Ahoy! Discover your most loyal crew with our new Retention Dashboard 🦜
The third sail is raised! Our new Retention Dashboard reveals your most loyal users – those faithful crew members who've made your app part of their daily voyage and keep coming back for more.
Understanding which users truly stick around shouldn't require complex analysis. The real value lies in those who stay, engage, and become part of your app's story.
The third "R" in "AARRR" anchors your growth
Acquisition brings users to your app, Activation shows them the value, but retention? That's where sustainable growth lives. It's the difference between one-time visitors and committed users who choose to make your app part of their regular routine.
The AARRR framework puts retention third because it's where the magic happens. Users who return regularly become your strongest advocates and drive the organic growth that creates sustainable businesses.
Our Retention Dashboard reveals the loyalty patterns and engagement rhythms that turn your app from a one-time download into an essential part of someone's life.
Your compass to user loyalty
Returning user growth trends
Our dashboard tracks daily, weekly, and monthly patterns that reveal whether users are building lasting relationships with your app. Watch for steady upward trends (loyalty building!) or consistent levels that show solid engagement. The hourly view helps you spot immediate impacts from retention initiatives.
Retention time patterns
Here's what we discovered: loyal users don't just randomly engage. There are specific patterns to when your most committed users choose to return and spend time with your app.
Our dashboard shows exactly when your faithful crew is most active – revealing whether your app fits into work routines, leisure time, or focused moments. Choose your default settings accordingly and time notifications to when your crew is most engaged.
Device, platform & geographic loyalty
iPhone users showing stronger engagement than Android? Certain regions developing deeper loyalty? These insights guide where to invest in building lasting user relationships.
Actionable loyalty insights, not vanity metrics
Every chart answers questions that directly impact your sustainable growth:
- When should you communicate with your most loyal users?
- Which user segments provide the highest lifetime value?
- Are your retention strategies actually working?
Focus your time on the users and patterns that drive real, lasting growth.
Your loyal crew was here all along
The beautiful part: If you've updated to SDK 2.8.0+ (Swift), 6.0.0+ (Kotlin), or 2.3.0+ (Flutter) since April, your retention insights are already waiting in your dashboard.
No additional code. No complex setup. No learning new analytics concepts. TelemetryDeck has been automatically collecting this loyalty data since April 2025 – just navigate to your dashboard to discover it.
How we identify returning users: Those who've used your app for more than 5 sessions. It's that sweet spot where curiosity has started transforming into habit.
The complete AARRR voyage
The Retention Dashboard completes our core Pirate Metrics trilogy, joining Acquisition and Activation dashboards.
Each follows our philosophy: sophisticated analytics made simple, with automatic data collection working behind the scenes.
