Pokemon GO is slowly starting to lose it battle over mobile, according to a report by Apptopia<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result, smartphone users are turning back to old favourites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.<\/p>\n

“Given the rapid rise in usage of the Pok\u00e9mon Go app since the launch in July, investors have been concerned that this new user experience has been detracting from time spent on other mobile focused apps.”<\/p>\n

With the news that the Pokemon craze\u00a0has finally begun to decline, investors in these other mobile players can finally breathe a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n

This data shows that Pok\u00e9mon Go’s daily active users, downloads, engagement, and time spent on the app per day are\u00a0far\u00a0from\u00a0their peaks and on a downward trend.<\/p>\n
