Active user

An "active user" is basically any digital platform's dream guest—a person who actually remembers your app, opens it more than once, and hopefully, doesn't leave it collecting virtual dust. They're the ones who make all your hard work worthwhile, instead of just downloading your app to play "what's-his-name-again?" with it later. 🙄

An active user refers to an individual who engages with a product, service, or platform within a specified time frame, demonstrating that they are not only accessing but also interacting with it. This metric is crucial in understanding user retention and engagement, often broken down into daily active users (DAU), weekly active users (WAU), or monthly active users (MAU), depending on how frequently the product is expected to be used. Monitoring active users helps businesses to evaluate the health and growth potential of their product, enabling data-driven strategies for user acquisition and retention. This measure is also pivotal in assessing the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and the long-term value of customers.
