Engagement Metrics in Activity Report

Understanding Engagement Metrics

At a Glance:

The Engagement Activity Report helps you measure how actively users interact with your app after installation.

Along with installs, events, uninstalls, and revenue, the report now includes advanced engagement indicators that help evaluate user retention and app stickiness.

Understanding Engagement Metrics

DAU (Daily Active Users)

Average DAU represents the average number of unique users actively using your app each day during the selected reporting period.

This helps you understand daily user engagement trends.

A higher DAU generally indicates:

  • Better retention

  • Higher app usage frequency

  • Stronger recurring engagement

MAU (Monthly Active Users)

Average MAU represents the average number of unique users who interacted with your app during the month.

This metric provides a broader view of overall active user reach.

It helps answer:

  • How many users return to the app over time

  • How large is your active user base

Average DAU / MAU Rate

This metric shows the ratio between Daily Active Users (DAU) and Monthly Active Users (MAU).

It helps measure how frequently your monthly users return to your app.

What it indicates

  • Higher percentage → Users engage more frequently

  • Lower percentage → Users are less active over time

Example

If:

  • Avg DAU = 9

  • Avg MAU = 12

Then:

DAU / MAU = 75%

This means 75% of your monthly users are active daily, indicating strong engagement.

Conversion Rate

Conversion Rate shows the percentage of users who completed the desired engagement action.

This helps evaluate how effectively your campaigns are driving meaningful post-install actions.

A higher conversion rate indicates:

  • Better campaign quality

  • More relevant user acquisition

  • Stronger post-install engagement

Why These Metrics Matter

These engagement indicators help you:

  • Measure user stickiness

  • Evaluate long-term retention

  • Compare partner quality

  • Identify highly engaged traffic sources

  • Optimize campaigns based on engagement quality, not just installs
