Recommendations for users: ranking factors

Popular apps in RuStore reflect not only their overall demand but also how actively users install them and leave reviews.

The ranking in the "Popular" section is determined by:

• Number of downloads. RuStore takes considers both the total number of downloads since publication and recent activity. If you’ve recently published an app that is quickly gaining an audience, it can also appear in the "Popular" section.
• Number of reviews and rating. The more reviews an app has and the higher its rating, the better its ranking. It’s important not only how many users install your app but also how many are satisfied with it.
• Installs from the app page. If many users install your app after viewing its description, it indicates strong interest, increasing the chances of appearing in "Popular."
• Search activity. If users frequently search for your app and install it, this will also affect its ranking.
