This may be a good place to ask this: Does anyone have experience using Flurry Analytics and Google Mobile App Analytics in production? We're comparing the two, and would love to get opinion from people, who have used them in production, about the not-so-obvious pros and cons.

We used Flurry last summer, but ended up switching to Localytics who we've been very happy with. The main reason was real-time data (which was really important to us since Flurry was lagging by several days). The nicer UX and faster customer support are big pluses as well.

Happy Flurry user since '11. Not all reports need to be realtime, in fact most don't. Their event tracking is solid and the reports are great for getting info at a glance. Doesn't hurt to use multiple, but I've always been content with Flurry's suite.

There's no comparison, from my experience, Flurry is a lot better and more useful. But, I'm not a google analytics guru so its possible google is better if you know how to use it.

That said for the newbie, Flurry was much better.

I've been using Flurry for the past year and thinking of switching. I don't like the way Flurry presents data on their platform and the website is really slow.

We're using Flurry and I find their site really slow too and the graphs are a bit ordinary. Would much rather get live info.

Flurry's definitely way better than GA for getting set up in spite of all the issues you'll run into at scale. Please give us a call once you hit that though.

I've used the iOS SDK for both in beta deployed apps, and prefer Flurry due to their more flexible custom events. With Google, a custom event has four fields (string, string, string, number), limiting how much you can capture for an event. Flurry allows up to ten, with data types of your choosing.

We just removed Flurry because Crashlytics' Answers is way too awesome.

Ditch both, use mixpanel.

GA and Flurry are to hit counters as Mixpanel is to GA/Flurry.
