What Analytics services are there?

Hi guys, I was just wondering, that now I am stacking in a few downloads for my app, I would like to be able to track stuff like user activity. What services are out there that can monitor page views for each of my pages, as well as monitoring how long users spend on average on each of my pages, and how many repeated page views... all that kind of stuff. Basically, is there a Google Analytics for apps! Cheers guys,

I´d recommend 3 services: 1) Flurry (Free + paid services), 2) New Relic (real-time), very nice (Freemium) Both of these need code in your app. 3) Distimo (Free, no code in your app, just your Apple app ID). Cheers!

to answer your question - Yes! There is a google analytics for apps - http://www.google.com/analytics/features/mobile.html - I wasn't able to get it working though. If you manage to get it going, please post back here and let me know Aside from that, I would recommend Flurry for analytics on user activity...it's really the only other free one available. It seems like every other analytics service costs a LOT of money, unless you have a very small user base

Apple has some kind of tracking, but I haven't looked at it much... I've been using 'App Annie' and since all my stuff is free, it just tallies the downloads... It just uses your Apple/Google ID. www.appannie.com Cheers! -- Smug

I used App Annie to track downloads, but I use Flurry to see how many people are using my app each day. I'm far from being an expert coder and I got Flurry working.
