They allow your app to be unique from all the other apps in the marketplace. With our Plugin Analytics you’ll be able to see information on which plugins are accessed the most and more!

What are some Pro Tips you should know about to take your app to the next level?

Having worked with apps for years, we’ve learned a thing or two. So, to both help your app stand out and accomplish your primary goals, here are some tips you should consider.

Pro Tip 1: Use these Analytics to gauge the amount of interaction users are having with your app

When you take a look at the overall analytics of how often a plugin is opened in relation to its surrounding plugins, you can see how easy or hard it is for users to navigate around your app. If there’s a plugin that you’d like to encourage people to use, but it has a low open-rate, think about ways you can make that grow!

Pro Tip 2: Use the Top Users Analytics to help encourage your most loyal users

Everyone likes to be acknowledged and what better way to engage with your most loyal users than to send the top users of your app a little something as a thank you? This not only makes them feel appreciated, but can also help spread your app’s presence through word of mouth. You could send them a personalized message, or a coupon. The sky’s the limit!
