Vexo provides real-time user analytics for your Expo application, helping you understand how users interact with your app, identify friction points, and improve engagement.

With a two-line integration, Vexo starts collecting data automatically, giving you actionable insights to optimize your app's user experience. If needed, you can also create custom events.

Features

  1. Complete Dashboard
    • Active Users
    • Session Time
    • Downloads
    • OS Distribution
    • Version Adoption
    • Geographic Insights
    • Popular Screens
  2. Session Replays
    • Watch real user sessions to understand their interactions.
  3. Heatmaps
    • Identify the most engaged areas of your app.
  4. Funnels
    • Analyze user flows and optimize conversion rates.
  5. Custom Events and Dashboard Personalization
    • Track specific user actions by creating custom events.
    • Customize your dashboard to visualize key metrics.

Getting started

  1. Create an account: Sign up for a Vexo account .

  2. Create a new app: You'll be prompted to create a new app. Give it a name (you can change it later), and once you submit it, you'll receive an API key.

  3. Install the Vexo package: Run the following command in your project:

    npm

    yarn

    Terminal

    Copy

    - npm install vexo-analytics

    Terminal

    Copy

    - yarn add vexo-analytics

  4. Initialize Vexo: Add the following code in your app's entry file (for example, index.js, App.js, or app/_layout.tsx if using Expo Router):

    app/_layout.tsx

    Copy

    import { vexo } from 'vexo-analytics'; // You may want to wrap this with `if (!__DEV__) { ... }` to only run Vexo in production. vexo('YOUR_API_KEY');

  5. Rebuild and run your app: Since vexo-analytics includes native code, you need to rebuild your application.

  6. Verify integration: Go to your app's page on Vexo and you should see your first event!

Compatibility

  • Expo: Vexo is compatible with Development builds and does not require additional configuration plugins.
  • Expo Go: Not supported, as Vexo requires custom native code.
