I Just love The Interface and Simplicity of the App that neatly presents your analytics data .This Solves the problem of logging in to Your analytics account every Now and then or Keeping it open In a New Tab.Here is what Polaris has to offer :

The Dashboard In Polaris

The dashboard Shows you Number of Visits ,Bounce rate The Number Of page views ,Percentage of New Visitors and The average time on site.In Fact it is Quite the same when you login to Your Google analytics account In a Browser.

Visitor Over View and Map Overlay

Final Note

All In all a Beautiful AIR App for Bloggers and Webmasters and I have been looking for Something Like this For quite some time .However If you need Deeper analysis of your Data and Want to customize Advanced Segments then you Need to login to your analytics account because the app is Not Ready to support all the features yet. Expect Some More products and Developments.
