Convenient 1x1 widget from Basic Metrics report
Released: 19/09/2023
Devtodev users are familiar with the 1x1 widget — a small module on your dashboard containing a single number designed to keep you informed about important metrics.

Released: 07/03/2023
Analyzing FTUE using devtodev funnels is as easy as it can be!

If you are curious about the number of users who achieve the ultimate goal during the first or the Nth session (first two, three, etc.), you can easily calculate them, build a segment and then analyze thoroughly. Simply click on ‘Conversion time limit’, set a sequential number of the session and build a funnel.
Now you can also rename funnel steps!

SDK Update: full complience with COPPA
Released: 16/02/2023
If you have a child-directed app or game, you may worry that the data you send to devtodev is anonymised and protected enough. It’s not a problem anymore with our updated SDK because it operates in full compliance with COPPA — the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
This updated version of devtodev SDK does not collect, process or store ad IDs of children. It simply creates anonymised user identification numbers that can be used by the platform for tracking underaged users without influencing the decisions they make.
If you already use devtodev SDK, all you need to do is to enable the COPPA-compliance opinion before SDK initialization and delete the dependencies necessary for processing ad and vendor IDs. This will not interfere with your working process because almost all devtodev reports will stay available and you will be able to use them as you did before.
Read more about it in our documentation: iOS, Android, and Unity
New metric in A/B tests: CARPU
Released: 14/02/2023
We’ve added 1, 7, 14 and 30-day Cumulative ARPU to the A/B tests. You can use these metrics to improve the quality of the analysis and prove that the implemented changes did not influence other key metrics of the app.
User Flow: more session analysis options
Released: 17/01/2023
Drill down into your user flow data by setting a limit on the number of user sessions! This option comes in handy in case you want to take a closer look at what your users managed to achieve during, let’s say, their first session, and compare it with your expectations.
There are three options in this report - “No”, “Limit by first session”, and “Limit by number of sessions”. If you want to see events that users completed during their first session, choose the second option. If you want to see data for several sessions, choose the third option. In this case, the calculation is as follows: we take the specified number of sessions performed during the selected period, then we take the dates of the first and the last sessions, and after that we analyze the events performed during this period.
