>A key area is in user retention. Millions of downloads are only part of the battle, as the profitability of any app is dependent on keeping players coming back every day. SurveyMonkey Intelligence has used its data to show that around 7 out of 10 users in the US are coming back to the app the day after they download it. Quoting an unnamed 'experienced mobile games industry executive', they reportedly said "I've never seen anything close to that. Phenomenal."
People actually fell for the "oh, it'll fade soon" meme.

7 out 10 is a "phenomenal" rate of retention (in context, people downloading it then just playing it again the next day)? Really? I'd think the average person would give it at least that much time. Do people normally just download, try it for a couple minutes, then immediately delete it and download something else?
You can not fucking judge used retention after less than a fucking month.
Server issues and lack of content make a game wear out quickly for casual players

I was about to judge people for that, but honestly I've done it. Downloaded what I thought was a simple sudoku/solitaire/whatever game on my phone only to find it had DLC and fucking annoying sound effects n shit.

That just seems ridiculous. Ignoring that yeah time hasn't gone past nearly enough to judge this I don't think, I find it absurd that the yard stick to measure this is people playing it the next day after download. I know people lose interest in stuff fast but damn.

>talking about user retention when it hasn't even been 2 weeks since the game was released
Are these people literally retarded
>tfw when you live out in the country
I still have just a Bulbasaur.
I have a feeling that once I get the opportunity to go to the city, the craze will already die out.
I wish I could go hiking in the mountains nearby and catch some Pokemon but there's no signal.
I'm quite disappointed, they should make it so that people go on road trips out in the country for rares, not just walk around Jew York stopping at every hipster coffee shop and catch a Sandshrew for a half price bagel.
I hope they put more features before they start capitalising on it even more.
