developed and use your app on a free plan.

Can you explain more on this part? Are those users of an app you have developed, or something else?

That was a typo.
I meant - Please asides Google Analytics, are there other ways to know how many people have installed and use your app on a free plan.

Measure PWA installs

That post is almost 2 years old. We didn’t have the JavaScript column back then. Yes. In fact, simply copy/pasting that code that you linked to seems to do the trick: function getPWADisplayMode() { const isStandalone = window.matchMedia('(display-mode: standalone)').matches; if (document.referrer.startsWith('android-app://')) { return 'twa'; } else if (navigator.standalone || isStandalone) { return 'standalone'; } return 'browser'; } return getPWADisplayMode(); [CleanSh…

You can try this.

Thank you, please where do I input this to get the number of users/persons who have downloaded the app?

First, follow the steps on the post to get a column on whether it’s “standalone” or “browser”.

Have a boolean column called “Installed” in your user profiles table. This column is a basic column, not user-specific.

With an action that you know people will always trigger/a button that always gets clicked, add this:

• If user’s “Installed” column is not checked and “Type” is “Standalone”, then set the “Installed” column to true.

• Else, just insert the normal action steps.

Finally, add a rollup column on top of the boolean to count the total of installs.
