Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the App Store price pass of Sep 18: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Same day: best DE #2, worst JP #35 · 14 markets collected
US · last 30 days
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
Ratings
Each storefront's own ratings counter and average — separate, overlapping audiences, never added together.
14 of 15 markets; the rest gave no counter or aren't reached yet, not markets where nobody rated it.

Stats
How fast this game is gaining ratings — the activity signal available where a store publishes no sales or install numbers.
Measured from our own daily snapshots, not reported by the store. Deliberately not converted into sales: a one-tap rating's ratio to copies sold is unknown on this platform, and guessing it would be worse than leaving it out.
Sums Google Play only; App Store publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

A realistic game I like how the game is realistic and Nemic creations should make a hantavirus update
Good but not console good This is a very good iteration of plague inc., however I don’t think it’s as good as the console version. I’d love to see triple speed and all of the map/ui improvements from console come to the mobile version someday.
Very good :) :) :) Even today the game holds up pretty good,very cool and fun ^_^
A decade later, it still delivers Destroy the world without ads.
Very fun game It is a good game played it since I was little I have always been interested and enjoyed it
Heavily Over Charged On Purchase Don’t make any in app purchases I purchased all the 7 plague types at once which states clearly is a $2.99 purchase, I’d expect a little tax of course but the purchase charged me almost SEVEN dollars!!! They just robbed me a little…
Trash Doesn’t even load lol
Refresh Add the new viruses that just came out. Do not forget about this game.
Best game ever Very realistic gives a fun time on road trips and is very fun and suspenseful
Annoying I’m giving in my all and I can’t win a single round
