If you recently added the ability to log app events through the SDK, people will need to upgrade to a version of your app that contains this updated code. As people upgrade to the latest version of your app, your app event data in Facebook Analytics will begin to match your internal figures.
One way to validate the data is to only look at internal data coming from people who have upgraded to versions of your app that send App events. You should also verify that you're not conditionally sending app events—this will result in an incomplete count.
If you're using a mobile measurement partner (MMP), ask them to verify your app events integration.
If you're using both an MMP and the Facebook SDK to log app events, this can result in double-counting.
Verify that app events are being logged at the right time in your app. For example, if you're comparing purchase events, make sure that the purchase event is being logged when you're confident the purchase event has actually occurred—as opposed to the point at which a person clicks on a "purchase" button.
Some common causes for inaccurate totals or values per event are:
You need to use the valueToSum parameter to log any numerical values that you'd like to see aggregated as a value in Facebook Analytics. See the App Events docs to learn how to log valueToSum for your specific platform.
