MyRadar and The Weather Channel achieved the number one spots in Google Play Store and Apple App Store Publisher Trust Indexes in June in North America, respectively.
MyRadar jumped from the second position in Google Play Store ranking in May and overtook The Weather Channel, which obtained the double first positions last month. Still, in June, the developer can be proud of the second and first spots in Pixalate’s rankings for the best quality apps for advertisers.
How did they achieve it?
A new Google Play’s ranking leader - MyRadar - performed well across all measured metrics, which resulted in the highest possible grade, “A” in all categories. Particularly Viewability and Brand Safety distinguish the app, which scored a perfect 99 in these classifications.
The Weather Channel maintained the number one spot in the Apple App Store ranking by excellent and versatile performance. The app connected enormous Popularity with good scores in qualitative metrics, such as Invalid Traffic and Brand Safety.
More quality mobile apps for advertisers
However, there are more quality apps besides the two described above. For example, Words With Friends 2 secured top 5 spots in both rankings. It is one of only a few apps obtaining “A’s” in all categories in both mobile classifications.
Interestingly, besides excellent performances in Pixalate’s CTV rankings, Hulu also reached the top 10 positions in both Google Play and App Store rankings. Moreover, it is the only app securing this achievement.
