What it does

Design mobile app analytics tracking plan and interpret app performance data

Best for

Mobile teams who need structured metrics frameworks to answer business questions (retention/LTV/churn) rather than raw dashboards.

Inputs
  • · app type (fitness/productivity/social/finance/games)
  • · analytics tools in use (Firebase/Mixpanel/Amplitude)
  • · top 3 business questions about app
  • · revenue model (F2P/IAP/subscription)
Outputs
  • · event tracking plan (core events: onboarding/core action/monetization/engagement)
  • · funnel definitions by user journey
  • · metrics framework (acquisition/engagement/retention/revenue)
  • · cohort analysis template
  • · benchmark comparison
Requires
  • · Firebase Analytics
  • · Mixpanel or Amplitude (optional)
  • · App Store Connect
  • · RevenueCat (if subscriptions)
  • · Adjust or AppsFlyer (if paid UA)
Preconditions
  • · activation event clearly defined
  • · analytics tool already configured
Failure modes
  • · tracks vanity metrics (daily active users) instead of LTV signals
  • · missing attribution setup for paid acquisition channels
  • · funnel definitions too wide (doesn't isolate drop-off)
  • · doesn't segment by cohort/source/device
  • · no churn measurement for subscriptions
Trust signals
  • · app-type-specific metrics (fitness activation = first workout, social = first connection)
  • · Day 1/7/30 retention benchmarks by app type
  • · ARPU/ARPPU/LTV calculation formulas
  • · core event templates (onboarding + monetization + engagement)
  • · funnel structure by app type
