Well, I'm not doing it for sexual or violent gratification (what I associate the word 'stalking' with) but I am looking to see how people are using the apps .. and it has definitely helped me identify trouble areas with usability, improvements over versions, and so on. Without flurry analytics, I probably wouldn't be able to identify improvements and tweaks that I can make that will benefit the whole, and would have to rely on a very small percentage of users giving me feedback, which may in fact not be of any benefit whatsoever to the larger whole. Its a delicate situation, but as a developer I have to be trustworthy - and I think this is best reflected in the changes I make that make users think my app is worth using, more and more ..
