View the percentage of users who continue engaging with an app 30 days after their initial engagement.
The retention rate for a mobile app shows product, marketing, insights, and strategy teams the percentage of users who found enough value to return and re-engage with the app 30 days after the app was first opened. In most cases, a higher retention rate reflects a high level of product stickiness, a better user experience, a higher perceived user value, and potentially higher levels of monetization. If too many users drop off before they perform a critical in-app event, your app might not achieve its goals.
By understanding this drop-off, teams can more quickly determine the root cause of churn and begin to implement fixes that mitigate this churn. Understanding retention rate is critical for any successful app, as it is far more beneficial (and cost-effective) to retain users than it is to obtain new users.
