What are the analytics capabilities of the iOS app store for app developers?

The analytics capabilities of the iOS app store are pretty limited. And the way the stats are presented is not helping. If what you want are better way to get this information, then you can try tools like App Annie, AppFigures, Mopapp or Distimo Analytics. We actually compared these four in a blog post that you can find here: http://www.apptamin.com/blog/download-tracking-tools/ For in-app analytics and learning how people use your app, there are many solutions too. Too many to be listed here but once again we talked about some of them here: http://www.apptamin.com/blog/app-analytics-tools/. This topic on Quora also has some interesting views, mostly given by the people making those tools: Now..What you're talking about seems to be more about knowing where your conversions from visitors to users come from. For that, you could try TapStream (https://tapstream.com/), http://yoz.io or Distimo App Links. These should let you know which channels work best for your app user acquisition. What Google is doing with their in-app analytics tool (see link above) is pretty interesting as it seems that you can actually track who visits your Google Play page, downloads and use your app (and how). But this is for Android, and not likely to happen anytime soon for Apple.

Appreciate all the responses here but there emerges a clear leader in the app Attribution Analytics space and encourage you to check out the http://theKochavaDifference.com
