React Native Launchpad


Important
This feature is available as an add-on for the Honeycomb Enterprise plan. Please contact your Honeycomb account team for details.

The React Native Launchpad provides a dedicated view for monitoring performance, analyzing user sessions, and debugging issues in your React Native application. Use the pre-built visualizations to check the performance of your application’s overall health or filter by platform. View all errors without writing queries using the Errors view for faster debugging.

Each platform—Web, Android, iOS, and React Native—has its own Launchpad tied to a separate dataset.

The React Native Launchpad uses fields that are directly mapped to your dataset definitions. To learn more about defining these fields, visit Dataset Definitions.

Tip
Whether you are new to Honeycomb or are investigating how you can find the data you expect, we recommend starting with our guide: Get Started with Honeycomb for React Native. This will help you send data from your application to Honeycomb in the most effective way.

Key features 

Some key features of the React Native Launchpad include:

  • Time Range Selection: Choose between relative and absolute time ranges to focus your analysis on specific time periods.
  • Manual Data Refresh: Identify the last refresh time for the populated data and refresh your data manually.
  • Filtering Options: Focus on relevant data by filtering on page, screen size, device type, session ID, browser name, and more.
  • Grouping: Organize data by common dimensions like page, screen size, device type, session ID, browser name, and more.
  • Custom Groups and Filters: Create and save custom groups and filters based on your dataset’s properties. Access this feature through the Filter by or Group by menus in each dropdown.

The big numbers 

As you explore the React Native Launchpad, you’ll notice some prominent numbers that provide a snapshot of your application’s performance over the selected time range:

  • Total Unique Sessions: Count of distinct sessions within the selected time frame, which helps you gauge overall usage.
  • Total Distinct Users: Count of the unique users who interacted with your application during the selected time frame, which helps you gauge user reach and engagement.
  • Total Exceptions: Count of the number of exceptions that occurred within the selected time frame, which lets you monitor application stability.

Select any of these numbers to open a pre-filled Query Builder page for deeper investigation.

Universal charts and tables 

Charts and tables in the React Native Launchpad display your application’s performance data over the selected time frame.

By default, each card shows either a chart or table, but you can switch between both views. For charts, the x-axis contains timestamps across the selected time frame. Select a point on a chart, a row in a table, or a card’s title to explore specific data points.

Sessions Over Time 

Understand user engagement trends by observing session counts over time.

Each bar on the chart represents the number of sessions during a specific time interval. The y-axis represents the number of sessions.

Sessions by Version 

Identify how different application versions are performing in terms of user sessions.

Bars on the chart are color-coded by application version, showing session distribution. The y-axis represents the number of sessions.

The table view ranks application versions by session count.

Distinct Users 

Monitor the number of unique users interacting with your application over time.

The line graph displays distinct user counts per time interval. The y-axis represents the number of unique users.

Distinct Devices 

Track the variety of devices accessing your application, which can inform testing and optimization efforts.

Each colored line on the chart represents a different device type or model. The y-axis represents the number of occurrences.

Top Visited Screens 

Identify the most frequently accessed screens to understand user navigation patterns.

Each colored line on the chart represents a different screen, showing the frequency of user visits.

The table view ranks screens by visit count.

Total Events by Type 

Examine the distribution of different event types to monitor user interactions.

Each colored line on the chart represents a different event type, showing trends of event types over time.

The table view lists event types and their total occurrences.

Event Loop Latency 

Counts of slow event loops. Slow event loops may indicate performance issues.

Line chart view showing slow event loop times over the given threshold, over time.

Average Event Loop Latency 

Average count of slow event loops. Slow event loops may indicate performance issues.

Sessions With the Most Events 

Highlight sessions with high activity levels, which may indicate power users or potential issues.

The table view ranks the top 100 sessions by event count.

iOS-specific charts and tables 

Some charts and tables in the React Native Launchpad appear only for iOS devices, highlighting metrics like startup performance, delays, and unresponsive screens specific to iPhones and iPads.

Total Startup Times Over 1.5s 

Identify startup times exceeding 1.5 seconds, which may indicate performance bottlenecks.

Each colored line on the chart represents a different screen, showing the frequency of slow startups. The y-axis represents the number of occurrences.

App Cold Startup Time 

Analyze the distribution of cold startup times to assess initial load performance.

Colors on the heatmap indicate the frequency of startup durations. The y-axis represents the startup time in seconds.

Hang Time 

Detect screens where users experience delays or unresponsiveness.

Android-specific charts and tables 

Some charts and tables in the React Native Launchpad appear only for Android devices, showing metrics like app startup times, crashes, ANRs, and UI rendering performance specific to Android phones and tablets.

App Startup Time 

See how long it takes your application to launch under different conditions so you can target and reduce delays that impact user experience.

Each colored line on the chart represents a different startup type:

  • Cold Start: Application is launched from scratch.
  • Warm Start: Application is relaunched after being in memory but not in the foreground.
  • Hot Start: Application is quickly resumed from the background.

The y-axis represents the average startup time in milliseconds (ms).

The table view ranks each startup type by average duration, helping you spot performance gaps across different launch conditions.

Total App Starts 

Track how often your application starts and which types of launches–cold, warm, or hot–occur most frequently.

Each colored line on the chart represents a different startup type:

  • Cold Start: Application is launched from scratch.
  • Warm Start: Application is relaunched after being in memory but not in the foreground.
  • Hot Start: Application is quickly resumed from the background.

The y-axis represents the number of application starts.

The table view ranks startup types by count, so you can quickly identify which type is most common.

Slow and Frozen Renders 

Detect when and where the application’s UI rendering is lagging, broken down into slow and frozen frames.

  • Frozen: Frames that stall entirely or render after a major delay.

The y-axis represents the number of affected render events.
