Safari mobile on Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch does wonders when it comes to browsing the web. Aside to the lack of Flash support, Safari mobile basically has no peers when it comes to doing what it does best.
At times however, native apps does better than logging in to a web interface. This is true when it comes to applications like Google’s AdSense program. Quicksense tries to fill the gap left open by our folks over at Google.
Fast and easy-to-use, Quicksense makes getting up-to-date information on your Google AdSense earnings as easy as launching the application. Upon launch, the app displays the most critical details first – your current earnings. Further good-to-have info, like earnings from the day before, the current week and month are immediately viewable as well. Also present in this same view are advanced details like the number of impressions, clicks as well as your current eCPM, which stands for “effective cost per thousand impressions”.
If you want further details of your daily earnings, Quicksense delivers. Each row, when tapped, displays a detailed channel earnings. Useful when keeping track on ad placement/channel performance. Quicksense also makes it easy to see a complete day-by-day history of your AdSense earnings. You can even load your entire history, way back until the day when your first opened your AdSense account.
Following our geeky review of iAdSense and Analytics App, we used the same procedure to check on what’s going on behind the scenes when Quicksense is running. As of this review, it is safe to say that Quicksense only sends your data over to Google’s servers. We did not find any calls to other servers beyond that.
If you run a blog or have a web site with Google AdSense ads running, Quicksense may be the right solution for your on-the-go tracking of your earnings. There are a few downsides at the moment. One thing I really like to see is the ability to password protect the application. Useful if you happen to have peers that like to borrow your iPhone or iPod touch and play around. You wouldn’t want them to see how rich (or otherwise) you are. Aside to that, I’d love to see earnings in my local currency, automatically converted from the US dollar that is standard display in AdSense.
Quicksense is available now from the iTunes Store at only $3.99 and is compatible with both the iPhone or iPod touch. I’d say its money worth spending if you constantly need to check your AdSense earnings. iPhone users with limited data plans will love to know that the app actually helps in terms of data usage since you’ll not need to load the entire AdSense web page over and over again.
