Mobile app users expect continuous availability, functionality and a frictionless experience. Anything less and they won’t hesitate to abandon your app and download something better. With so much at stake, mobile app development teams struggle to keep up using a hodgepodge of disparate analysis and performance monitoring tools to manage mobile app performance.  

IBM® Instana® Observability gives you the complete, end-to-end visibility into your mobile application performance picture of how your mobile app is performing in real time and from a single platform. This Application performance monitoring (APM) includes deep full-stack visibility into application call paths, detailed insights into how end-users are interacting with the app across mobile devices and what sort of issues they are experiencing. The solution allows you to monitor mobile applications implemented in iOS, Android, Flutter or React Native.

Mobile app churn, by the numbers 71%

Users who churn within the first 90 days of downloading an app1

50.6%  

Users who will uninstall an app if it takes up too much memory1

62%

Users who will uninstall an app if it the app crashes, freezes or has other major errors1

Benefits Identify the root cause of performance issues faster

By connecting a mobile app request at the front end with backend traces generated by each interaction, troubleshooting performance issues can be faster and more efficient.​

Gain deeper insights to inform installation optimizations  

Get real usage data on mobile app adoption, quickly identify where you should focus optimization efforts (most used device/browser/operating systems) and which versions to deprecate.

Increase user engagement by quickly resolving issues

Quickly identify bottlenecks with full context to detect and resolve issues faster, improve the mobile app's user experience and enhance the end-user experience.
