HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (184 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

It’s worth a try

Check this app out. It is helpful with seeing the approximate location of many objects . I use it a lot of the times before or during viewing sessions. There is a lite version, too. I just paid the cost and I have been very happy with it for at least a a decade of use.
