In July, The Weather Channel and MyRadar remained at the top of the Pixalate Publisher Trust Index for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, respectively.
The Weather Channel, the leader of the Apple App Store ranking in July, has been atop the rankings for four straight months now. The Weather Channel achieved the top spot by a versatile performance across all measured metrics, including the highest possible score of 99 in Viewability and Brand Safety. Also, the app's Invalid Traffic (IVT) score was 92 - an “A” grade.
MyRadar remained at the top of Google Play Store classification for the second month in a row after dethroning The Weather Channel in June. MyRadar performed well across all metrics, including remarkable results in Permission (95), Ads.txt (92), and Brand Safety (99).
Words with Friends 2 is one of them. Except for the leading two apps highlighted above, Words with Friends 2 is the only app present in the top 10 of both Apple App Store and Google Play Store rankings.
It is also worth mentioning that Words with Friends 2 and The Weather Channel are the only apps achieving the highest mark ("A") in all measured metrics in both mobile classifications.

The Indexes examine programmatic advertising activity on mobile apps and Connected TV (CTV) apps (collectively, the “apps”). As cited in the Indexes and referenced in the Indexes’ key findings reproduced herein, the ratings and rankings in the Indexes are based on a number of metrics (e.g., “Brand Safety”) and Pixalate’s opinions regarding the relative performance of each app publisher with respect to the metrics. The data is derived from buy-side, predominantly open auction, programmatic advertising transactions, as measured by Pixalate. The Indexes examine global advertising activity across North America, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM, respectively, as well as programmatic advertising activity within discrete app categories. Any insights shared are grounded in Pixalate’s proprietary technology and analytics, which Pixalate is continuously evaluating and updating.

Per the MRC, “'Fraud' is not intended to represent fraud as defined in various laws, statutes and ordinances or as conventionally used in U.S. Court or other legal proceedings, but rather a custom definition strictly for advertising measurement purposes. Also per the MRC, “‘Invalid Traffic’ is defined generally as traffic that does not meet certain ad serving quality or completeness criteria, or otherwise does not represent legitimate ad traffic that should be included in measurement counts. Among the reasons why ad traffic may be deemed invalid is it is a result of non-human traffic (spiders, bots, etc.), or activity designed to produce fraudulent traffic.”
