We are working with alot of affiliate offers and run FB traffic mainly directly to offer domains. We are seeing about 10-20 discrepancies in our results.
Is it possible at all to achieve 100% accuracy after ios 14 updates?
We have tried following things
implementing FB CAPI with event deduplication.
tried Redtrack tracking tool
tried Voluum tracking tool
Any help is appreciated.

We have an Android app built using Unity and the Google Analytics GAv4 plugin for Unity.
The use-case is that the users might use the app for days without internet, and when they do connect to internet again our expectations is that the data is cached on the device and will then be sent off.
Our initial tests seems to work, but cannot find any reference to how long the data persists on the device, and if there are any expiration of the data. The users have experienced that they miss some data generated when offline.
I have tried exploring the plugin, but cannot seem to find anything about how it caches the data. Anyone who have experience with this?
It looks like it is using com.google.android.gms.analytics.GoogleAnalytics which you can search the documentation on. It also might depend on the highest API level/android version on their device, where low version may not be able to send while offline or something. I think this page explains a little about how it keeps checking for a connection and tries to dispatch the events:
https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/analytics/GoogleAnalytics#dispatchLocalHits()
I saw in the plugin source code here:
https://github.com/googleanalytics/google-analytics-plugin-for-unity/blob/master/source/Plugins/GoogleAnalyticsV4/GoogleAnalyticsAndroidV4.cs
what are the advantages and disadvantages in using Flurry or Localytics?
I can't answer about iOS, but the Android libraries for Flurry had a very half-baked feel to them when I tried them out about 3 months ago. There's a lot less power in their stats reporting and drilling down through the data can be like pulling teeth.
Additionally, I was getting wildly inaccurate session counts in a small closed beta test of my app (1000 sessions reported in a few minutes from one device). When I contacted Flurry support, it took them nearly a week to get back to me and then all I got was a fairly useless stock response. That alone knocked them straight off my list of potential analytics providers.
I've used Localytics on Android for hundreds of thousands of total installs at this point and am quite happy. Android gets treated as a first-class citizen (rather than feeling like a bolt-on on Flurry or even Google Analytics), and they have a pretty nice looking UI with a lot of good drilldown controls.
Both services are free and both services provide the same basic functionality of providing app analytics (e.g. number of users, type of devices, how the users are interacting with the app, etc.).
I have used both services for Android, although I am currently using Localytics because the Localytics library is open source. The Flurry library is closed source. Open source has the advantage that you can modify the library, as well as see exactly what the library is collecting.
Using flurry in your app you can trace your app, Suppose you want to track that this button pressed how many times ,You can use flurry it shows that in this location this app is used and that button is pressed that number of times.
DISADVantage:- Flurry is very slow it gives you results in 14-15 hours.
ADVANTAGE:- it is free
OTHER :- in place of flurry you can use google analytics(free) and omniture(Paid but give result faster)
you have to register yourself in flurry.com
Both of them store the data in public area. Although the data is so-called privacy, but it's not on your own server.
Flurry is free but provides much less detailed information, and flurry also only accepts up to 10 parameters per event. Localytics makes it easy to sort your data in many ways. For example I can look at all my users for the past week, now I can view users per day, or per hour. Then I can split the data to show me which users that played in the last week started playing the game for the first time, and then I can view that chart scaled to 100%. I could then add a filter so that I'm only looking at data from the users that started on a specific date, or specific week, or even multiple specific dates/weeks/etc. There are only a few things that I'd like from the localytics website that they don't provide, like retention data for days 8-13, or 15-27, or past 28 days, but those things can all be done through SQL queries.
Basically, flurry is free, but basic compared to what you get from localytics. Localytics I believe is free up until 10k MAU (monthly active users). Using localytics over flurry has made a huge difference on the product I'm on, we have been able to make much better decisions based on data.
Like for websites we have Alexa.com which show site analytics of the site and its rankings, etc.
Is there something similar for iPhone Apps?
Basically I want to know how successful an App is. I know we can guage it by seeing number of user reviews but at times there are not enough reviews and it becomes difficult to guage the success of that app.
We use appannie.com for our tracking... it's quite good.
All the datas are on your iTunesConnect account. However those datas are not always very clear. If you want nice charts, aggregation of reviews and rankings and several other stats about your applications, there are a lot of softwares that aggregates those datas.
I am using Prismo for instance, but there are several other applications that do the same thing (even web apps).
Localytics is good..
I have two problems with google's mobile analytics: (I am using the native version - not web)
I see pagevies but I don't see my events. This might be since you can't configure the GA website to a native mobile app traching.
The app isn't launch yet, I am the only one using it and GA reports 14 unique visitors - ha?!
Not exactly sure what you are asking, but can't really help without seeing code regardless
More than likely the GA cookie is being removed or not being set on your phone, or your IP address is changing or both.
HI all,
so we all know "pinch media" - the "spyware" software ;)
i'm searching for some really cool analytics softwares for my iphone application.
pinch media, is the one i know, it looks really great, but we all know, the reputation of this piece of software is very bad.
i'd like to know if i can use it, or if my app then is one of this spyware apps, for users (it isnt really, i know, but users might think it is, when i use this).
are there some alternatives? other programms, with the same good analysis?
I found admob and motally.com, but pinch media/Flurry is the best one atm.
Here is a good pdf that compares some of the main iPhone/iPod touch analytics providers
Try Google Analytics
Any analytics package which reports usage statistics back to a central server (Flurry, Google Analytics, etc.) will be considered "spyware" by some users, not just Pinch Media's offering. The really paranoid users will sniff data traffic out of your application and detect traffic from any service, no matter who provides it.
If you really care about those users who will be upset by this, give them the option to opt-out of data collection in your application's settings or when the application first starts.
If you are looking for more inside on your app, you should try heatma.ps. They let you view heatmaps for your app, and other interaction data.
Example heatmap:
I suggest you to take a look at Appsee
Appsee provides visual in-app analytics, including heatmaps, real user recording and user bahavior reprots. And you can create a free account there.
Flurry, Google Analytics, etc are central server to store the user's data.
If you want to build your private data center. you can visit this url
http://www.github.com/cobub
And the web site is: http://dev.cobub.com
to get the open source system (both server and client sides)
There are two kinds of analytics: business analytics and app performance analytics. Google Analtyics, Flurry etc are good for business analytics but app developers are mostly interested in knowing when app crashes, being able to capture app logs, impact of network speeds and carriers on performance of their apps. For app performance analytics, take a look at http://apigee.com/about/mobile-analytics . You not only get real time performance anlaytics but also ability to do some configuration changes in real time.
