ReleaseCat App Metrics

App Metrics lets you understand how popular individual features of your app, website, or — more broadly — your product really are.

If you search online, you'll often see app metrics used to describe high-level product KPIs like downloads, installs, or active users. These numbers are provided by iOS and Android app stores, as well as tools like Google Analytics. They're great for measuring overall traction and user activity. But releasecat App Metrics is about something else entirely.

Releasecat doesn't measure your app as a whole—it measures how individual features are actually used.

For example:

  • You've just shipped a new feature and want to know if anyone is actually using it.
  • You want to see whether users prefer dark mode or light mode.
  • You'd like to check how often users create new documents in your app.
  • You're curious how frequently the ruler tool is used (assuming your app even has one emote).
  • Or maybe you want to find out how users trigger money transfers—through the main menu or via a desktop shortcut?

These are exactly the kinds of questions Releasecat App Metrics are designed to answer.

In short, App Metrics help you measure how often selected features of your product are used. You decide which features to track by defining their metrics directly in the releasecat panel.

Once you pass the metric identifier to your development team and implement tracking in the app, the data starts flowing into releasecat.

You can add or remove metrics at any point during your product's lifecycle—nothing is set in stone.

Over time, you'll build a clear table showing the relative popularity of individual features.

And that's not all. As new versions roll out, you'll be able to track how feature usage evolves over time, giving you real insight into what's gaining traction and what's quietly fading away.
