When we start the console, the first thing we see is a basic overview of all the apps we've deployed or have in beta: In this dashboard, you can see a list of the apps/games you've created, as well as details like as the number of installs, rating, date of update, and status (which can be draft, ready to publish, pending publication, published, rejected or suspended). We may view the performance of the major KPIs by clicking on an app: These observations may be expanded upon in the full study. At first glance, we can see the number of installations per user, as well as the number of uninstalls, the average rating, and the Crashes & ANRs (Apps Not Responding). The new analysis on app size is another component of the new insights released at Google I/O. Google is focused on this element to assist you in keeping your application optimized at all times by displaying its size and development over time.2.

Moving on, there's a lot of information to investigate in the statistics part of Google Console Play. We'll attempt to distill it down to the key elements that we may examine while designing a report:- Users: We may filter the data by installations and uninstalls by user, so we can see how many times a unique user has installed or removed an app or game for the first time on one or more devices.
- Device: The console provides us with a wealth of information about the device:
- Installs on active devices are the number of Android devices that have been online in the previous 30 days with the app or game installed.
- Device-specific installations, uninstalls, and upgrades
- Install, uninstall, and update events, as well as the number of times an app has been installed, removed, or updated on a device (it includes reinstalls)
- Ratings. It is possible to split them by average rating (the average of all ratings received by this app) and the new cumulative average rating (which takes into account the most recent ratings)
- Quality: This section also includes vital information on crashes, ANRs, download size, and app size on device (at install time), all of which are important for ensuring an app's quality.
- Pre-registration allows us to check the number of pre-registered users, the total number of pre-registered users (which shows the number of pre-registered users at the end of each day), conversion to see how many of those pre-registered users actually installed the app, and cumulative conversions, which shows the total number of pre-registered users who installed the app within 14 days of its release.
