Google Analytics on your Mobile Phone

With recent launch of the Google Analytics Data Export API, Google Analytics data is starting to show up in some new places. We have already seen this kind of service from tracking systems like TraceWorks. But know Google Analytics will also show up on your mobile phone.

In the past it was challenging to keep up with your performance data while on the go. Using the new API, a number of developers have created mobile solutions to tackle this challenge. Note, it still takes our system some time to process your data, so if you’re checking today’s data, proceed with caution.

Here are some examples of mobile applications already using this API:

For the Android OS:

Mobile GA from Actual Metrics (This app is great since it allows you to quickly identify what metrics are changing on your site)

Google’s Nick Mihailovski (Google Analytics API Team) reached out to Mike and Kirk from Actual Metrics to get a sense of how difficult this application was to build. “The GA API was very easy to use, Mike mentioned, “it is extremely flexible and allows us to get the data we want. What may require multiple calls in other product APIs can be done with just one with the GA API, allowing for higher product performance. ”

For the iPhone:

Analytics App is great for accessing all your GA Data. The Google Analytics for iPhone app also has some great reporting. Finally, Ego App allows you to consolidate reporting from different services, such as FeedBurner and Twitter, all in one simple dashboard.
