TapMetrics is software suite that helps iPhone developers make their applications better.

Bitfire Systems, the company behind TapMetrics, was created to develop iPhone applications. We started coding some apps, got them into the App Store and then we were confronted with the mess that is iTunes Connect. We used Excel to track our downloads by importing the CSV files and read through the reviews page by page, it became tedious and a huge waste of our time. So I began coding up some quick and dirty solution that we lovingly called Yeti.

So as our consumption of data about our iPhone applications grew, so did Yeti. As we showed it around to some of our developer friends, they wanted to get their hands on it. Sadly, I didn’t think ahead and there wasn’t even multiple user support, let alone multiple account support for our friends to use it.

So I sat down, threw out all the old code and started again with a greater focus on what problems Yeti was to solve. That was the birth of TapMetrics and in making that decision, we became dedicated to finding the simplest, most hassle free and productive ways to enable developers to understand their users and improve their applications.

So in a nutshell, here is what TapMetrics can do for you as a developer.

• Provide you with the tools to gather insight and understanding about your users and how they’re using you’re application.
• To enable you to directly communicate with your users and gather feedback and offer incentives to your users.
• Built-in ratings system that is flexible to your application.
• Highly detailed analytics about how your application is being used and highlighting patterns to you.
• Remote crash reporting helping you fix the bugs that fell through the cracks.
• Track your downloads and financial reports and provide you the tools to download from iTunes Connect and upload to us hassle free.
• Automatically gather your application reviews from every iTunes store and translate them for you.
• Track your application ranking (and even your competitors!) over time.
• Track the buzz about your applications
• And a lot more!

We got a lot of other really great stuff that we’re working on for you including an iPhone application and API to both TapMetrics and our other related services that we’re announcing at launch.

We’re still in development, working to try and get it right the first time. If you want to know when we’re ready for you, head over to our website and enter your email address.
