Do you know some way to stop referral spam appear in google analytics in an ios app? What I am already doing is adding an exclude filter by domain, but I need to constantly update those filters as new domains appear very often, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You can use a valid hostname filter this will prevent most of the referrer spam from showing in your GA, and it requires a lot less maintenance. You can see more details here https://stackoverflow.com/a/29717606/3197362

And just as a tip to exclude referrals you shouldn't use domain, google recommends using Campaign Source

    Ok, that's good if we are talking about web, but this is an ios app, so I can't exclude that traffic in that way, any suggestions? – Chack May 02 '15 at 09:05
