Google Analytics

[jogo]

Hi,
I am interested in getting some usage data for my app to know where to improve.
The GA SDK was easy to import, but I am unsure about this:

You must indicate to your users, either in the application itself or in your terms of service, that you reserve the right to anonymously track and report a user's activity inside of your app.

What is the best way to do this?
Show some Alert?

Probably should write a super-long disclaimer like all the other companies do and just bury it somewhere in there.

Maybe try a different analytics service too? I'm not sure Google is "your friend" to a lot of people these days. I personally wouldn't want to see their name mentioned in any game I play. Google wants even more of my info? Nope.

Playtomic seems very good.

Regardless of which service you use I don't think a popup is necessary.

Oops, quoted myself what the %*&?

I tried Playatomic and sadly have to say that it really sucks.
They do not provide .a and are error-plagued as well (hard crash when a request times out because the assign to error and not self.error while error is a retained property)(there whole memory-mangement seems screwed up a bit, when you initialize the application level singleton with an alloc init call) and this gives no confidence in the rest as well.

Google instead was just a .a and a single .h to include and call. And the serverside looks informative too.

Yeah, popup is probably a bit too direct. At the moment a little footer is in the loadingscreen, which is quite fair I think.
