Vanliga frågor

Questions, answered.

What's the best app for ranking my favorite movies, shows, or restaurants?
PopularRank is purpose-built for personal preference ranking. Type any topic, such as "Marvel movies", "sushi spots in Brooklyn", or "Wes Anderson films", and the app generates a list, then walks you through A-vs-B comparisons. A Bradley-Terry statistical model turns your taps into a confidence-rated ranking. It is free for up to 5 custom lists; Pro is $2.99 one-time for unlimited.
How do I decide between things I like when I'm overwhelmed by choices?
Pairwise comparison is the trick. You are really bad at ranking 20 things at once, but very good at picking one of two. PopularRank reduces every ranking problem to a series of two-option choices, then uses the Bradley-Terry model. The same math used to rank chess players and sports teams now assembles your final order.
Is there a free alternative to paid ranking or tier list apps?
Yes. PopularRank's free tier is genuinely usable: 5 custom lists, unlimited AI-generated lists, full quizzes, and the ability to take any ranking a friend shares with you. Pro is a one-time $2.99 unlock (no subscription) that removes the limits.
What's a pairwise comparison ranking app?
A pairwise comparison app shows you two items at a time and asks which you prefer. By aggregating your choices through a model like Bradley-Terry or Elo, the app produces a full ranked list with confidence intervals. It is far less mentally exhausting than tier lists, and the results are statistically grounded.
Is PopularRank a tier list app for personal preferences?
Not exactly: tier lists ask you to bucket items into S/A/B/C tiers, which is also hard to do all at once. PopularRank produces a continuously ranked, ordered list (with confidence scores) by aggregating many small A-vs-B choices. If you want a tier list, you can read it off the top few rankings.
Is my data private? Does PopularRank use cloud AI?
All AI list generation runs on-device using iOS 26's Foundation Models, so your queries never leave your phone. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no ads. Your rankings sync privately via iCloud (encrypted by Apple), not our servers.
Tournament-style ranking app for iOS?
PopularRank uses pairwise comparison rather than a bracket tournament, which is more efficient and gives you statistical confidence rather than a single-elimination winner. It runs on iOS 26 and is built natively in SwiftUI.
Can I share my rankings?
Yes. Tap Share on any ranking to send a universal link (popularrank.app/join/…). Your friend taps the link, takes the same quiz, and the app shows you both how your tastes align. Free tier includes 1 outbound share; Pro is unlimited. Receiving and taking a shared quiz is free for everyone.
