Office Lens and Application Insights

A real world example of Application Insights in action!Office Lens for Windows Phone http://aka.ms/officelens

Case Study: Office Lens

All saved to OneNote

Application Insights!

The Office Lens team had a bunch of questions after the big launch with OneNote.

Office Lens launched as a small part of the announcement for OneNote for Mac, OneNote API and (now free) OneNote for Windows. They had amazing initial download numbers but….

• Would users return after the announcements were no longer featured on new sites?

• The launch was promoted mostly in English and would they get customers using other languages?

• Which launch method will users use to run Office Lens?

Tracking the launch

Yes! Returning Users

The way to launch the app

Learning… launch from Lenses (in camera app) is rare

The way to launch the app

Majority of users launch Office Lens from Tile (Normal)

Online or Offline when using Office Lens?

Vast majority of devices are online when user tries to save

Did our non-English speakers install even with the English only launch?

Lots of non-English users

Application Insights!

App Insights data has been invaluable to the Office Lens development team.

• Understand which features are being used and how

• Seeing daily and hourly trends• Investigate feedback in reviews• Set priorities for how to improve the next version

of Office Lens
