Cohort Report for User Retention Insights

Analyze retention trends by cohorts in Apptrove using unified, acquisition, or retargeting views. Measure installs, events, and revenue effectively.

Updated this week

Overview

The Cohort Report in Apptrove helps you analyze how user groups (cohorts) behave over time based on shared traits like campaign, partner, or location. It tracks installs, revenue, in-app events, and uninstalls across time intervals, allowing you to measure retention, engagement, and campaign performance effectively.

Report Layout

The Cohort Report table shows each cohort (like a partner or campaign) in a separate row, with columns displaying key metrics for each time period — Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, and beyond — making it easy to track performance over time.

Cohort View Types

Apptrove offers three Cohort View Types that determine how your data is aggregated and attributed.

View Type

Definition

Data Behavior

Unified

Combines performance from both user acquisition and retargeting campaigns. If an event belongs to both categories, only the retargeting event is counted (i.e., last-touch logic).

The report includes cost, installs, re-engagements, and revenue — based on the actual last-touch media source.

User Acquisition

Displays performance metrics from new installs only (excluding reinstalls unless explicitly enabled).

Use this view to analyze campaign performance and user quality for newly acquired users.

Retargeting

Focuses on users who return via re-engagement or re-attributioncampaigns.

Use this to understand post-install engagement and reactivation effectiveness.

Example Use Case

Let’s say you ran:

  • A new user acquisition campaign on Google Ads

  • A retargeting campaign on Meta

  • An organic push notification for existing users

Using Unified View, you can:

  • Compare performance of both acquisition and retargeting in one dataset

  • Track event activity by day (e.g., Day 1–Day 30)

  • Identify which campaigns generate higher ARPU and session counts
