Android apps ranked by rating, with the count behind every number so an average never stands alone.
A star rating printed on its own is a claim, not evidence. Top Rated APKs prints the count beside every rating, so a 4.9 from a dozen people reads differently than a 4.6 from fifty thousand, the way it should.
An app needs a minimum number of ratings behind it before it is ranked at all. Below that line, a perfect average is just noise, and it stays off the list until enough people have actually weighed in.
The order is settled and written out as a static page ahead of time, so the ranking you see loads instantly and matches what was calculated, not something assembled on the fly.
Ratings and counts are pulled from the public record and can drift out of date. Send the app and what you are seeing through the contact form, and the figure gets rechecked.
An installer rebuilt from someone else's app, a paid app unlocked without permission, or anything using a publisher name it has no claim to is refused before a rating is even counted.
Top Rated APKs is maintained by a small team who got tired of "top rated" badges that turned out to mean five people liked an app enough to say so.
The ranking is recalculated as ratings and counts change, and an app that falls below the minimum count is pulled from the list rather than left ranked on an old number.
An average is an opinion. A count is what makes it worth reading.
