Chapter 12. Analytics

Your app may be live and you may be gathering great statistics for the number of downloads from iTunes Connect. But that's not even half of the story. How many users are you retaining? How many are using your best feature? Which makes of phone are using your app? If you only rely on iTunes statistics, you will be missing out on vast amounts of important information.

If you are a website owner, you will already appreciate just how useful the analytic tools provided by Google or Bing are. Being able to track visitors to your site and the paths they take is a vital tool. The story should be no different for your apps. You need to know who is using your app and what they are doing with it. When you know this, you can really start to reap the benefits by tailoring your app to the users and targeting your market better.
