Nice post. I will try only the cheapest one 😛
Nice to see that developers build iphone apps for webmaster. However, i dont see any market for this kind of apps, simply because this market is so small and most of webmasters prefer to use web based apps such as Google analytics and Google webmaster.
useful info for me to use …
Great article….but i think…Analytics App would be the best….
I’ve been fishing around for the right analytics package to work for me on the go. I LOVE Woopra, but I don’t have an iPhone 4g so their app doesn’t work for me. I’ve tried clicky and liked it, but got cut off the free trial because my sites had too much traffic. GoogleAnalytics just doesn’t do it for me, but I keep using it because there are apps that check it on the go.
Anyone else know of any free “package” alternatives to Google?
Nice post i know abut 2 of them in the list you mentioned, Glad that you shared rest of them will try them once and let you know.
This is a great share collection. Usually, I login to Google Analytics even if I’m mobile. I’m gonna try these apps tonight. Thanks mate.
I’m constantly on Analytics on my desktop PC and find the drill-down aspect of the Google site pretty much indespensable. Being able to take apart my sites and see exactly where the traffic is coming from, time of day when I get peak traffic, what keywords they show up for and all the minutae that help me decide how to move my sites forward are all very very important to me. These apps however don’t give me all of these. I’ll have one of these on my iPhone for a “Global” snapshot of each of my sites, but as the name of number 4 says: Ego, that’s all there is to the app.
