@Ruslan Avramenko - in the restart button callback, you will want to compare the number in the high score field with that in the current score field. Something like

        function RestartButtonPushed(app, event)
            stop(app.t);
            app.Label_3.Text = num2str(max(str2double(app.Label.Text), str2double(app.Label_3.Text)))
            app.Label.Text = num2str(0);
            app.Label_2.Text = num2str(60);
            app.t = timer;
            StartButtonPushed(app,event);
        end

I think that you could make these two fields, Label and Labe_3, numeric text fields so that you could avoid the conversion to and from strings.

Thank you so much! Now it works :)

You can store the high score in a file. Test if the file exists and if so load the previous high score information. Each time a game completes save the high score information

Or... you can use https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/setpref.html setpref to record the high score without writing a file.
