So it beat flappy bird and candy crush?

Flappy Birds never reached $500 million. The creator of Flappy Birds closed the game rather early for personal reasons. Candy Crush Saga took more than 200 days according to the article, but it only took Pokemon Go 60 days.

Hunting for pokemon's in real life has been a lot of fun for me and my kids.
