  • Usage Reports with App Store Connect

  • What is the Store Status Report?
    With each of the integrations we support for developer accounts, we rely on the stores to release their reports for the previous day, for importing. And the release times for these reports vary day to day and store to store, and by dataset. As a result, it's tough to predict exactly when these numbers will be published. That's why we've created the store status report! The rolling report will record the last 30 days of report release times (date and time) in your local timezone. What'sFew readers
  • What is Churn and How is it Calculated?
    Churn is a critical metric for apps monetizing with subscriptions! Subscriptions are a great way to grow a steady revenue stream - as long as you get more subscribers, you'll make more money.

Mobile SDKs come in a variety of flavors and offer an even wider variety of functionality.
