Customize your charts

Step 1

Start at the gear.

Every chart setting is one tap from the numbers it changes.

1. Open My Apps. The App Store / Analytics switch sits right above your charts.
2. Tap the gear beside it.
3. With no app open you get the All Apps settings. With an app open you get that app's own.

Tip. Settings is also under your account button, in Charts > App Store and Charts > Analytics.

Step 2

Pick your charts.

Choose Charts lists every number your reports have. Tap one to show it, tap it again to hide it.

1. Under All Apps, tap Choose Charts.
2. Tap any chart to turn it on. Everything you turn on shows on My Apps and on every app's page.
3. App Store adds split cards too: downloads by source, by device and by country.

Step 3

Put them in order.

The chart at the top of Chart Order is the first thing you see every morning.

1. Tap Chart Order.
2. Drag a chart by its handle. The first one leads My Apps, and the rest follow under it as cards.
3. Every app's page uses the same order.

Step 4

Choose how each chart opens.

Every chart remembers its range, its comparison and its style, so it opens the way you read it.

1. Tap a chart's row under All Apps.
2. Use Also show to draw related numbers over it, like first-time downloads over all downloads.
3. Set Range, Compare With and Line or Bars. Analytics charts add Opens On (DAU, WAU or MAU) and Count Events From (App, Web or Both).

Tip. Any chart can still change in place. Settings decides how it opens.

Step 5

Follow your own events.

Your analytics knows what people do inside your app. Pick any event and see it every day, beside your App Store numbers.

1. Go to Settings > Analytics > Choose Charts > Custom events.
2. Under your app, tap Add Event. The events your app really sends pop up, most used first.
3. Pick one, then a measure: Count, Per person, or the Sum, Average, Median, Lowest or Highest of a number on it.
4. Want only some of them? Turn on Only when a property matches, like plan is pro.

Tip. On My Apps an event shows once at least two of your apps send it. On an app's own page it always shows.

Step 6

Break an event down.

See where an event comes from: signups by source, purchases by plan, sessions by campaign. Top values first.

1. Go to Choose Charts > Breakdowns and tap Add Breakdown.
2. Pick the event, then one or more of the properties it carries, each shown with values it has sent. Select All splits it every way at once.
3. Tap Add Breakdown. Each property gets its own card, ranking the top values over the last 30 days.

Step 7

Give one app its own view.

Every app follows All Apps until you say otherwise. One switch gives an app its own charts, order and counting.

1. Tap the gear on the app's page, or tap the app under Each app.
2. Turn on Custom Settings. The app starts from a copy of All Apps.
3. Change anything below it. Turn it off any time to follow All Apps again.

Step 8

Count downloads your way.

All downloads, first-time only or redownloads only, and total or unique impressions. Conversion follows what you pick.

1. For every app: Settings > App Store > Counting.
2. For one app: turn on its Custom Settings and set its own Counting.

Step 9

Several apps, one project.

When one PostHog project collects events from more than one app, each app keeps to its own.

1. Open the app under Settings > Analytics > Each app.
2. Under This app's events, tap Use Bundle ID. PostHog's iOS and Android SDKs tag every event with it.
3. Or enter any property and this app's value for it.

Tip. An app with a project of its own needs nothing here.

Step 10

Ask your AI.

Every chart settings page ends with Need Help? Copy for AI gives your AI how it all works and your setup, with the real events and properties your apps send, so the answer is taps you can follow.

1. Scroll to Need Help? at the bottom of any chart settings page.
2. Tap Copy for AI.
3. Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or any AI chat and say what you want to see.
