Android Tablet Version

We are happy to release Android Tablet support, and we will continue to improve the tablet version in the future. We have already received some exciting feedback from our beta testers. Please test and send us your feedback, it is helpful and we really appreciate!

Historical Graphs

The Mobile App will now display the historical graphs when they are available, and will let you switch between overview graph and historical graph. Just tap the graph to get the possibility to switch. Note: the historical graphs can unfortunately be a bit slow at the moment, but we will improve the loading time in the future.

New Piwik Mobile UI

We are currently finishing the wireframes for an all new Piwik Mobile UI which will improve the general usability. You’ll love it! If you are a designer and have experience in designing mobile apps, feel free to contact us if you’d like to help and make a design on the basis of those wireframes.

Thank you & Enjoy Piwik Mobile!

Piwik Mobile 1.9.2

Piwik Mobile 1.9.2 is a follow up release to the recent 1.9.1 release. The new Piwik Mobile includes the following changes:

  • Added possibility to view graph in fullscreen
  • Fixed some login issues
  • Network error messages contain more details about the occurred error
  • iOS: Requires now iOS4.3+

More details about fixed login issues

We noticed some users got a “HTTP 403 Forbidden” response when Piwik Mobile makes requests to their server. In those specific cases the servers sent a 403 response because of the used User-Agent Appcelerator Titanium/2.1.3 (iPhone Simulator/5.1; iPhone OS; en_US;). Therefore, we changed the User-Agent to:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1 for all requests Piwik Mobile is performing to your server. If you still get a 403 response, just let us know or have a look at your Server configuration and your Server’s error logs. There’s a good chance that “mod_security” or something is blocking Piwik Mobile.

We also fixed a bug where most network erros were displaying the error message “A data request to http://example.com timed out. Please try again.”. We fixed this issue and you should now get a proper and more detailed error message if any error occurs while requesting your server.

Please let us know if you still experience any login issues.

Thank you!

Piwik Mobile 1.8

We are proud to announce that Piwik Mobile 1.8 is now available!

List of new features and changes in this Piwik Mobile release 1.8

  • Custom date range selection #3058
  • Added date chooser in “Visitor Log” #2917. This makes it possible to look at visitors from past days.
  • High resolution images for iPad 3 #3025
  • Rating dialog, more info below #3020
  • Fixed Piwik installations having a self signed certificate are neither able to see graphs nor sparklines #2842
  • Many changes were done to be fully compatible with the latest version of the underlying SDK Titanium Mobile.
    This brings again performance improvements, bug fixes and better memory management. #3113
  • Other minor bugfixes and improvements

Known issues

  • Displayed date range is possibly not correct if “to-Date” is set to today. This is a bug in Piwik, see #3074
  • Android: Some text fields have focus issues in “Add account screen” — you have to tap a textfield twice before updating its value.

More info about this release

Possibility to select a custom date range

A major new feature is the possibility to select a custom date range. We had to completely change the date picker in order to make this possible and tried many different layouts. The challenge was to stay consistent while keeping it very simple for when the ‘range’ period is not used.

Let us know what you think about this!

Piwik installations with self signed certificates

We are very happy to have found a workaround for users having a self signed certificate. It was not possible to view graphs or sparklines for such users in previous versions. Unfortunately, we were not able to apply this patch for icons displayed in “Visitor Log” and “Visitors in Real Time”. Be sure we’ll fix this as soon as possible.

Rating dialog

Another change is the introduction of the rating dialog cause your opinion and feedback is very important to us. We do display a “rating dialog” on every 40th app start from now on. Don’t worry, you have the possibility to discard the appearance of the dialog so it displays again, or hide it by giving us an honest rating and feedack comment!

Feel free to send us feature wishes, bug reports, wireframes, mockups or even layouts. We can improve Piwik Mobile much better with your feedback!

Piwik Mobile 1.7

List of new features and changes in this Piwik Mobile release 1.7

  • Piwik Mobile now requires iOS4+ and Android 2.2+
  • Metrics are now selectable in statistics view #2116
    For example you can display pageviews, unique pageviews, average time on site, etc. for any report (similarly to the Piwik software)
  • Visitors who have achieved a goal are highlighted in Visitor Log and Live!
  • Graphs do display more than 5 values if there is enough space
  • Fixed memory leaks and improved memory usage #2851
    The app should be much more stable now — especially the “Visitors in Real Time” report on Android.
  • Added FAQ on the website, now accessible via Settings and Add Account screen.
    This is useful especially for new users who possibly experience some problems.
  • New “Add Account” screen that lets you creates several user accounts, to access different Piwik servers from your Piwik Mobile app

Underlying code changes

Piwik Mobile has received significant code changes under the hood, in order to improve performance, stability, memory usage and code extensibility/maintainability. Please report any bugs you experience!

