Heap launched a couple months ago with a new approach to user analytics: just capture everything. It lets businesses conduct event-based analytics without having to ship code or wait for data to trickle in.
Now we’re ready to bring Heap to native iOS apps.
Mobile analytics for iPhone and iPad can be particularly egregious. If you haven’t explicitly tagged the “invite friend” event, for instance, but you need to analyze what type of users most often invite their friends, then you’re forced to:
