| Store | Downloads / day | Lifetime installs |
|---|---|---|
| App Store | – | 5k+ |
| Google Play | – | 5k+ Measured |

How this is calculated
App Store: chart positions and rating growth per country, anchored on its own Android downloads; lifetime from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Google Play: the daily change in its exact install count. The total adds every store.

Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
