Clicky brings stats to the iPhone, it looks awesomeBeing a stats-addict sucks. You experience highs and lows the whole day, which causes unpredictable mood swings. Though when you’re running a project that actually does well, it doesn’t hurt to check it every once in a while. For me, checking The Next Web stats sort of works like a happy-pill, I guess. So I was glad to hear that my favorite statistics service Clicky (review here) will officially launch an iPhone version of its stats dashboard on Monday. And guess what? It’s already available on m.getclicky.com!

When opening the page in your iPhone, you’ll see an overview of all your web sites. Click on one, and you can choose whether you want to check the stats of “Today”, “Yesterday”, “Last Week”, and some other date options. Then a screen with a summary appears and the options to see the “Visitor tally”, the “Action tally”, and the “Recent visitors” (There are actually a ton more options, just scroll down). To give you an idea of the eye-candy, you can see our recent visitors at the right.

Although Google Analytics is the standard, I use Clicky for my sites. I believe smaller companies are more likely to innovate and the launch of the iPhone app proves that (No Google Analytics app so far).

Disclosure: we’re involved in a affiliate program with Clicky. Which we wouldn’t be if the service wasn’t that great. Oh an by the way, there are no affiliate links in this post.

UPDATE: Clicky has now ‘officially’ launched the App.

    Hey thanks. glad you like it. FYI, when you hit the dashboard, you can scroll down. There are a ton more options than just visitor/action tally and recent visitors!

    Thanks Sean! When can we expect a ‘real app’ for the iPhone? Would be cool!

    We’re not planning an official iPhone “app” – the whole Apple approval process is complete shit. We applied as a developer over 3 months ago and we still haven’t heard anything. We gave up and just made this instead. :)

    I discovered Clicky via nextweb.org and I must admit it’s way better than Google Analytics…

    it is, at the same time, interesting to notice some differences in the stats between analytics services.

    In my case I see differences on time spent on the site and other little things…

    in that sense I guess some basic open standard should be agreed to make sure we are comparing apples with apples…
