I wanted to check the App statistics on the Google Play Store Console and I've found these statistics:
Install base
The number of active devices on which your app is installed. An active device is one that has been turned on at least once in the previous 30 days.
Installed audience
The number of users who have your app installed on at least one device that has been turned on in the last 30 days
Daily active users (DAU)
The number of users who opened your app on a given day
Monthly active users (MAU)
The number of users who opened your app in a 28-day period
So as I understood it, the difference between "Installed audience" and "MAU" is that "Installed audience" users have just the app installed and MAU are users that have also opened the app at least once. So every MAU should also be part of Installed audience and the number can not be higher than the Installed audience.
But these are roughly the numbers I got:
Install base: 21000
Installed audience: 18000
Daily active users: 7000
Monthly active users: 24000
So somehow MAU is actually the largest number, which doesn't make sense to me. So I guess I misunderstood something. Does anybody know how it works? Is it maybe not unique users?
Where to find MAU in Play Store Console
Edit:
Also this is the explanation for the metrics used on MAU. Is it unique users or unique devices now?
Unique users: The number of unique devices that an event happens to. Such as the number of unique devices that install your app.
I've contacted the googleplay developer support and they said MAU is counting every session on a device.
But this makes no sense either, cause in that case the numbers should be much higher and if it's actually not unique users then the numbers between DAU and MAU wouldn't work either.

I recently uploaded an app on the playstore. I has quite a number of downloads. However, this number is far more than the number of users who actually created an account. I check and there are neither crashes nor uninstalls which cause this. Installed audience is almost 1000 but number of user accounts only about 100. For the app, the user most create and account before using the service.
I imagined that this would reduce the number of registered accounts however, I did not expect to get only 10% out of it. I'll like to know if anyone experienced a similar issue and what the solution was.

I have written a game. I would like to go with the AdMob based monitization. There will be a paid option of No Ads.
However, I would also like to limit the number of plays a person can do in a day for the free version to maybe 2 or 3, unless they have paid for the No Ads option where they can have unlimited plays.
How could this be done?
Shared preferences or any data will be deleted if a person uninstalls the game then re-installs. I do not want a database option on my server. So it has to be some file or something on the phone itself.
The information has to be stored somewhere.
if you want it to survive uninstall then re-install, it can't be stored on the client
you say you don't want to store it on your server
There is only one place left, someone else's server. There are lots of options to this, but one would be using Google Play Games servers. For example, you could use the Saved Games API. However, it is counted against the users Google Drive quota so they can delete it. You could also use some other provider like Firebase.
I am bit confused about the Parse Audience dashboard data for Android. Can someone explain me how are this calculated
1- Daily Active Installations
2- Weekly Active Installations
3- Monthly Active Installations
4- Total Installations
Issue i am facing is that My total installations says total of 72,000 installations, whereas my Google Play store download count is about 29000.
Just wanted to know why this difference of installations between Parse and Google Play store.
Because when I send Push notification Parse Total Push send is 72000, which is very high as compared to my current Google play store users.
Thanks

I was wondering how does parse rack these users? I'm developing an app with 2 other people right now, but parse is showing 19 installations and 5 monthly active users. Can anyone help with this?
A new installation corresponds to your app's user allowing push notifications when you ask. Every new app re-install also counts as a new installation. So if during testing you install/re-install quite a bit, this will go up.
An active user corresponds to a user who's logged in via your app. It depends on how you're testing and your login mechanism.
Monthly active, I believe refers to the activity over the last 30 days.
