Many top apps do seem to use Google analytics too, so I think it's still a fairly big deal. kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Is it possible to know how users found your app.
I am just starting out as an app developer and looking into possible marketing options. I may try experimenting with a few different ideas - but I am wondering if I will be able to tell how each idea is working. One key issue is knowing if people are downloading the app because an existing user recommended it, or whether they were independently searching for that kind of app. Is that possible? Also, is it possible to know what keywords people were typing in when trying to find your app? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
