App Store Connect Analytics Help
App usage
App usage data shows how people interact with your app after they install it. It helps you understand how many users opened your app, how many return to it over time, how many delete it, and whether the experience is stable and reliable.
This data helps you answer questions like: How many people are using my app on a daily or monthly basis? Are more people installing or deleting my app? How often is my app crashing?
To understand what percentage of users open your app in the days after installing it, see app retention.
Filters and Dimensions

-

-

Privacy and data availability
App usage data is collected only from users who have agreed to share diagnostics and usage information with app developers. You can view opt-in rate history in App Analytics to understand what percentage of your users are contributing usage data and how opt-in trends affect data visibility.
