So it appears that there’s no way to view custom properties passed along with an event? In the Amplitude interface I don’t see any access to these, and even if I export out a CSV, all I see in the “custom_properties” column is something like this:
{“level”:12}
It’s like a string of the table’s being passed, and not even being processed on Amplitude’s end.
Hello!
How I can turn off amplitude? My app continuously send something to api.amplitude.com and eat 40kb/s of bandwidth because of it. Even if I don’t touch the app.
I use only flurry analytics. I don’t need amplitude.
You can easily turn off Launchpad (powered by Amplitude) analytics:
http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/basics/configSettings/index.html#analytics-launchpad
I’ll look into why you might be seeing that strange behavior.
Perry - can I ask a few questions while you’re there:
i) I had Amplitude setup already in app below using config.settings, which I did some weeks back. Would it be now sending two sets of data? Do I need to turn off the normal Amplitude now that Corona uses it?
-- key is the name passed to Lua's 'require()' ["plugin.amplitude"] = { -- required publisherId = "com.amplitude", },
ii) does Amplitude store your results and not delete them? or if not how long does it store them for? I’m interested in downloading the whole data to get access to the custom parameters, as currently the Amplitude graphs don’t show what I want, but being able to download the csv is great. So just wanting to know how often I would need to remember to download the csv file to keep a complete record?
iii) is there a way to delete an app on the website? I created a test app but now going to launch want to delete it and create the real app name. Only difference I guess is to get the name right & dump the data that was in there from testing.
iv) what happens when the user is offline? does the app save the events and then pass them through when it can or just drop them
v) I assume the processing of an event happens is a “separate thread” so to speak? no impact to game performance?
thanks

They shouldn’t interfere with each other but there’s little point in having the default analytics turned on if you’re including them manually.

You’d need to ask Amplitude this directly.

I haven’t found one. They’re constantly improving things so I expect it’ll show up sooner rather than later.
iv) what happens when the user is offline? does the app save the events and then pass them through when it can or just drop them
It saves some events but it’ll start dropping them if the user is off-line for an extending period.

That’s exactly how it works.
Has anyone else been using Amplitude and getting drastically different statistics than what’s shown in iTunes Connect reporting? I’ve raised the issue to Amplitude staff, but I wonder if there could be an issue in how events are sent to Amplutude, via Corona… I’ve checked and double-checked my code and all is good. Just everything is way off. IAPs register like double or triple actual sales, and new/returning users are way way lower than actual stats…
Anyone else had good/bad success with Amplitude?
Thanks,
Nate
based on looking at new users since launch I’m noting flurry is about right, but amplitude is showing only about 1/3 of what I would expect (looking in overview, last 30 days, and the new users column)

Yes, Amplitude seems to be way off. Still waiting to hear from their team…
