Crittercism Announces Support for Android Wear, Introducing Performance and Experience Management for the Internet of Things

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Crittercism, the leader in mobile App Performance Management (mAPM), today announced that it is adding support for Android Wear into its suite of app performance management solutions. Through this first-of-its-kind integration, developers will now have the ability to closely monitor all the elements that affect the performance of apps on wearable and smart connected devices, enabling them to deliver next-generation apps for the Internet of Things (IoT).

"According to Gartner, the IoT market will grow to 26 billion installed units by 2020 – an astonishing rate – and apps for these devices will undoubtedly become a focal point of interaction for end users," said Andrew Levy, co-founder and CEO of Crittercism. "Managing the performance and user experience of these apps and devices will be critical to delivering high-performing apps for the IoT era. Our mission is to ensure that IoT apps are performing optimally and delivering a great end-user experience."

Google Android Wear is an Android extension that enables seamless interaction and communication between Android apps on smart devices and wearables. By integrating Crittercism, Android Wear developers will not only be able to measure the performance of Android apps, but also the interactions and communications that impact the wearable experience. 

Benefits of Crittercism's integrated support for Android Wear include:

• Consolidated views of all app and wearable performance metrics – e.g., crashes, exceptions, performance of cloud services, and performance of Android Wear APIs. 
• Proactive monitoring of Android Wear performance and connectivity issues.
• Crittercism's Breadcrumb capability which enables faster troubleshooting with deep visibility into performance of Android Wear APIs.
