Mobile store vitals and reviews

The stores measure every install, including the phones you don't own. Their numbers are coarse (players per day, by version) but they decide visibility: Google Play lowers a game's reach when it crosses its bad-behavior thresholds. Read them per version, next to your own measurements.

Google Play: Android vitals

In Play Console, Monitor and improve → Android vitals (or the Play Developer Reporting API):

• Slow rendering: the share of users whose frames ran slower than 20 fps and 30 fps.
• Crash rate and ANR rate (the app not responding for 5 seconds): Google's bad-behavior thresholds are about 1.09% user-perceived crashes and 0.47% user-perceived ANRs overall, and 8% on any single device model.
• By device and GPU: which models and GPU families are worst. One GPU family at the top is usually a shader or driver problem, not your game logic.
• The pre-launch report runs your build on Firebase Test Lab phones. Keep those sessions out of your own player numbers.
