Analytics and the error log

How often your app is opened, and how you notice when something breaks.

Two questions, two screens

Analytics: "is it being used?"
  • Total views + a last-30-days chart
  • Aggregate counts only — no visitor tracking
  • No cookies, no personal data
Error log: "did it break?"
  • Captured errors from your live app
  • A short message + which screen
  • If there are no errors, the section doesn't appear

You spotted an error — now what?

  1. 1
    Read the message

    It names the screen; that alone usually tells you what happened.

  2. 2
    Reproduce it

    Do the same step on the same screen — does it actually happen?

  3. 3
    Tell the builder

    Copy the error text and say "this error appears, please fix it".

  4. 4
    Clear the log

    After fixing, clear the log so a new error stands out immediately.

Key takeaways

  • Analytics is privacy-first: aggregate counts only.
  • The error log only appears when there is a problem.
  • Handing the error text to the builder is the fastest fix.
