Verto Analytics Launches App Watch, Industry’s First Mobile App Audience Measurement Solution
New York City and Barcelona (Mobile World Congress) (PRWEB) February 23, 2016 -- Verto Analytics (http://vertoanalytics.com), the world’s first single-source, cross-device audience measurement solution provider, today announced the launch of Verto App Watch a mobile app audience measurement solution that offers in-depth mobile app behavioral data with actionable insights and real-time reporting. Verto Analytics measures the complex behavior of today’s multi-screen, increasingly mobile consumer and every device, app, screen, and platform they use throughout their day.
Verto App Watch provides hard measurement data for all mobile apps, whether from Google or small game publishers, across all key operating systems and devices. It arms app developers, digital publishers, gaming companies, and investors with actionable intelligence into mobile audience activity and visibility into competitors. Verto App Watch includes deep user-engagement metrics that go far beyond the mere downloads and simple demographics that other app monitoring services provide. App Watch metrics include time spent, session lengths, in-app monetization, demographics, retention, churn, in-app actions and funnel analyses. Verto also published the Verto App Report today, which contains data available via Verto App Watch. Download the full Verto App Report here.
“Download figures have been the primary means of measuring an app’s success to date, but they merely tell one small part of the story. Ongoing and actionable data on app and game adoption, loyalty and user engagement has become a business imperative. Insights into app usage and demographics on a daily and monthly basis are vital to the development of future apps and for those needing to make data-driven decisions on mobile audience acquisition and monetization. We created Verto App Watch to address this unmet market need and provide the most accurate dataset on the market today," said Hannu Verkasalo, CEO and founder, Verto Analytics.

• Average time spent on apps per user per day is two hours, 10 minutes (including device overlap);

• Over a third of all time spent on apps is spent on social media
• In terms of session length, Netflix and Hulu rank highest on mobile, followed by Social Gaming Network and King

Verto App Watch reports user-level data for mobile audiences on smartphones, tablets and e-readers. Available metrics include distribution and reach (downloads, unduplicated users), as well as user engagement metrics (sessions, time spent). Customers can generate a multitude of reports including retention, churn analysis, stickiness, funnel and clickstream analyses, and audience acquisition. Verto App Watch helps companies understand not only audience demographics, but also provides insight into what users actually do after the download, as well as competitive intelligence and benchmarks, market sizing and saturation, and market trends for optimal audience acquisition. Digital publishers, developers and brands can pinpoint answers to any question from “What’s the day in the life of my user?” to “Is my challenge in securing downloads or is it maximizing long-term retention?”
