What is analytics?

Analytics is an umbrella term for all functions of data analysis from data collection to presentation of actionable insights. With analytics tools, data can be easily interpreted and applied in a multitude of uses in order to improve performance.

Once an app goes live, it’s essential for developers to understand how the app is performing, and for marketers to understand the efficiency of UA campaigns. Data analytics allows them to analyze data, find patterns, and discover insights on user behavior and app trends. Marketers and developers can leverage mobile analytics to learn which channels users have been acquired from, what users are doing in-app, when they are opening and closing the app, and the length of time the app is in use, among other use cases.

App analytics are also helpful in identifying the point(s) at which users are churning. For example, if you have an e-commerce app and discover that a high number of your users lapse right before making a purchase, there could be an issue with the final step in your funnel. Even if there isn’t a fundamental issue with the purchasing process, data analytics has highlighted an area in need of improvement which, when addressed, could then drive further conversions.

Whether you’re looking at how users interact with ads or their in-app behavior, analytics can give you the data to improve your strategy. This includes optimizing your user experience, improving conversion rates, and achieving an overall understanding of your app with clear actions to achieve desired outcomes.

Advertising channels will provide a view of the performance of your ads on their channel. However, the most efficient mobile analytics platform is one that gives you a view of your performance across all channels, as well as within your app itself. Hint hint, that’s Adjust!
