The latest version of Miitomo is now available. Version 1.4.0 has gone live on both iOS and Android.

With Miitomo’s update, users can now participate in the new Candy Drop game. There are some other improvements/changes as well.

Here are the full patch notes:

– Added a new minigame, Candy Drop, Drop candy to get game tickets!
– You can now hear friends’ answers when visiting their rooms without using candy.
– You can now choose whether or not you want to receive the Miifoto of the Day.
– You can now select which friends’ answers you will hear.
– Improved image quality when saving Miifotos to your device.
– Brazilian Portuguese is now supported.
– Implemented bug fixes and speed optimizations.

With Candy Drop, Nintendo gives one free play per day (costs 5 Candies normally). The objective is to naturally drop a candy and reach the best reward. You’ll either receive a ticket coupon or a game ticket. Ten coupons are needed for one ticket.

Getting to Pokemon GO’s level cap of 40 is no easy feat. A whole lot of experience is needed to advance after level 30, and between levels 39 and 40, you’ll need five million points.

One Pokemon GO player decided to see what would happen after you reach that far-away mark. Reddit’s “name _problemz” used a bot to hit level 40, but found that nothing extra special happens. The game does give out several items though, including 40 Ultra Balls, Max Potions, Max Revives, Razz Berries, plus four Incense, Lucky Eggs, Incubators and Lure Modules.

The Master Ball does exist in Pokemon GO’s code. You just can’t obtain one by making it to level 40.

Towards the end of last week, SimilarWeb published a new post investigating Pokemon GO installs on Android by country. Australia leads the way at 20 percent, followed by several European countries such as Germany, Portugal, and more. The United States is at 13.9 percent.

One territory worth spotlighting in particular is Japan. Just a few days after launch, Pokemon GO was already installed on 24 percent of Android devices. It’s ahead of Snapchat, WhatsApp, and KakaoTalk. Assuming Pokemon GO’s success continues, it may pass Facebook Messenger (33.5 percent) and Instagram (34 percent).

You can read SimilarWeb’s full post here for a look at how Pokemon GO is affecting other mobile apps.
