Introduction
The Activity Report displays the app activity KPIs that occurred during a selected date range. In the Activity Report there is no dependency between the different KPIs being looked at, but purely the events that took place during the selected time frame.
The report is divided into two tabs:

The KPI information is for organic and non-organic traffic together.
Activity Metric Descriptions
- DAU
- (Daily Active Users) counts the unique users who performed an app session on a particular day, additional sessions performed on that day are not counted. When calculating the DAU value for a date range (i.e. for more than a single day) - the average value is displayed.
Example
Sunday - 10 daily active users, Mon - 12 daily active users, Tue - 8 daily active users, Avg DAU Sunday to Tue is (10 + 12 + 8) / 3 = an average of 10 daily active users.
- MAU
- (Monthly Active Users) - There are two types of MAU calculation. On the Detailed tab in the dashboard, the MAU calculation is as follows: Every day we count the distinct number of users from the previous 30 days. On the High Level tab, we count the distinct number of users based on a specific calendar month.
- DAU/MAU Rate
- (Stickiness) a snapshot of retention. This KPI presents a view of the rate of your returning users. DAU/MAU rate of 50% would mean that the average user of your app is using it 15 out of 30 days that month.
- Revenue
- Total revenue for the selected date range - combined calculation of In-App Purchases (if reported by the application) and Ad Monetization revenue.
Note
Ad Monetization data is calculated once a day, so the monetization data for the current day is available to view the following day.
- ARPDAU
- Average Revenue Per Daily Active User:
Activity Revenue / (Average DAU * Number of queried days) - Sessions
- Total sessions for the selected date range (if reported by the application).
- Installs
- The number of installs within the selected date range.
- Activity Trend
- Displayed in graphical form. The default presentation shows DAU but you can also select MAU, DAU/MAU Rate, Revenue or Sessions.
Notes
Data Freshness: The data is aggregated on a daily basis. For users in time zone UTC - (minus) it may take up to 48 hours and for users in time zone UTC + (plus) it may take up to 24 hours for the report to be populated with data.
Date range: Activity data is available from the first date of app definition on AppsFlyer. However, the maximum displayed date range for the activity report is two months. When selecting a wider date range the range is automatically narrowed down to two months and the following message is displayed:

Activity Trends
A trend chart displaying your most important metrics.
There are six Activity Metrics to select:
- DAU
- MAU
- Revenue
- ARPDAU
- Sessions
- DAU/MAU rate
For a detailed explanation of each Activity Metric, click here.
Note
MAU data is supported for UTC only.
The DAU/MAU rate is a ‘quality’ KPI. It indicates how many users have returned on a daily basis over the past month. You can also look at it as a ‘snapshot’ of retention.
Activity Summary
In the Activity Summary table you can see ALL data grouped by and filtered according to your selection.
Click In-App Events to see the activity data for them. For each option, Summary or In-App Events, select the KPIs you want to view from the list.
Note
The available dimensions prior to 1 March 2017 are limited to GEO and Data only.
Tip
The table is also a good way to see how many of your DAU are new and how many are existing users (DAU minus Installs).
High Level
A ‘bird’s eye view’ into the app and the success of marketing efforts. It’s an annual look back using a monthly time granularity.
High Level is made up of two separate charts:
Active Users and Revenue
This graph displays the monthly active users and revenue for each month.
Monthly Gross Profit
This graph displays revenue vs. cost and the gross profit for each month.
Note
For High Level, data is available from 1 July 2017 only.
