I have an app in the AppStore since march. Doing quite well with 60k ish downloads and Lots of subscribers. But I cannot understand retention rate stats at all. Can someone explain like I’m 5? I thought I got it - but then the retention rate went up slightly in the 4th month. I thought this could only decrease as more people cancel their subscription so clearly my mental model is broken. We also have a 72% retention over the last month on one screen but this doesn’t seem to be anything like the retentions in the rolling average. Thanks!
