Improve mobile user experience

Dynatrace is here to help you with integrated monitoring of both your mobile apps and your backend services. Dynatrace makes it easy to find the root cause of a problem within minutes, enabling you to proactively avoid negative reviews of your app!

Get to know your user base: Have a high percentage of returning users?

Dynatrace iOS app analytics monitor and track:

  • Users / sessions
  • New users
  • App version distribution
  • Geographic regions

Monitor your app's performance

When it comes to mobile user experience, performance is key. You need to understand the level of performance that your customers perceive—whether they’re using an Android device or the latest iPhone. Dynatrace shows you:

  • Top HTTP requests
  • Number of HTTP requests
  • Error rate
  • HTTP requests size
  • Request time

Poor HTTP performance can be an indication of an inefficient communication strategy. It can be a challenge to find the right balance between too many HTTP requests and payloads that are too large—both lead to poor user experience. High HTTP error rates are often the result of backend infrastructure issues. Dynatrace helps you identify such bottlenecks.

Understand how and why iOS app crashes occur

With the ever-expanding number of potential device-type, language-resource, and device-resolution combinations, it’s impossible to test your iOS app under all scenarios. Crashes are practically unavoidable.

Dynatrace crash occurrence statistics show you the platforms and other criteria under which your iOS app crashes most frequently. Crash occurrence statistics are often a great early indicator of the root causes of issues.

Mobile crash reports enable you to filter crash results based on app version. Crash reports even provide downloadable stack traces that pinpoint the causes of crashes. Percentages of happy, crash-free unique users are also listed. Dynatrace provides insights for:

  • Crashes
  • Affected users
  • Percentage of crash-free users
  • Crashes per minutes
  • Crash reports
