Mobile has become the front and centre for marketers and businesses because advancement in mobile technology and launching of new mobile and its products almost every day has shifted web users to mobile users. There are millions of apps are available on App Store, Play Stores and many being added single day. So the competition of curse has increased for apps to stand out different in market. One cannot comprehend how exactly an app is performing just by looking at the App store or Play Store reviews and number of downloads. This isn’t give correct insights to user’s engagement with app.
Nowadays, Mobile app analytics is widespread and has been adopted by companies and developers globally. There is no more scarcity of insights into apps’ usage and adoption. App analytics is crucial for success of an app and its continuous improvement (Debajyoti, 2014).
Mobile App analytics enables us to measure the impact our app has made. Analytics provide insights into user behaviour and engagement, and scenarios like why an app has low usage, why an app is getting poor adoption, etc. These insights can be used to improve user engagement, increase user retention, and enhance the user experience. Mobile app analytics provides insights like how many active users are there for the app, on what devices and platforms are these users active on, from which geography, and how did they reach the app. These insights enable the developer to discover new and relevant users, and help in allocating resources for his/her app promotion (Debajyoti, 2014).
Many users download apps, use it once or twice and then become inactive. App analytics gives insights on who is using your app in real time, so that you get to know the actual number of users using the app. Several app analytics tools show the user path and engagement inside the app, such as where the user has taken actions, how much time the user has spent on a particular screen, on what screen he quit the app, etc. App developers can leverage these insights to troubleshoot the app and also check loyalty and frequency of user visits (Debajyoti, 2014).
In this paper, we are going to build mobile analytic tool based on certain parameters. We will demonstrate segmentation analysis, retention analysis for particular days as well geographically distributed users with the help of world map. All the output data collected will get displayed on dashboard. We will be considering daily active users, new users as well session started users for analysis. Then for retention analysis we will be calculating it for particular days as 1st day, 7th day, 30th day as well for various versions of app individually. To demonstrate all these features, we are considering Gaming Applications in particular 5 topmost mobile games as well to build this we will take help of Mixpanel API’s and other latest technologies.
