Google Play Console metric
Android vitals: user-perceived ANR rate
What an ANR is, Google Play's 0.47% bad behavior threshold, the per-device limit and how it affects your store visibility.
Definition
The share of daily active users who saw an "App not responding" error while using the app. Google Play's bad behavior threshold is 0.47% overall and 8% on any single phone model (5% per watch model), measured over the last 28 days.
Where to find it
The Android vitals dashboard in Play Console, or the Google Play Developer Reporting API
The common mistake
ANRs often come from work on the main thread that only stalls on slower devices, so a fast test phone can hide them. Read the per-device rate, not just the overall one.
What to use it for
Finding slow startup and blocking work. Google says Android vitals flags emerging issues after 7 days of the 28-day window, which leaves about 21 days to fix them before they count against you.
