Google Play Store to Data Studio (ex Looker Studio): FAQ

Answers to common questions about connecting data to spreadsheets, dashboards, AI assistants, and reporting tools with Catchr.

How can I connect Google Play Console data to Looker Studio?

Set up Google Play Store reporting access in Catchr, select the app you want to analyze and create a data source with the Catchr Looker Studio connector. Start with installs by date, then add the device, country or app-version dimensions that help explain changes.

Which Google Play KPIs can I report on?

Catchr's catalog includes user and device installs, uninstalls, crashes, ANRs, ratings and subscription indicators. Build separate sections for acquisition, quality and monetization. A single download total cannot explain whether users keep the app or whether a release introduces reliability problems.

What is the difference between user installs and device installs?

They count different units: users and devices. A user can have more than one device, so the counts need not match. Catchr exposes these measures separately. Use one definition consistently across comparisons instead of mixing user-based totals with device-based rates.

Should I add current installs across daily rows?

No. A current-install measure describes an installed base, while daily installs describe activity during a day. Adding daily snapshots of the current base repeatedly counts the same installations. Use daily activity for acquisition trends and the relevant snapshot for the size of the installed base.

Why do Google Play acquisition and statistics reports disagree?

Google documents differences in how acquisition and statistics reports assign installs to dates and populations. For example, an acquisition view can connect a later install with an earlier store-listing visit. Match the report definition before comparing the same visible date range.

Can I investigate crashes after a new Android release?

Catchr exposes daily crash and ANR counts together with app-version and device information. Use these fields to look for concentrations around a release or device group. Compare the counts with the size of the affected population; a popular version can have more crashes simply because more people use it.

Can I compare Google Play with App Store Connect?

Yes. Add App Store Connect to create an Android and iOS overview. Keep platform labels and align the meaning of each metric. Google Play installs and Apple's app units use different definitions, so present them as separate platform measures unless you have explicitly standardized the comparison.
