Re: Only 12.4 M downloads?

Well to install you need either a device running iOS 13.5 (released 20 May 2020) or later, or a device running Android Marshmallow (6.0 released October 2015) or later.
Play are saying 5+M downloads, which would suggest circa 7.4M downloads from the iStore (actual figures not publicly available), which would seem to indicate that many iPhone users do keep their iPhones uptodate - with the numbers indicating that most users will be Joe Public and not El Reg readers.
It would be interesting to estimate just what the total potential number of compatible devices currently in use, so as to give an indication of market penetration.
