What I do here

Everything on this site runs on a dataset I built and maintain myself. That hands-on work, rather than a byline alone, is the expertise behind the records and studies you read here:

• Designed and operate the pipeline that tracks and refreshes metadata for tens of thousands of App Store apps.
• Wrote the fixed, published rules behind every record board, so each ranking is reproducible rather than a matter of opinion.
• Author the original data studies, computed directly from that dataset rather than repackaged from elsewhere.
• Set and enforce the editorial standards every guide is held to.

Dor holds a BA in Business, focused on Web Science, and an MA in Government, focused on Political Marketing, and has spent years building content-driven websites and digital products — the background behind how this site is researched, structured, and kept genuinely useful. Record boards are computed from public App Store metadata using the rules published on each board; guides are researched and written to those same editorial standards, with every figure traced back to the underlying data and fact-checked and reviewed before publication. The site is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple.