Unfortunately, we now have to require Android 2.2+ and iOS4+. The underlying framework (Titanium Mobile) made some changes which made this necessary. For example they switched the JavaScript engine from Rhino to V8 on Android which is only available starting from Android 2.2+. The JavaScript engine V8 brings a lot of performance improvements. We have also rewritten the code base to use CommonJS Modules.

Piwik Mobile 1.6


We are proud to announce that Piwik Mobile 1.6 is now available!

Here is the list of changes in this Piwik Mobile release 1.6:

Improved Login and scalability

In previous versions, Piwik Mobile was not working if the Piwik server contained thousands of websites. As of Piwik Mobile 1.6 the app will now scale! By default, five websites will be displayed for each configured account. You can search for further websites. We also fixed (hopefully all) login issues and improved the performance when requesting the list of websites.

New Graphs

Piwik Mobile now uses the new ImageGraph plugin to render static graphs directly on the Piwik instance which brings a performance boost and ensures a better visual experience (expect some improvements to the graphs look and feel soon). The new graphs require that your Piwik server runs at least Piwik 1.6. If your Piwik server runs 1.5.1 or earlier release, the graphs will be rendered for a limited time only. We recommend to update to Piwik 1.6!

Anonymous tracking

We added an optional anonymous tracking. When enabled, Piwik Mobile will send anonymous usage data to piwik.org. The intent is to use this data to help Piwik Mobile developers better understand how the app is used. Information sent is: menus and settings clicked on, OS name and version, any error displayed in Piwik Mobile. We will NOT track any of your analytics data. This anonymous data will never be made public. You can disable/enable anonymous tracking in Settings at any time.

iPad specific layout

We made a specific layout for the iPad. The list of available reports and the processed report is now displayed side by side. The website- and date-chooser is opened in a Popover window. So you can navigate faster through your data.

Known Issues

  • Android: When opening the app, the keyboard is sometimes displayed on Android.
  • Android: On devices with a higher resolution, there is some whitespace above and below the graph.
  • iOS: The displayed graph (when using Piwik 1.6 or higher) does always use the period day.
  • iOS & Android: When rotating the device within the graph detail screen, the graph is not fully displayed.

Piwik Mobile 1.5

We are proud to announce that Piwik Mobile 1.5 is now available!

Here is the list of changes in this Piwik Mobile release 1.5:

  • Visitors in Real Time! and Visitor Log (requires at least Piwik server 1.4)
  • Support for screen rotation
  • Support for Android Honeycomb
  • Support for Multi Density on Android (sharper text and icons)
  • Runs faster
  • UI and Usability improvements
  • Bugfixes
  • Much better configurable and styleable for developers. A documentation for this will be available soon. Stay tuned on the Piwik Mobile Developer pages.

Android 1.6 is no longer supported

Unfortunately, we are no longer able to support Android 1.6. Piwik is based on the Titanium Mobile framework which has dropped the support for Android 1.6. This affects about 2% of the Android Users. Android 1.6 users who have already installed the app are still able to use Piwik Mobile 1.4. However, we can not guarantee that this version will work with future versions of Piwik server.

Known issues

  • An orientation change within the detailed view of a graph falsely rotates the graph
  • An option dialog always opens in portrait mode on iOS

Future of Piwik Mobile

We are working on better graphs for the Piwik Mobile App. We are also to make Piwik Mobile work with hundreds or thousands of websites, it currently times out trying to load the whole list of websites.

This version was re-engineered from scratch, to allow better maintainability and future evolutions. If you find a bug or have suggestions to improve the app, please check that your bug report/suggestion is not already in the Piwik Mobile tickets list, and create a ticket.

We would like to thank our sponsor Mayflower for maintaining Piwik Mobile, renewing iOS Developer Accounts, and more.

We hope you enjoy Piwik on the go in your mobile phone,

Have fun & Happy analytics!
