search order and reads Google Play results up to 200 deep.
What is the difference between keyword rank and category rank?
Keyword rank is your app's position in the search results for one term, such as "budget planner", in one country. Category or chart rank is your position in a top chart such as Finance, which the store builds mainly from recent downloads rather than from any search. An app can sit far down its category chart and still rank in the top 3 for a niche keyword, which is why this checker reports keyword rank.
Can I check my rank without a tool?
Yes, for a few keywords. Search the term in the App Store or Google Play and scroll until you find your app, but expect results personalized by device, location and history. Google Play Console's search term report shows which searches brought store listing visitors and how they converted, and App Store Connect shows how many impressions and downloads came from App Store search, but neither gives you a position.
Can I check app rankings in different countries?
Yes. Choose one of the countries listed in the form before running a check. Rankings can differ by country, so check the markets where your app is available. To compare countries, run the same app and keywords again with a different country selected.
A free app store keyword rank checker
This free app keyword ranking checker searches the App Store and Google Play live and reports where your app appears for each keyword in the store's public, non-personalized search results. Use it to spot which terms you already rank for, which are slipping, and where a metadata change could move you onto the first page.
Because the App Store and Google Play rank apps differently in every storefront, pick the country you care about before you check — an app ranking checker that ignores locale gives you the wrong answer. Run the same keywords across a few markets to see where you're strong and where there's room to climb.
This is an app rank tracker, not a website SEO rank tracker: it measures App Store and Google Play search positions (ASO), not where a page ranks on Google. If you publish a mobile app, that store ranking is the number that drives your downloads.
Treat a free check as a snapshot. On the App Store, positions below the top few can differ from what the App Store app itself shows, and on Google Play a free check covers the first page of results, about 30 apps. Sonar's daily tracking uses the App Store's own search order and follows Google Play results to 200 deep. To see which signals move those positions on Android, read how Play Store ranking works.
