Application analytics

Application analytics is the new practice of remotely observing the usage of software applications (software programs) together with information from the end user's computer, like screen resolution, operating system version and language, country, etc.

With application analytics (also called run-time analytics, application statistics) developers of software programs can understand the most needed features, observe the conversion rates of free users to paying customers, remotely log crash reports, and much more.

How SoftMeter works

SoftMeter is a small application analytics library for Windows and MacOS, that links together two great software systems:

  1. the free Google Analytics platform, and
  2. your software product.

How does SoftMeter work?

You are probably already using website statistics to see how many visitors you have on your website and how they use your website.
