Nomad Analytics for BlackBerry Smartphones brings Google Analytics data to the palm of your hand

Nomad Analytics for BlackBerry  Nomad Analytics for BlackBerry

The folks from Grupo83 let us know about their new Google Analytics app for BlackBerry Smartphones, which as you might expect, I was eager to try out. For $4.99 in App World, Nomad Analytics brings your website's Google Analytics data to the palm of your hand.

Main features of Nomad Analytics include:

  • Ability to select any of the sites linked to your Analytics account
  • Easy and intuitive menu navigation interface
  • Nice line and pie charts to easily provide main information graphically
  • Data and graphs on daily, weekly and monthly basis for all the information provided
  • Selectable date format
  • Available in English and Spanish. More languages to come.

As for the data reported, it includes the usual overload of stats for the things Google analytics users would expect, including: overview, sources, countries, keywords, content, browser, operating systems, languages, networks and mobile connections. For BlackBerry users who manage a website and want to know how their site is doing when away from the computer, it's definitely a welcome app have to have installed. 

It still needs a bit of tweaking though. I actually found the login field to not be friendly to a long email addres (took me forever to actually login as my address was longer than the input field and the cursor went all crazy when it ran past the visible field). Also, the reporting seems to be limited in terms of date ranges. The daily view shows today's data, while weekly and monthly show you the past seven and 31 days including the current day (which I dislike it defaulting to that as the current day usually contains partial data - I'd rather it default to the previous full day on those reports). Also, it doesn't appear that there is currently anyway to run reports for specific data ranges, which is too bad, but I guess that's what the full version of analytics is for. At least Nomad Analytics does give you a good snapshot of where things are on your website right now. For more info and to purchase, you can grab it from App World at the link below.

Kevin - I am trying to figure out what RIM's consumer versus enterprise mix looks like. Can you help? Any thoughts or places to look would be very helpful. Thx!

These screenshots look like an almost-verbatim rip-off of some of the UI example code presented at the 2010 BlackBerry Developer conference. Makes me wonder if anything looks original once you get deeper into the app.

I was looking for this kind of app, but at 4.99$, it's disappointing. The "content" doesn't show the good stats, so does the time spent on site which is wrong. It doesn't support french characters such as é, ç or à. The month chart is actually really difficult to read as half of the chart is from the hourly stats... which are empty! At least, it was really fast and the presentation is very nice... but it needs more tweaking. Hopefully, there was a trial version... might wait for the updates to come and see if it will be worth 5$... or not.

First of all, thank you for your comments.

We have already checked and fixed the following:
- "time spent on site" value
- the issues with characters like "é, ç and à"
- we have included a checkbox inside the options menu that allows the user to select if stats should include present day data or stop on yesterday as web google analytics does.

The new update is pending RIM Appworld approval and it should be available for download soon.

Should you have any other suggestions or if you find any problem, you can also contact us directly through App World.

Thanks again to everybody!
