AdMob Earnings & Analytics

Features
Read full description

The unofficial AdMob dashboard app. Every app's earnings at a glance, and the answers the AdMob console makes you dig for. Open it and you see today's earnings across every app you publish, where the month is heading, and why your revenue went up or down. Built by an app developer, for app developers. TODAY, AT A GLANCE • Today's earnings across all your apps, against yesterday's full day • Today's impressions, eCPM and match rate under the headline figure • Yesterday, last 7 days, this month and last month, each with its change and a sparkline • Month projection: where this month is on track to land, paced on your last seven complete days and charted against last month • A 14-day earnings chart you can scrub with a finger • Every app's earnings so far today, its share of the day and its last two weeks, with its real App Store icon • Tap an app to see which countries, ad formats and ad units are earning for it right now TRENDS THAT EXPLAIN THEMSELVES • 7, 30 or 90 days of earnings, with the previous period drawn alongside • Honest change indicators: when a rise or fall is inside your account's normal day-to-day swing, the app says so instead of painting it green or red • What moved it: every change is split into traffic (ad requests), fill (match rate), delivery (show rate) and price (eCPM), with a one-line summary like "Mostly traffic: ad requests up 26%" • Where it moved: the apps, countries and ad formats that gained and lost the most, ranked by money, not by misleading percentages • eCPM explained: see whether advertisers paid more or less, or your traffic shifted to countries or formats that pay differently • Weekday pattern: which days of the week earn you the most UNUSUAL DAYS, CAUGHT FOR YOU The app checks every day against the two weeks before it and flags the ones that broke the pattern: • Click-through spikes, the pattern AdMob treats as accidental clicks, so you can check your ad placements early • Fill outages, when ad networks stopped filling your requests • Show-rate drops, when ads loaded but were not shown, often after an app update • Traffic spikes and drops, and unusually big or small days Tap a flagged day to see it on the chart. EVERY APP, EVERY CUT • All your apps ranked by earnings, each with its change, share of revenue and trend • A page for every app: its own trend, drivers, unusual days, and its top countries, formats and ad units • Countries, ad formats and ad units across your whole account • Periods that match how AdMob pays: 7 days, 30 days, this month and last month • Search once your portfolio grows ACCURATE BY DESIGN • Days follow your AdMob account's reporting time zone, not your phone's, so "today" matches AdMob wherever you are • Figures in your account's own currency • Rates are computed from real totals, never averaged from daily percentages • Opens instantly with your last figures, then refreshes • Several publisher accounts? Switch with one tap • Hide your publisher ID for screenshots and screen sharing • Light and dark mode, native iOS design, VoiceOver support and colorblind-safe charts PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Read-only access: the app can view your AdMob reports and cannot change anything in your account • Your earnings travel straight from Google to your iPhone and never pass through our servers • No tracking: ads are never personalised, and the app never asks to track you • Optional Face ID lock • Disconnect any time from Settings to revoke access and delete the sign-in key we keep FREE, WITH ADS YOU CAN REMOVE Free, with a few banners and an occasional full-screen ad at launch. One purchase removes every ad, for good. No subscription. Just curious? Tap "Explore with sample data" to try every feature on a sample portfolio, without signing in. Requires a Google account with access to an AdMob publisher account. AdMob Earnings & Analytics is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Google LLC.
