I didn't know this did not exist. Seems like pretty late to release an iOS app for one of their core businesses.

1) GA is arguably not 1 of their core businesses.

2) Most people do deep analysis with GA and it's hard to do that with a mobile app. So it's not critical to release one so fast.

Looks like a faster and much more pleasant way to get a quick overview compared to its web counterpart. The same goes for Google's iOS app for AdSense[1], which is pretty similar UI-wise. [1] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-adsense/id680739529?m...

I developed AdSense for iPhone, so your comment made my day. I'm glad you find it useful.

i use it every day. nice work.

Somewhat frustrating that searching for "Google Analytics" on the iOS store doesn't return this app until #13.

Like any search engine, it takes time to index and sort results based on user interest. It's likely that Apple doesn't simply "rank" officials apps higher simply because they're official. I just checked and it was in position #4 for me.

I don't think they even have a concept of an official app, unless someone's figuring it out and entering it manually; it's certainly not a declaration you make on submission.

Anyone having trouble logging in? Just says "There was an error while trying to retrieve Google Analytics accounts for..." I don't know if it's because I have 2FA on, but it found my account I'm guessing shared via keychain from the Gmail app.

Edit: 15+ minutes later. I deleted all accounts from my phone, tried to sign in again via the app. Looked through everything online for any permission or anything. Still stuck.

I'm having the same problem. Initially it would go to my Account Overview and just show a blank page, but after logging out and logging back in again, I'm getting the error that it can't retrieve my accounts :(

Yup, same issues here.
