The variable of first_open counts the event when a user opens the app the first time. What happens in this scenario?

- An user download the app (the first_open is counted), after using it for a while the user remove the app (app_remove). After some weeks the user decide to download and install again the app.

Althought is not his first time opening the application this user would be like a new one. This is really important for me to manage my stats app. Anyone knows if this second install is counted as a first_open again? Thank you very much.

Hi there,

Looks like this is answered in automatically collected events:

the first time a user launches an app after installing or re-installing it.

This event is not triggered when a user downloads the app onto a device, but instead when he or she first uses it. To see raw download numbers, look in Google Play Developer Console or in iTunesConnect.

And also discussed here.

P.S. If it's not offensive to your culture or beliefs, I'd encourage you to introduce yourself! We are a close-knit family. It's easier to keep that culture strong when we remember that there are real people on the other end of our emails. Getting to know one another by name is a great first step.
