Singapore Buses Year-in-Review 2024

It's the last day of 2024! I launched this version of Singapore Buses in September 2023, so 2024 is the first full year of statistics I have available. The data below is captured through Firebase and App Store Connect.

Number of sessions: 133,000
Geolocation Alerts (to tell a user when they've arrived): 1,600
Live Activities: 627
Crashes: 48 (though 0 since October)
End of Year Ratings:
- 4.6 ★★★★★ | 266 ratings (Singapore App Store)
- 4.9 ★★★★★ | 34 ratings (Malaysia App Store)
- 4.8 ★★★★★ | 11 ratings (US App Store)
- 4.7 ★★★★★ | 10 ratings (UK App Store)
- 4.9 ★★★★★ | 7 ratings (India App Store)
- 4.3 ★★★★☆ | 6 ratings (Thai App Store)
- 4.0 ★★★★☆ | 4 ratings (Australia App Store)
- 4.8 ★★★★★ | 4 ratings (Japan App Store)

The Live Activity count is not as high as I would have hoped, but it is gated behind a (very small) in-app subscription so it is perhaps not surprising. The majority of the 48 crashes were caused by a daft programming error (i.e., my error) where I was trying to update the UI from a background thread. I haven't seen a crash report since I fixed it in October.

Ratings-wise, I'm happy. (The overall 4★ rating from Australia is broken down to three 5★ ratings plus one 1★ rating, with no written review. I'm ignoring it.)

I'm happiest with the number of sessions. At 133,000 for the year, it averages at over 2,500 sessions-per-week.

On to the money:
