5 Awesome Analytics Apps

Metrics no longer confine Internet professionals to their desks, because mobile analytics apps make it possible to measure performance metrics (and success) around the clock and on the go. 

In fact, even a quick glance at one's smartphone is enough to see if running an advertisement or posting on Facebook directly influences the behavior of website visitors. Keep up with your enterprise's performance metrics, even when away from your desktop, by checking out five awesome apps for analytics awareness below:


Google Analytics - Android

Google's popular analytic service is available for free on Android devices. The app can be used to measure real-time data, such as active visitors and top active pages. Plus, the app provides dashboards for metrics like unique visitors and conversion rates.
