Can't believe it took this long to get this out, but it's a beautifully designed, simple app that helps make sense of complex data sets. Great job, Mixpanel team!
@nihar_bhupalam & Mixpanel team - congrats on the launch!
Can you tell us some of the big struggles you had in getting this live?
Website metrics can be very complex and a lot of information to sift through so I imagine it can be quite a challenge to get the balance right on a mobile app.
What are some key things you cannot do on the app vs web that you are looking to implement in the near future?
@bentossell@nihar_bhupalam
Our biggest hurdle was underestimating how much time it takes to make a high quality app these days. This is Mixpanel's first app so we had to learn a lot obvious things that our own customers already know. The process was illuminating since we learned a lot about what our own customers go through from debating objective-c vs swift all the way to accidentally uploading the wrong binary to the App Store and having to wait longer for release which was painful. Now we get to use Mixpanel to grow it!
As far as striking the right balance and what's possible on mobile vs web, here's how we think about it: You use the website to dig deep and do very sophisticated analysis and you use the app to keep yourself up to date on the high level metrics you care about after you've dug deep. It's just like how you wouldn't write a 10-page essay on your phone but you may write a quick paragraph to someone via email. Each device has its own use case and your phone is the most accessible dashboard in the world.

That is a great analogy. I always think of mobile be good for consuming content but desktops for actually getting work done.
@pbriod To some degree, we are working through a refreshed design for the future of Mixpanel as a design team. We really want to nail the UX since we have a better understanding of how the product and its pieces fit together.
Awesome! Really looking forward to using this. It's tough trying to remember all these metrics on the whim, a mobile app helps make that 10x easier going into important meetings.
Great work MP team.
Great V1! A couple of thoughts:
1) A global filter on the dashboard would be nice, to change the modules by timeframe, uniques, totals, etc.
2) I couldn't find an easy way to check on MAUs, WAUs, DAUs, etc. I do this now by setting bookmarks on the People data on the site.
3) Would also be nice to see all the People data in here, too.
Thanks!
@brandwagon I second the request for global filters - esp for timeframes. I still find myself having to use some third-party apps in order to see data in that way.
Hello @suhail!
Congratulate with great implementation on mobile! 💪🏻
Just a little question: ETA of Smart Notifications for most important metrics (saw coming soon in app) ?
YES! No more shitty apps that work terrible with Mixpanel, now we can get the real thing :) I was waiting for this, I'd love to see some good (custom) UI for the iPad version, something that can get managers excited about exploring their insights while travelling and such. As you probably know so well implementing a new process or tool across an entire organisation really depends on the manager being onboard and supporting this. Sometimes it can get pretty hard as your boss might not have the time and without meaning to might overlook some really useful details.
