Pokemon GO isn’t slowing down, and it’s continuing to reach new milestones. Survey Monkey now reports that the app is the biggest mobile game in U.S. history, based on daily active users. It apparently attracted just under 21 million daily active users as of yesterday.

Within a day, Pokemon GO surpassed Slither.io and Clash Royale, the latter of which was the biggest game of 2016. It also took down the previous record holder Candy Crush. Note that Candy Crush was said to have 93 million total daily active users at its peak, but that was based on all countries and devices. Survey Monkey compared both apps on the basis of U.S. smartphone audience.

SurveyMonkey goes on to say that, given what we’ve seen thus far, Pokemon GO may pass Snapchat on Android very soon. It also speculates that it “could surpass Google Maps itself as the largest user of Alphabet’s mapping data.”
