What is covered
Currently 220 countries and territories, 1504 apps, 2808 local websites and 23 categories. Countries are ranked by total internet users rather than penetration or GDP — absolute audience size says more about market scale.
Sources
User and penetration figures come from DataReportal’s Digital 2026 (Kepios, drawing on ITU, GSMA Intelligence and national statistical offices), cross-checked against official sources such as CNNIC in China and India’s NSO. App and website facts — developer, launch year, platforms, official address — come from each product’s own website and public app-store listings.
Language policy
Every country page is written in the country’s most widely used language — not machine-translated from English. Countries with several major languages (India, Spain, South Africa, Bangladesh and others) also publish alternate versions, switchable at the top of each page. The interface covers more languages; see the “all languages” page for the full list.
Editorial rules
- Describe what is publicly verifiable. We do not rank apps as “best”, only as “most used”.
- Every outbound link goes straight to the official product site — no redirects, no affiliate tags.
- No visitor analytics, no third-party ad scripts.
- Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting as an agent for any listed app or developer.
Update cadence
Figures and app lists are refreshed with each annual DataReportal release; app launch and platform details are revised as needed. Last updated: 2026-11-12.
