You can use Flurry to see how many time it is been downloaded but you can not get idea about when it got downloaded and who downloaded and who downloaded it how many times.

To do this you can write custom database and whenever your app istalled successfully you can insert the UDID and Installation date in that database using webservice.

I hope you understand what I try to explain.

Just to tell you that apple is rejecting apps if you are storing UDID without device owner's permission so add a message at start up that you are going to save the UDID else Apple may reject it with Ios6 release.

At first launch of your app, you could store the date in the keychain. The keychain item will not be removed when the app is deleted from the device. So when the user re-installs the app, you again check the keychain for presence of your first launch date.
