Apple: Pokémon Go app has become the most downloaded App Store app ever in the first week

According to a TechCrunch report based on the information shared by Apple, game developer Niantic's outrageously popular ‘Pokémon Go’ mobile game has recorded the highest number of launch-week downloads ever by any app available in the App Store.

Revealing that Pokémon Go has set a new App Store record in terms of number of downloads, Apple said that the app has become the most downloaded app in a first week ever in the App Store. In other words, no other App Store app has thus far attracted as many App Store downloads in the first week as the Pokémon Go app.

Going by the disclosure by Apple about the astounding success witnessed by Pokémon Go in the App Store, the app has, ever since its launch, steadily been holding the top spot in the Top Free and Top Grossing charts.

The phenomenal success of the Pokémon Go app is all the more noteworthy because of the fact that the mobile game was initially launched in only a few countries, including the US, Australia, and New Zealand.

Meanwhile, in an apparent substantiation of Apple’s disclosure about the instant success of Pokémon Go app in the App Store, analytics firm Survey Monkey has revealed that Pokémon Go appears to have become the biggest mobile game launch in US history, surpassing the 2013 performance of Candy Crush Saga.
