Improved Login and scalability

In previous versions, Matomo Mobile was not working if the Matomo server contained thousands of websites. As of Matomo 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

Matomo Mobile now uses the new ImageGraph plugin to render static graphs directly on the Matomo 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 Matomo server runs at least Matomo 1.6. If your Matomo server runs 1.5.1 or earlier release, the graphs will be rendered for a limited time only. We recommend to update to Matomo 1.6!

Anonymous tracking

We added an optional anonymous tracking. When enabled, Matomo Mobile will send anonymous usage data to piwik.org. The intent is to use this data to help Matomo 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 Matomo 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 Matomo 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.
