Hey there, you savvy app aficionado! Ever wondered why your mobile app isn’t quite hitting the mark? Or perhaps you’re just curious about the secret sauce that makes some apps sizzle while others fizzle out? Well, you’re in luck! We’re about to embark on a whimsical journey through the labyrinth of mobile app metrics and KPIs. We promise it’s not as scary as it sounds. In fact, we’ve added a dash of humor to make it as entertaining as your favorite sitcom. So grab a cup of coffee (or a margarita, we don’t judge), sit back, and let’s unravel the mysteries of mobile app metrics together!
1. Cost Per Install (CPI)
Imagine you’re throwing a party (a party of app installs, that is). You’ve got the venue, the music, and the snacks, but you need guests. That’s where CPI comes in. It’s like paying a cover charge for each guest that shows up to your app party. The lower the cover charge, the better the party… or something like that.
2. Click to Install (CTI)
CTI is like the bouncer at the door of your app party. It’s all about how many people clicked on your ad (got past the bouncer) and then actually installed your app (made it to the party). If your CTI is low, it might be time to have a chat with your bouncer.
3. Active Users
Active users are the life of your app party. They’re the ones dancing, chatting, and generally making the most of your app. If your active user count is low, it might be time to rethink your party playlist (or your app features).
4. Sessions Per User
This is all about how often your party guests are coming back for more. If your sessions per user are high, it means your app party is the hottest ticket in town. If not, well, maybe it’s time to bring out the karaoke machine.
5. Retention Rate
Retention rate is all about how many of your party guests stick around. If your retention rate is low, it might be time to rethink your party snacks (or your user experience).
6. Uninstall Rate
The uninstall rate is like the morning-after cleanup of your app party. It’s all about how many guests decided they’d had enough and left for good. If your uninstall rate is high, it might be time to rethink… well, everything.
7. Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)
ROAS is like the party budget. It’s all about how much bang you’re getting for your buck. If your ROAS is high, it means your party is a hit. If not, well, maybe it’s time to cut back on the disco ball budget.
8. Install to Purchase Conversion Rate
This metric is all about who’s buying the drinks at your app party. If your conversion rate is high, it means your guests are not just dancing, they’re also spending. Cha-ching!
9. Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)
ARPU is like the average amount each guest spends at your party. If your ARPU is high, it means your guests are not just having a good time, they’re also making it rain!
10. Lifetime Value (LTV)
Finally, LTV is like the ultimate measure of a guest’s worth. It’s not just about how much they spend at one party, but all the parties they attend over time. If your LTV is high, it means your guests are loyal, spending party-goers. Party on!
