Google Introduces Analytics For Cast App Developers
Google has introduced a new way for developers of apps that have Google Cast to better understand how people are interacting with their apps. Developers will now be able to get analytical information directly from the Google Cast Developer Console.
They will now be able to find out how many devices access their application, how many sessions those devices initiate, how long the average length of use is, and more.
The analytics page contains a tab for each metric, an interactive graph of the metric’s values over time, and tables containing the most recent day’s data. The devices tab shows the number of Cast devices that have launched your application, the sessions tab shows the number of Cast sessions of your application, and the average playback tab shows the average length of media playback time per session for your *application.
Each tab’s data can be viewed in total, by country, or by sender platform. To see data for a particular country or platform, simply click the appropriate row in the table. Each tab’s data is available on a per-day basis, as well as in seven, fourteen, and twenty-eight day rolling totals. To change the aggregation range, select the desired range from the range picker at the top right.
This will be very useful for developers. The new Google Cast analytics will allow developers to know how their app is used and what they can do to improver their app for their users.
