How SheRanked Scores Apps and Why It Helps Women
Many women want to use health apps, but it is hard to know which ones are safe, clear, and well designed. Some apps look great on the surface but hide important details. Some collect more data than you think. Some do not show how the app works behind the scenes.
This is why SheRanked scores apps. Our scores help women see the truth fast.
What our scores mean
At SheRanked, we look at open, factual information that any woman should be able to find. We do not guess. We do not make claims. We check what the app shows on its website, in its policy, and inside the app.
Our scores help women see:
how safe the app is
how open the app is
how easy the app is to use
if the claims make sense
if the team is clear about their work
1. Medical Integrity
We look for simple facts.
Does the app:
name the medical team
explain their training
say how they help
keep medical content up to date
We do not say an app is unsafe if they do not have doctors.
We only look for clear and honest details.
2. Ethical Standards
This checks if the app is careful and fair.
We look at:
how they talk about symptoms
if they avoid fear-based language
if they make claims they cannot support
if they give balanced, safe advice
Women deserve tools that respect them.
3. Data Privacy and Protection
This helps women understand what happens to their data.
We look for:
clear privacy rules
simple words
what data they collect
who they share it with
if you can delete your data
if “anonymous mode” is truly anonymous
We want women to feel safe, not unsure.
4. Transparency
This checks how easy it is to find basic information.
Some apps score low here because the details are hidden, not because they are doing something wrong.
We look for:
clear team information
easy-to-find policies
open answers about tracking
simple facts about how the app works
honest limits
When things are hard to find, women cannot make good choices.
5. User Accessibility
This checks how easy the app is to use.
We look at:
clear design
simple words
easy steps
no confusing menus
helpful support
We want women to feel confident, not lost.
How this helps women
Our scoring system helps women:
find safe apps fast
feel less confused
compare apps in one place
understand what is real
protect their data
choose tools that suit them
Women should not need medical or legal training to make a safe choice.
Our scores make this simple.
Why some apps score low
A low score does not always mean an app is bad.
Some apps score low because:
they are new and have not added full details yet
the information is hard to find
the medical team is not shown
the privacy rules are unclear
the claims need more support
As the app grows and becomes more open, the score can change.
How this helps developers
We want to raise the standard of women’s health apps.
We share clear hints and tips with developers to help them:
be more open
show their medical teams
make safer claims
improve privacy steps
design clearer content
We work with developers who want to create stronger, safer tools for women.
When apps improve their transparency, their scores rise.
Final Thoughts
Women deserve clear information, safe tools, and honest details.
SheRanked scores apps to help women feel in control and supported.
Every app should be easy to understand.
Every woman should feel safe when she checks her health.
