About the Hall of Records

An independent record book for the App Store.

App Store Hall of Records is a browsable record book for the Apple App Store. It collects publicly available information about apps and turns it into leaderboards for a single question at a time: which app is the biggest, the oldest, the most rated, the priciest, the most translated, the most everything. Each board ranks up to one hundred apps and names a clear champion at the top. The data refreshes on a schedule, so crowns change hands over time.

This is a hobby project built for fun and curiosity. It is not a directory, a download site, or an app store. We do not host, sell, or distribute any app. Every link to an app points back to its official App Store listing.

How the records are made

We read public App Store data from Apple's public RSS chart feeds and the public iTunes Lookup service. From that data we compute each record with a fixed, published rule. Every record page shows exactly what it measures, why it is interesting, and what an app must do to qualify, along with the date it was last computed and how many apps were considered.

Records are recomputed automatically on a regular schedule. Because the underlying charts and metadata change, a board you see today may have a different leader next week. We keep the previous leaderboard live while a new one is being computed, so the site never shows a blank page.

Data quality and limits

We only use public metadata, and that metadata is sometimes incomplete or out of date. A record only counts apps that meet its qualifying rule, so weak or thin boards are hidden until they fill. Numbers are framed as records, not as official figures, and they should be read as a snapshot of public data rather than a definitive ranking.

Ownership and trademarks

All app names, icons, screenshots, descriptions, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. We do not claim ownership of any app or any of its content. App icons and screenshots are shown as factual reference and are linked directly from Apple's content delivery network. App Store Hall of Records is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc. App Store is a trademark of Apple Inc.
