Pokemon GO has more installs than Tinder on Android, about to pass Twitter in Daily Active Users
Pokemon GO has only been out for a few days and in three countries, but it’s nonetheless doing extremely well. SimilarWeb offers more insight into the app’s performance thus far.
SimilarWeb states that two days after Pokemon GO’s launch, it was already installed on 5.16 percent of all Android devices in the US. That was July 8. One day prior, on July 7, it already saw more installs on US phones than Tinder.
Another important stat to consider is the usage rate. Over 60 percent of those who have downloaded the app in the US are using it each day. To explain it further, roughly three percent of the entire US Android population are users of Pokemon GO. SimilarWeb labels the metric as “Daily Active Users”, and believes it will surpass Twitter in this area as it’s already neck and neck.
Just how long are people playing go? According to SimilarWeb, as of July 8, it was being used for an average of 43 minutes, 23 seconds a day. That’s more than Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, and Messenger.
