Usage tracking

Tracking how your users use an app can be enlightening. For example, I was surprised that people look at the About screen about as much as Help - and that few people do either, about 1 in 7.

I've been experimenting with Google's AppEngine to store anonymous information like page views, clicks, and scores. It turns out to be cumbersome to export data with AppEngine and with over a million score records I've exceeded the free quota. I'm now looking into using Google Analytics iOS SDK. It's very easy to integrate into an app and provides lots of reporting functionality.
