Ask HN: Do the app stores provide statistical data about who downloads your app?
Do the mobile app stores we are all familiar with (i.e. iTunes / Google Play / BB App World) provide information to an app developer about the demographics of individuals downloading their apps?
I have a client who would like to know if this information is available but I have no published apps to verify whether or not this information is provided.
Thank you!
- iwaffles 14y agoHello, iOS developer here. Some of the data I'm able to see contains location (Country). I don't know much more than that, however, there may be tools that you can build into your app to discover such data (if you do this, please let the user opt-in). This article may be of help: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/tracking-the-success-of-your-ipad-app.html http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/tracking-the-success-o... - I personally use AppViz which makes viewing data much more convenient.
- idoh 14y agoI only know iTunes. The reports you get are pretty limited. You get downloads by day. You also get "Top Markets" so you can get a breakdown by country. But you can't see age or gender.
- ssebro 14y agoI can speak to itunes, which doesn't. But I'm working on a solution that will do this and more - send me an email at ssebro at stanford dot edu for more info!
