New Delhi: According to a survey, the gaming app ‘Pokemon Go’ is currently installed on more US Android smartphones than ‘Tinder’.

It was installed on 5.16 per cent of all Android devices in the US, and Nintendo stocks today rose more than 20 per cent after the game’s success, just two days after the app’s release.

The data analysis also showed that around 3 per cent of the entire US population who use Android smartphones are users of Pokemon Go, and around 60 per cent of them using it every day.

The gaming app allows players to capture virtual Pokemon creatures through the phone's camera. It shows the players the virtual version of their environment which is spread throughout with imaginary Pokemon creatures, and allows them to explore their area to capture, train, battle, and trade these creatures.

With thousands of users gathering in cities around the globe to collect and train these virtual creatures, the app has shot to great popularity.

But the police in Missouri warned the users to be careful about roaming into secluded and lonely areas. Armed assailants and robbers were using this app to lure unsuspecting victims to such areas, and one woman discovered a dead body while searching for Pokemon creatures.
