App analytics & crash reporting
In-app analytics and crash reporting, tools like Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, so you can see how people actually use the app and catch crashes before they cost you users.
In depth
What app analytics & crash reporting really involves
Without data, product decisions are opinions. Analytics shows which screens people use, where they quit a sign-up or checkout, and which features nobody touches. Crash reporting shows what's breaking, on which devices and versions, often before a single user complains. Together they turn guesses into evidence.
The mistake we see most is tracking everything and understanding nothing. We prefer to start with questions. What does success look like? Which steps lead to it? Where do we suspect people get stuck? From those we draw up a short, named list of events. A tidy tracking plan keeps reports readable months later, and avoids the mess that appears when every developer invents their own event names.
Privacy is part of the design. We collect what the product questions need, avoid unnecessary personal data, respect consent rules where they apply, and document what's tracked, so your privacy policy and store declarations match reality. Crash reports are set up to help engineers fix problems without exposing sensitive information.

How it goes
How we approach app analytics & crash reporting
Define the questions and key funnels
What do you need to know: activation, sign-up completion, purchase, retention? We sketch the funnels that answer it.
Write the tracking plan
A named, documented list of events and properties, with an owner for each. Keeps data consistent and easy to analyse.
Implement analytics and crash reporting
We integrate the chosen tools, confirm events fire on both platforms, and tie crashes to app versions, devices and the steps that led to them.
Dashboards and a review habit
A small dashboard of the numbers that matter, and a suggested regular review. Data only helps if someone looks at it.
Ideal for
Who this fits
Apps already live with no visibility into usage or crashes
New apps that want data-driven decisions from launch
Watch out for
Common mistakes, and how we avoid them
Tracking with no plan
Hundreds of unnamed events are unusable. We keep a short, documented set.
Ignoring consent and privacy
Collecting data without disclosure brings legal and store risk. We align tracking with your declarations.
Crash alerts nobody reads
Reports sent to an unwatched inbox are useless. Serious issues go somewhere your team actually looks.
