Statistics page

Note: As of July 2019, we made major updates to our metrics to make your stats more comprehensive and useful. To learn more about these updates, go to the Android Developers site.

To better understand your app's performance, you can use the Statistics page to compare metrics, select custom date ranges, and view data by dimensions. You can also compare growth rate metrics with peer groups on Google Play to understand how your app is performing.

Tip: The updated metrics may have affected the way you set up and understand your reports. We recommend you take the time to understand the changes so that you can configure the metrics to generate reports that are compatible with your previous data.

Set up your report

  1. Open Play Console and go to the Statistics page.
  2. To view your app's absolute performance, remain in the App statistics tab (the default tab). To view normalized metrics and benchmarks, select the Compare to Peers tab.
  3. At the top right of your screen, select the date range you want to view.
    • ​To compare data from two date ranges, move the "Compare" switch to the right until it turns blue, and then select a second date range.
  4. In the "Configure report" section, select the metric you want to view using the blue down arrow.
    • Note: Some metrics have tertiary options. For example, you can configure User acquisitions to show new users, returning users, or all users.
  5. Define how the metric is calculated and displayed (your chosen metric will determine what options are available to you). Consider the following:
    • Use Event type to specify what you want to calculate which are as follows:
      • All events: Every instance of an event, such as every time your app is installed.
      • Unique: The number of unique users or devices that experience an event, such as the number of unique devices that install your app.
        • Note: Unique is only available for acquisition and churn metrics when you select weekly or longer intervals.
    • Use Metric calculation to specify how you’d like the following data to be calculated:
      • Per interval: The data collected in each time interval, such as the number of first-time installers each month.
      • 30-day rolling average: The average from the data collected over the preceding 30 days.
    • Use Time intervals to specify the intervals you’d like to aggregate data over the following periods:
      • Hourly (only available for periods of 30 days or fewer)
      • Daily
      • Calendar Weekly
      • Calendar Monthly
      • Quarterly
        • Note: Longer intervals will become available for some metrics as data becomes available over time.
  6. If you want to plot a second metric to compare to the first, click Add a metric. You can configure your second metric as described above.
  7. Select the down arrow to choose the dimensions you want to apply, such as countries or Android versions, to display on the chart displayed below your selections.
  8. If you want to plot a subset of a dimension such as a specific version of Android or country, click Add.

Evaluate your data

See how your app's growth rate compares to peers

You can use the Compare to peers tab to understand how your selected metrics are performing in relation to groups of peer apps from one period to the next. The relative performance data on this tab is normalized for scale, allowing you to judge your performance against key areas of the ecosystem, so you can tell if your app is performing well or not in comparison to your peer groups.

The following are two selectors available:

  • Peer group: Use the Peer group selector to choose a set of apps to compare your app with.
  • Country: Filter your report to a specific country or region.

Note: Comparisons will be available when there are enough apps with the specified peer group matching your chosen metric.

Easily see the dimensions that have impacted your data the most

The "Change analysis" chart automatically evaluates the first period of your selected time range and the final one with full data. It highlights the dimensions that have changed the most to allow you to understand the biggest contributors to your trends.

Comparison tips

The following are ways you can use metric comparisons to analyze app performance:

  • Compare your app's total users and uninstalls over time.
  • Compare your app's crashes and daily average review score before and after a release that addressed stability.
  • Compare your apps' daily uninstall rate to the 30-day rolling average uninstall rate to evaluate how daily variations contribute to overall trends.
See how events affect your app's metrics

You can see how changes to your app affect specific metrics using the events timeline. By combining your app's data with the dates of key events, you can quickly see things like the following:

  • How a sale affects revenue.
  • How the rollout of a new release affects crashes.
  • How a subscription price change affects the number of buyers.

After you've configured a report on the Statistics or Subscriptions page, the events timeline appears under the dates on your chart. Hover over each dot to see the event description. Larger dots indicate multiple events on the same day.
