The Highest Rated App on the App Store

Sixteen Apps, Zero Gap

Nothing separates #1 from #2 here. Waymo and Dropout both land on a perfect 5.0, and fourteen more apps trail right behind them down to #16, among them IKEA 宜家家居, 7 Brew Coffee, Balatro, and Partiful: Party Invite Maker. It reads less like a ranking than a plateau, with whatever tiebreaker exists hiding somewhere in metadata none of us can see. The split finally shows up at rank 17, where Differences - Find & Spot It settles at 4.9, a drop of exactly one tenth of a point after sixteen straight apps held the line at perfect.

After that, the slide basically stalls. By #25, Pyramid Mahjong:Match Tile is still sitting at 4.9, so nine positions in a row lose nothing further. This top 25 isn't really a slope. It's a cliff at #17, followed by a long, flat shelf.

Waymo's Ride to the Top

Waymo leads with a perfect score backed by 740 reviews, and the sentiment behind those reviews stays strongly positive at 0.85, holding steady instead of drifting. People keep bringing up safety, smoothness, the overall experience, convenience, and cost, which is a fairly specific cluster for an app whose entire job is letting a car drive you somewhere. A ride-hailing app pulling a perfect average at this volume actually means something. The usual complaints that sink a transportation app, long waits, bad routing, a rude driver, just aren't showing up in numbers big enough to matter.

Waymo didn't start here, though. The crown passed from Dropout to Waymo in June 2026, and across the whole window we've tracked, it's changed hands twice. Since Waymo took over, it hasn't given up #1 on a single day we've checked. Short reign by the calendar. Clean one by the numbers.

Repeat Offenders, One Outlier

Guru Smart Holding Limited shows up 6 times in the top 100, more than any other developer, and two of those entries sit close together near the tail of our top 25: Differences - Find & Spot It and Math Puzzle Games - Crossmath®, both at 4.9. A puzzle-and-trivia studio is quietly outworking almost everyone else on this board, one hidden object title and one number game at a time.

IKEA 宜家家居 breaks that mold. New to the top ten, it now sits at #3, and it's not a game, a bible app, or a self-care tracker. It's a furniture retailer's shopping app parked at a perfect 5.0 right next to Balatro and Partiful. Average movement inside the top ten over this window has run about 2 places, so IKEA showing up here isn't just noise.

What the Tail Doesn't Tell You

Nothing Bundt Cakes, of all things a bakery chain's app, also holds 4.9 in this same top 25, sitting next to REVOLVE and a logo-guessing quiz. A cake shop, a fashion retailer, and a trivia app, all within a tenth of a point of perfect. That's the texture of this board: once an app clears the 50,000-rating mark, category stops telling you much about score. What actually matters is whether people have something to complain about, and for this group, mostly, they don't.
