Since 2012, there have been over 3.54 million downloads, with 0.58m since August.   

Whilst this year’s figures haven’t reached the heights of the previous 2 years, it’s curious that the last 3 years all tracked broadly parallel paths, & this year whilst divergent from these, is more similar to 2014-15. Is it cyclical? & do we have to wait 4 years to find out?
