However,allthatdatameansnothingtoyourcompanyunlessyou knowhowtoanalyzeit.Inthisarticle,wearegoingtoreview3mobile appanalyticsandhowtousethemforyourapp’soverallsuccess.

  3. APPDOWNLOADS Beforewegetintoourlist,Iwantedtosaysomethingreallyquicklyaboutappdownloads.People whowanttoadvertisetheirmobileappanalyticsalmostneverlookpastthemostobviousone,app downloads.Inreality,theappdownloadmetricisnotashelpfulofametricasyoumightexpect.

Aswegothroughthislist,themostimportantwordtorememberisactionable.Bethinking, “Are theseanalyticsactuallysomethingIcantakeanduseforaspecificactiontoimprovemyapp?” Do thatandyouwillbemuchmoresuccessful. Now,let’sgetintothelist.

  4. (1) ACTIVEUSERS Likeappdownloads,dailyactiveusers (DAU) hasbeenoneofthemostwronglyusedmobileapp analytics.Inreality,DAUasametricdoesn’thaveanyactionablemeaningtoyourcompany.The reasonforthisstemsmainlyfromtwoproblemsthatDAUhas: Ifyourdailyactiveusersnumbersstartfalling,youhavenoideawhy.It’snotactionableandcan beafalsewarningsign. Thereisnoindustryconsistency.WhencompaniestalkabouttheirDAUmetric,thereisnoreal waytofullyunderstandwhatthatnumbermeansbecauseeveryonecalculatesitdifferently. Somecompaniesmightcountdailyactiveusersascustomerswhoopenspendmorethan5 minutesintheirapp.Otherswillcountauserforsimplyopeningtheapp.Somecompaniesmayonly needtheirusertoopenanadjacentapptocountasaDAU.Asyoucansee,withsomuch manipulationhappening,thereisnowayyoucanrelyonthismetricforcreatinganactionableplan.

  5. TURNINGYOURDAUSINTOADUS Now,whiledailyactiveusersarenotareliablestatistic,averagedailyusers (ADUs) eliminatesomeof theproblemsfoundwithDAUs.Whenyouaverageouthowmanyusersareworkingwithyourapp onadailybasis,youwillhaveamorerealisticideaofhowmanyregularusersyouhave. It’snotaboutyourdailyusers,it’saboutregularuserswhocreatevalueandareactiveonyourapp. Thesearetheusersyouwanttofocuson.Now,youmaybeaskinghowunderstandingADUscanbe anactionablemetricforyourbusiness,butthehonesttruthisthattheyaren’tactionableinandof themselves. ADUsarebetterthanDAUs,butnoneofthesemobileappanalyticsandmetricsexistinavacuum.In ordertotakeyouranalysisfromgoodtogreat,youneedtohaveyourmetricsworkingtogetherto fullyunderstandyourusers.Apowerfulwaytothatisbymeasuringsomethingcalledsessions.

  6. (2) SESSIONS Sessionsarehowlongsomeoneisinyourapp,activelyusingit,fromopentoclose.Justlike withdailyactiveusers,therearenosetbenchmarksonhowlongasessionshouldbeforittobe valuablebecauseitisgoingtovarydependingonthepurposeoftheapp.While90seconds maybemorethanenoughforsomeonetochecktheirbankaccount,that’snotenoughtimeto listentoanentiresongorfindaconcertticket. Onceyouhaveagoodunderstandingoftheoptimalsessiontimeforyourapp,thenyouwillbe abletostarttrackingmoreactionablemetricslikewhenusers (especiallyfirsttimers) are droppingoff.Somethingelsethatmightvarybyindustry,butthatisstillimportanttotrack,is howmanysessionsittakesforausertoconvert.Ifyouareexpectingconversiononthefirst sessionandyouraverageisclosertothree,itmightbetimetodosomedigging.

  8. EVENTTRACKING Similartotrackingdrop-offs,eventtrackingisamobileappanalyticstoolthatwillhelpyourappto continuouslybeimprovedbyseeingwhichfeaturesyourusersareenjoyingandwhichonesthey areignoring.Ifyouareunfamiliarwiththeterm “eventinrelationtomobileapps,aneventis basicallyanytimeauserhasaninteractionwithapartofyourapp. Averycommoneventthatmanyarefamiliarwithiswhenapop-uphappenswithintheappthatsays somethinglike “Enjoyingtheapp?Rateyourexperienceintheappstore!” Whilethiscanoftenbe annoying,ifeven10% oftheusersonthatappleaveareview,itwillbeworthit.

TOTALUSERTIMEINAPP Understandingnotonlyhowlongeachusersessionis,buttheirtotaltimewithinyourappisan importantmetrictokeepaneyeon.Again,thismobileappanalyticcanhavetheappearanceof goodresultsbutmightactuallybetellingyouwheretoimproveperformance.

  10. (3) FUNNELS Nowthatyouhaveabetterunderstandingofwhoyouractiveusersare,howlong theyarespendinginyourapp,andwhicheventstheyareinteractingwith,nowit’s timetoaddsomefunnelsandstartconvertingtheseusers.Funnelsareessentially splitsintheroad,whereusersarepromptedtomakeadecisiononiftheyaregoing togofurtherorstaywheretheyare. Wealreadytalkedaboutfirst-timedrop-offrates,sometimescalledtheonboarding funnel.Inthisfunnel,usershavemadethedecisiontodownloadyourappbut haven’tsigneduporfullycompletedtheonboardingprocess.However,let’stalk abouttwootherimportantfunnelsyouneedtounderstand:thein-apppurchase funnelandthecampaignfunnel.

  11. THEIN-APPPURCHASEFUNNEL Manymobileappshavesomeformofin-apppurchaseormicro-transactionsthatcanoccurinordertoaccess premiumcontent,placeanorder,orevenaddanotherlifeinagame.Usually,whatevertheymightbe,thesemicro- transactionscanbeagreatwaytomakeyourappprofitable,sotheyneedtobemeasured.

  12. THECAMPAIGNFUNNEL Whilethein-apppurchasefunnelisgoingtobasicallyalwaysbethere,campaignfunnelsare designedforlimited-runcampaignstargetingspecificgoals.Forinstance,ifyourcompanyisstarting anewemailmarketingcampaignandyouaretryingtoboostsupportforyournewsletter,youcan haveapageonyourappwhereyoucanaskforsignups.
