Is .app safe? The state of .app domain security
.app is riskier than the internet average. Across 2,425,305 graded .app domains, 88.6% score an F — worse than the 73.8% global average — heavier on exposed domains than the web as a whole. 1.1% earn a B or better. Most .app domains can still be impersonated in email, but the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
How do .app domains score?
Aggregate grade distribution across all graded .app domains — we never publish an individual business's grade. As of 2026-07-29.
| Grade | Domains | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 468 | 0% |
| A | 1,855 | 0.1% |
| B | 23,596 | 1% |
| C | 93,445 | 3.9% |
| D | 156,505 | 6.5% |
| F | 2,149,436 | 88.6% |
Does .app make a domain secure?
No — and that's the most important thing to know. A domain's grade is decided by how it is configured (SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS), not by its ending. Choosing .app doesn't protect you, and a high-F-share ending doesn't doom you: a correctly configured .app domain earns an A while the crowd around it sits at F.

Frequently asked questions
Is .app safe?
On average, .app is riskier than the internet average: 88.6% of its 2,425,305 graded domains score an F as of 2026-07-29, against a 73.8% global average. Most domains on every ending are exposed — the ending shifts the odds, not your own domain's grade.
How secure are .app domains?
11.4% of .app domains score above an F and 1.1% earn a B or better. The rest fail the basic externally observable protections, most importantly enforced SPF and DMARC, so they can be impersonated in email.
Does choosing .app make my domain secure?
No. A domain's grade comes from how it is configured — SPF, DMARC, HTTPS, DNS — not from its ending. A well-configured domain earns an A on any ending; an unconfigured one sits at F on .app too.
What does "grade F" mean for a .app domain?
It fails the basic protections we can observe from outside — above all, it has no enforced SPF and DMARC, so its email can be forged and its customers targeted with convincing fakes.
