Don't use Google Analytics. They still haven't release a version of the API for 64 bit binaries, which means that if you use Google Analytics you can't take take advantage of any of the 5s specific features and you lose out on plenty of performance improvements with 64 bits. Same goes for the new iPad hardware. Here is the bug report for this problem: https://code.google.com/p/analytics-issues/issues/detail?id=356Hugo--On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 4:03 PM, Adam Martin <adam.m.s.martin@gmail.com> wrote:
You might be the only person in the games industry who thinks that. We've been the very front wave of mobile analytics since iPhone launched, generally driving analytics usage ten times faster / harder than everyone else's apps.It's catnip to game designers and an enormous money-multiplier to publishers/finance departments. Its so heavily used that there have been multiple waves of backlashes within the industry of people crying out "please dont make me look at more analytics, cant we go back to making games by instinct, please?". Generally they dont last long because its a pretty foolish idea to throw out baby with bathwater - the real complaint is running your business pike King.com and other gambling companies, prioritzing money iver everything.So, yeah - analytics is pretty big in game development...--

>> Interesting topic. Never used any of those. One question I keep asking myself when reading this is what sort of information I need to dig out to help my business, really. Number of clicks on a button? user's workflow? why it is useful if my app doesn't involve multiple paths? Any thoughts?

Analytics help you see who is doing what, how often, or not doing something as often as you think/hope. They help you to determine what problems you are solving for your users and if you are creating problems. They allow you track the results of A/B testing (some apps behave differently based on random number, so marketing to review response to different behaviours.)
