Metric definitions

Metrics are the quantitative measurements that help you understand how your app is performing across the user journey—from discovery to download to long-term engagement. They provide the data you need to evaluate your app's health and make informed decisions about your strategy.

  • App Store metrics: Measure how users discover your app, including impressions, product page views, and conversion rate, helping you understand the effectiveness of your App Store presence.

  • Downloads metrics: Measure first-time downloads, redownloads, and total downloads, showing how your acquisition efforts translate into installs.

  • Sales metrics: Capture revenue performance, including proceeds, In-App Purchases, paying users, and refund data.

  • Usage metrics: Reveal how users engage with your app after downloading, including installations, sessions, active devices, crashes, and deletions.

  • In-App Event metrics: Measure the performance of your In-App Events on the App Store, including event impressions, page views, and user actions like reminders and notification taps.

  • Subscription metrics: Provide a comprehensive view of your subscription business, including subscriber state, lifecycle events like trial starts and renewals, and key rates like conversion and monthly recurring revenue.

  • App Clip metrics: Measure how users discover and engage with your App Clip, including card views, installations, sessions, and crashes.

Some metrics are only available if certain app features are enabled—for example, subscription metrics require auto-renewable subscriptions, and In-App Event metrics only appear after your app receives five first-time downloads from at least one In-App Event. Usage data is based on users who have opted in to share their analytics with you.

You can filter each metric by various dimensions to dig deeper into your data—for example, viewing downloads by territory or narrowing your view to a specific device type. Learn more about filters and dimensions.
