Understanding Activation Rate
The Activation Rate is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures how effectively your application is being used after installation. It's calculated by dividing the number of activated applications by the total number of installations, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
Interpreting Results
- Excellent (≥ 70%): Your application has very high engagement and users are finding value in it quickly after installation
- Good (50-69%): Your application has good initial engagement, but there's room for improvement
- Fair (30-49%): Users are moderately engaging with your application, but many are not activating it
- Poor (10-29%): Your application has low initial engagement, indicating potential issues with user acquisition or value proposition
- Very Poor (≤ 10%): Your application has very low engagement, suggesting significant problems with user acquisition or value proposition
