Mapp Intelligence: Android SDK – Crash Tracking

04 Aug 2020 Crash Tracking with Android SDK v5 enables you to improve the quality of your app and the user experience. Let's face it: Mobile apps should make your app users' lives easier, let them handle everyday problems in no time and strengthen customer loyalty. Crashes can cause users to uninstall the app which results in dissatisfaction or less revenue. According to a survey by Dimensional Research*, 80% said they would try to use a problematic mobile app for at the most 3 times. More than 50% would uninstall an app that crashes or even freezes. The crash tracking functionality allows you to connect the impact of app crashes to other events, improve stability and ensure user satisfaction.

Key Benefits

• Detect app crashes: Find out when your mobile application crashes.

• Identify the source of error: Fix issues more quickly and spend more time on optimization.

• Retain app users: Check if the crashes are connected to uninstalls.

4. Feel free to choose one, all or only some of the described types.

Notes

1. If crash tracking is enabled, the SDK detects the corresponding crashes and sends available information to Intelligence.
2. The request is an event request with name of event = webtrekk_ignore  (ct=webtrekk_ignore).
3. No info is tracked if the user opted out of tracking.
