Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Google Play shows an exact lifetime install count; downloads per day are its daily change (measured). When Play hasn't refreshed the count, they come from new ratings and Top Free chart positions. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
61/100
faster than 57% of Education apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
