Description
The percentage of users who have uninstalled the app relative to the total number of app installations.
Why it is important
A high Uninstalls Rate may indicate issues with user experience, app functionality, or customer dissatisfaction.

Monitoring this metric helps identify areas for improvement, allowing businesses to make informed decisions to enhance the app and retain a larger user base.
Formula
(Uninstalls / Total App Installs) * 100
Calculation example
Let's consider a scenario where you have a total of 20,000 app installations, and during a specific time period, 1,000 users uninstall the app. The Uninstalls Rate would be calculated as follows:

Uninstalls Rate = ( 20,000 / 1,000) × 100 = 5%
