Smart limits

11,000+ device models profiled to decide when not to record.

Dynamic scaling

Video quality adapts per device, frame by frame.

< 1.5GB RAM

Tested on budget phones with zero measurable impact.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is IV Metrics?

IV Metrics is a session-replay and analytics tool built specifically for mobile games. It records real players as gameplay video — with their taps and swipes overlaid and device metrics like FPS and RAM alongside — so you can see exactly what happened, not just the numbers.

How is it different from analytics tools like GameAnalytics or Mixpanel?

Analytics tools tell you what happened in aggregate — installs, funnels and retention curves. IV Metrics shows you why, by recording the actual gameplay behind those numbers. Most teams run it alongside their existing analytics.

Does IV Metrics affect game performance?

No. Video quality scales dynamically per device, and IV Metrics profiles over 11,000 device models to decide when not to record — so phones that can’t spare the headroom are left alone. It’s been tested on budget devices under 1.5GB of RAM with zero measurable impact on gameplay.

Which platforms and engines does it support?

One lightweight SDK covers iOS, Android, Amazon and Unity out of the box. It records the actual rendered game window rather than reconstructing your UI, so engine-rendered gameplay is captured as real video.

Does IV Metrics collect personal data?

No. Only the game window is captured — no system UI, no notifications, and no IP addresses, device identifiers or fingerprinting. It’s built with GDPR and COPPA in mind, so there are no consent banners to manage.

What exactly does it capture?

Real gameplay video with player taps and swipes drawn on top, plus device metrics like FPS, RAM and model alongside the footage. You can record invisibly in the background or trigger capture from any in-game event, such as StartLevel5.

Is it free to start?

Yes. You can sign up and start recording on the free plan with one lightweight SDK — no credit card required.
