Install -> First Open rates are less than 30%. I assume the disparity has to do with bots trying to futz with numbers in the mobile stores because I legitimately do not understand how a human might purposefully download an app but never open it on their device. That said, articles like these lack this context, are generally disingenuous, and don't track anything but a single point in time. Let's have a chat in 9-12 months and see where it's at.

In the various leaks earlier, we already learned this is a heavily bottled "community". We should really not look at numbers so easily faked, and not let such actors so easily dictate our news.

Where did you find ‘First Open’ rates? I don’t think Apple tracks this?

From where to get this data for android or ios platform? Interested to find out about other apps and their open rates.

I do that a lot. Normally it's because I see some interesting app pop up while I am looking for some other type of app, so I install that advertised app but carry on searching the app store for the thing I am after at the time. And sometimes I forget I installed it and never open it. So if this has been up for only a day or so then I dont think that tells us much.

I have 2 iphones and an ipad sharing the same Apple ID. If I install an app on my main phone, it will be installed on the other 2 devices automatically. While I'm an outlier at 3 devices, I expect a few people are in a similar situation. Others even share the ID with family to avoid paying apps more than once (yes, I know family sharing exists, I'm not the one who's doing that).

  You can turn that off if you want (i did).

Highly likely it’s because of the “pre-order” - users agree to have it downloaded when it is released and may not receive a notification of its installation weeks or months later.

  Is this something you can do in the Apple App store? Or is it only Android?
