1. Decreasing trend on installs
Although the biggest fall happened between January and March and have since recovered slightly, installs show an overall decreasing trend.
2. There has been a huge increase in cancellations
Not a single person that subscribed to our Premium program had cancelled until June 10th, 2020. Since then, 37.509 people have unsubscribed.
3. iOS accounts for more than 70% of new installs
Although it presents some variation, Apple's operating system accounts for more than 70% of all new installs, with Android taking the remaining 28,2%.
4. iOS accounts for +80% of daily active users
Similar to the new installs, iOS takes more than 80% of our daily active users, with Android taking almost all of what is left.
5. Most paying users are in the US
Most of the paying users are in the US, followed by Japan and Great Britain.
6. During June, we are losing paying users daily
As the graph shows, we are currently loosing paying users. This comes from adding new and renewed subscriptions and substracting the cancelled ones.
7. The number of renewed subscriptions is falling
The purple line of the graph shows us a worrying tendency in terms of user loyalty, as renewed subscriptions shows a clear decreasing trend.
8. Almost all our installs are due to organic traffic
As we see in the graph, almost all of our installs come through organic channels, followed by Instagram Installs and Apple Search Ads.
1. Installs
This needs to be the first metric to check, as we cannot earn the loyalty of users who do not install our app and, therefore, no profit can be made from it. That is why it has to be our North Star.
2. Daily active users
Focusing on this metric will allow us to be focused on how loyal our users are and, since it is highly correlated with trials and subscriptions started and subscription renewal, will give us a hint on our financial KPIs.
* With this graph we see the correlation between all three KPIs
3. Churn rate
I add this metric because of the potential impact it can have in a company. Although we had a 0% churn rate throughout most of the time covered by our data, there has been a sudden increase that can lead to serious trouble if it goes unnoticed.
* With this graph we see the huge increase in churn
1. Figure out the reason for the cancellations
Cancellations can be due to many reasons, but the fact that there was not a single cancellation for almost six months and a sudden increase during the last 20 days makes me think that it can be due to an unhandled app error that is driving users away. Dealing with it should be our TOP priority.
2. Rethink our marketing strategy
Our marketing and advertising strategy is proving to be unneffective, since organic traffic accounts for almost all our new installs. Therefore, we should analyze two things:
In which channels our target audience is and focus our efforts towards the most important ones.
-
The strengths and weaknesses of our ASO and SEO strategies to keep developing them.
-
3. Drop marginal operating systems
As our data shows, iOS and Android bring almost every user we have. We should therefore drop the other operating systems because they take time and resources to develop and bring almost no reward.
4. Follow consistent data architecture criteria
The inconsistency in, for example, the way our data is named, generates confusion that leads to higher processing time, delaying decision making.
