Use Cases

Why add Analytics to your Unity Games?

You can't improve what you don't measure. Aptabase helps you get valuable insights from your Unity Games in a privacy-friendly manner.

Game Interaction: Are you aware of what users spend most of their time on your game? What configurations that majority of your users prefer? Gaining insights into these areas allows you to make well-informed decisions on future focus points for enhancing your Unity games user experience.
Location and Language: Understanding the geographical distribution of your user base can significantly inform the decision to localize your Unity games, thereby enhancing its global accessibility and visibility on that market.
What devices and versions are my users on?: Aptabase efficiently gathers data such as the names of operating systems such as Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, etc., and their respective versions. This valuable insight enables you to concentrate on crafting enhanced user experiences tailored to the most widely used OS and versions.

Quickstart

Add Aptabase to your Unity Games

Install the Unity SDK, initialize it with your App Key and track your first event. Get the App Key from the dashboard's Instructions menu — keys look like A-EU-*, A-US-*.

1. Install

Package: Unity Package Manager (git URL)

Package Manager → Add package from git URL: https://github.com/aptabase/aptabase-unity.git

2. Configuration

Set your App Key in the settings asset at Aptabase/Resources/AptabaseSettings.Asset. Events are batched and sent every 60 seconds in production and every 2 seconds in development; override this via the FlushInterval field.

3. Track events

Aptabase.TrackEvent("app_started");
Aptabase.TrackEvent("screen_view", new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    { "name", "Settings" }
});

Manual flush: Aptabase.Flush();

How the SDK behaves

Nothing is tracked automatically — you call the track function for each event.
Every event is enriched automatically with OS name/version, app version and locale.
Custom property values must be strings or numbers.
Tracking calls are non-blocking and run in the background.
Events are separated into Debug and Release build modes automatically (see https://aptabase.com/docs/build-modes).
