Where it stands
Works in its favour
- In the top install tier on Google Play at 100M+, so the catalogue is broad from the first evening.
- 4.5 across 1.36M ratings — a large enough sample that the score means something.
- The official app carries both ads and in-app purchases; neither applies here.
Worth knowing first
- At ~104MB it is among the larger installs on this site.
- 4.5 is solid but sits below the best-rated apps here, which reach 4.7 and 4.8.
