What makes an iPhone app good has less to do with its feature list than with daily use: does it launch quickly, can it be handled with one hand, is it careful with battery and mobile data, and does it still do something useful without a connection? Then come the questions a store page never answers — what data does it ask for, can you use the full feature set without a subscription, and is it still usable after the next iOS update? That kind of experience is what a vote carries.
The order comes purely from upvotes minus downvotes. There is no editorial pick and no paid placement; sponsored entries are labelled and never count towards the ranking. Because every vote takes effect immediately, this list may look different tomorrow — by design.
