2/ If you app is good enough, people will use your app everyday. The next metric you will look at is the retention. You want the users to come back to your app everyday during a long time (forever if possible). For that, your app need to be really useful (Waze, WhatsApp, ...)
3/ If your app has some in app purchases, your “addicted users” are the target. You want them to improve their everyday experience by buying this small pack at only 4.99€.

I took the time to write this article for two reasons:
- I want to be transparent. You have all the info, even the technical info
