I am not able to login to the application. What is the problem?
You likely have one of the following issues causing the problem:
- You do not have a valid / active Google Account
- Your Google Account is not associated with any Google Analytics Accounts / Profiles
- You may need to reauthorize the application to access your GA data

Why is this application useful?
- GA Evolution allows you to quickly grab large amounts of GA data from multiple profiles at the same time
- GA Evolution allows you to visually compare multiple GA segments & profiles all at the same time using Flot
- GA Evolution is fast and gives anywhere access thanks to leveraging the Google App Engine for Java
Few other applications (neither GA nor most apps using the GA API) do any of this things, let alone all three. Besides, it is free.

Is this application free?
Yes it is 100% free. It is possible that in the future that I may add some additional functionality for "premium" users, but the main reporting feature will always be free.

What about data privacy? Are you storing my data anywhere?
This application uses Google's implementation of the OAuth method for authorizing application access. There exists a relationship between the user's userID from Google and the Authorization Token. To speed up access and to allow multiple API requests at the same time, the application stores the current userid and authorization token in the Google App Engine datastore. A user can eliminate their stored userid and authorization token at any time by clicking on the link that says "revoke access" in the header.
No Google Analytics profile data or report data is stored, ever. Additionally, no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is ever stored in Google Analytics. This is a read-only application.

ReplyDeletePlease could you tell me why this dont work and what to do to fix it?

P.S. I have a business analytics account meaning I have more then one client in my account could this be why its not working?
No problem. I am not sure what you mean about being a business Account for GA. I have multiple profiles and multiple accounts for my same user and I have no problem using the tool.
ReplyDeleteThere appears to be a possible bug in the AppEngine system that I have notified them of to investigate. It seems to be triggered due to certain timeouts between App Engine and the GA API. So if you have lots of accounts and profiles (for example 60 profiles across 5 accounts with lots of custom segments), then this might be triggering the error.
I can be reached for further support at gaevolution DOT appspot AT gmail DOT com
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteGreat tool for comparing a variety of accounts, however I'd like to pull through some eCommerce data such as average order value, revenue, etc. and can't seem to see how to do so.
Is this possible?
I'm really keen to create benchmarks across multiple clients and see who is over/under performing.
Very slick, thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow do I export the reports as CSV or PDF though?
Thank you,
I do not have an export setup yet, sorry. The easiest thing is to just select the tables that you want to copy and then just paste the data into Excel. From there, you can export as CSV or PDF it any way you would like.
ReplyDeleteOnce I can get some free time to implement CSV, I will be adding it... or at least some type of text export. I may use TSV instead because I do not want the number formating to conflict with the commas of a CSV.
Please rate my app on the Google Analytics App page.
Thanks.
Awesome tool. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeletethank you for the great tool. I do not know how to get there views of data such as average time on site?
ReplyDeleteCould you explain this?
best regards

The app today does not have time metrics, but I will add it to the list of improvements. However, it probably is going to take a while before that value appears in the app. Please be patient. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are happy with the web app. You can always give a positive rating on the GA app page here: http://goo.gl/siOtq
