On your release dashboard, you can see how your app's most recent production release performs in relation to installs, uninstalls, updates, ratings, reviews, crashes, and ANRs.
Set up your dashboard
- Open Play Console.
- Select an app.
- On the left menu, click Production.
- Use the two drop-downs to select the primary release you want to view and any comparison releases. By default, your app's current release will be compared against all devices with your app installed.

Display tips
When viewing your dashboard, keep the following in mind:
- Summary: At the top of your dashboard, you'll see a summary that shows how your primary release performs against:
- A selected comparison release, or
- All releases (including the new release)
- Timeline: The timeline on your release dashboard is fixed and can't be customized.
- Start time: Graphs begin at the time of the initial rollout of the primary release.
- When not comparing against another release: If your production release started rolling out on April 5, all graphs will start on that date.
- When comparing against another release: Timeline will show the number of hours and days since the start of each release. If your primary release started on April 5 and your comparison release started on March 21, both will start at the same point.
- End time: Data for a release will be displayed for 7 days after you stop increasing the rollout of your release, 1 day after you halt a release, or 1 day after a new release begins rolling out (whichever comes first).
- Start time: Graphs begin at the time of the initial rollout of the primary release.
- Dates and times: To see specific dates and times, hover over the graph. Release milestones, like when your app's staged rollout reached 50%, will be marked with a comment icon .
- View report: For more information about a specific card, click the View details link at the bottom.
Analysis tips
Here are some ways you can use your release data to decide when to increase a staged rollout or halt a release.
- If you notice a spike in uninstall events after an update:
- Review crash and ANR data to see if there's an above average trend.
- Review the average rating for your release, along with 1 and 2 star reviews to learn more about what could be causing the change.
- If your latest release has a significant increase in "Crashes per 1000 devices" compared to a successful previous release, consider pausing your latest release to investigate what caused the increase.
