Analytics
Read impressions, clicks and installs.
Applies to Appylar v1.0
Analytics show what your campaigns are doing — impressions, clicks, installs and CTR — broken down by app, campaign or day. All numbers come from real events reported by the SDK. This page explains each metric and how to read the breakdowns.
#Metrics
| Metric | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Impressions | Times your creative was shown |
| Clicks | Times a user tapped your creative |
| Installs | Attributed installs of the promoted app |
| CTR | Clicks ÷ impressions |
CTR is derived, not stored: it's clicks / impressions, rounded to four decimals, and 0 when there are no impressions. In the portal it's shown as a percentage.
#Breakdowns
The same metrics are available across four dimensions:
| Dimension | Rows |
|---|---|
| Overview | A single total across everything |
| Per app | One row per app |
| Per campaign | One row per campaign |
| Per day | One row per day in the range |
#Date filters
Filter by Today, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom range. The default range is the last 30 days.

#Interpreting the numbers
- No data yet? Numbers only appear once a campaign is serving. That requires an approved creative, an active campaign, and — for network reach — credits. A brand-new campaign shows zeros until it serves.
- CTR is a signal of creative relevance. A very low CTR usually means the creative isn't compelling or isn't well matched; try a different image.
- Installs vs clicks. Not every click installs — the gap reflects store-page drop-off. Compare installs to clicks to gauge how well the promoted app's store listing converts.
- Per-day is best for spotting trends and the effect of activating or pausing a campaign. Per-campaign and per-app are best for comparing what's working.
Appylar analytics are not real-time. Figures reflect processed event rollups, so very recent activity may take a short while to appear.
