Nintendo has already revealed that Miitomo has hit three million users worldwide and topped the iOS App Store, but we can now confirm that it has sped past the one million installs marker on the Android Google Play market, too.
Browsing the Miitomo page on the Google Play store, it now says the app has been downloaded between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 times - quite an accomplishment considering it has only been available for a short period of time.

I'm happy this software is a success!
I am still enjoying it for what it is but if they could add a few more mini games so there is a bit more longevity then that would be great. Perhaps adjust the coin payout for answering questions too because right now I think it is a bit on the stingy side when you look at the prices of clothing.
One millions downloads... yeah... then you have others like me who quickly deleted it after realizing how much of a joke the whole thing is.
I truly hope Nintendo succeeds, but this is not for grown-ups like myself, or for those who have a life and find virtual "farming" to be a complete waste of time.
Yes! This app is fantastic for me and my friends (who aren't Nintendo fans), we're all off that inappropriate, immature, teenager demographic and as it is uncensored, we find the charming innocence of the design mixed with our vulgar humour absolutely hilarious and we've been on it practically non-stop for three days straight. I had to stop myself laughing at work.

I mainly use the app for getting the Nintendo platinum points so I can eventually get warioware touched when I save enough! I have a second Miitomo and as I forgot to pre-register I now have to save a little extra to get Twilight princess Picross. My brother had some spare platinum points so he let me redeem them for the Nintendo 3ds themes which helps me out as it would've taken an eternity to get them and they are both pretty nice. In all honestly 1 million..... Isn't too great for android I mean, I'm sure Nintendo are pleased with it but I'm sure when a Mario game comes out the downloads will be far higher than this! Anyway well done Nintendo for 1 million hopefully that number gets bigger!
Miitomo is nice, charming but ultimately - for me - a bit of a laborious chore. I don't have many friends on there, just a couple from Facebook and some people I don't really know from Twitter. I think people's interests are gonna wane with this pretty quickly, especially if those people on their friends lists fall more into the 'associates' category. Maybe I'll feel differently when I have more friends on there
I'm enjoying it... just spent half my lunch break on it instead of here, @NintendoLife! Beware you guys... Anyway I hope it has sustained success and it evolves but so far so good as far as I'm concerned.
I like miitomo and I have 15 friends ish but they are all from my twitter followers and friends of friends. None of which I know in real life... would be more fun if it was but oh well
I like it a lot so far. I feel like I end up talking to people online in ways I wouldn't usually.
I think it's great for those things you like or do that you think nobody else does, then it turns out somebody agrees with you.
I'm really enjoying Miitomo! Don't take it too seriously lol.
It would be nice if they had the singing games in from Tomographic life though!
Still hoping for it actually to be released globally instead of limited in just a few countries.
Will continue to sideload it in the meanwhile on Android. Shame just that I can't connect it to my Nintendo Account and so can't get any platinum points...
I must admit that I'm bored with the app other than to get myself free coins. Unfortunately I've only got one iPhone capable of running the thing so I've got to hassle people for the hearts and comments every day and I really can't be bothered. It's annoying.
I want those free games for my 3DS, so I have to play Miitomo every day... eugh.. I wish this app was on 3DS as I've got loads of those lying around and it'd be easy to cheese it alone.
Every day is a new struggle. lol
Despite the region lock, it reached more than a million.
I wish I could get my hands on it though.
I like it. The lack of ways to add friends is the biggest gripe I have. You also can't send invites.
That's incredible for an app that doesn't work.
I'm enjoying it much more than I expected to however I think I've run out of questions... Anyone else getting the "I was gonna ask you something but I've forgotten" thing?
Well I mean, it was free. So...
Miitomo has made me chuckle a few times and now I have two, yes two actual real life friends on it. Go me! Interestingly both are not Nintendo diehards nor in fact gamers at all and the app has still taken off in their respective friendship groups. This bodes well for the future of Miitomo, oh and all 3 of us are grown children in our mid 30s
I currently have it but I'm not sure how long I'll keep it. It does not seem very deep....even for a mobile game/app.
I actually really like the app. I could understand someone might not like it if all they could add were online friends, but I still have school. Almost every one of my friends has the app and it's hilarious for us most of the time.
The game doesn't even run on my phone even though it meets the requirements. Hopefully they fix this because it looks interesting!
It's guzzling my battery like crazy and only works on Wifi for some weird reason
I was wrong. I didn't expect it to do well outside of Japan. It's great to see it doing well and I'm glad to have been proven wrong here. So far, I've spent quite a lot of time on it and have been enjoying it.
@Phil_Kavadias
I was concerned about the same thing leading up to this, but with that many downloads, I doubt all (daresay the majority even) are Nintendo fans. There's several people here at my office that are in their mid to early twenties and to my knowledge most of them don't own a Nintendo system. Granted, I think all of them are gamers...but it's still progress regardless!
With apps on Smartphones, you download and try, then delete the ones you don't like.
What percent of the million has been deleted?
I downloaded it to see what is was about and it is rather childish. That said you have to be over 13 to download it. So it must be aimed at very young teens.
I bet 50% of the downloads may have been deleted.
Fun and hard to put down.
I liked it more than I thought I would.
Making miifotos is actually pretty fun and you don't even have to have a mii in it to be able to post them either. I was surprised how large they were when exporting one too as I was expecting it to be mobile size only. I like that they included various colored hand shapes so you could give your mii hands if you wanted to (like a thumbs up)
While the questions are a bit repetitive, and sometimes they just outright repeat the question I know I answered already, there's more wiggle room than I was expecting. I've seen some pretty amusing comment threads already. Hopefully they'll add a larger variety in the future though. I was waiting for a favorite movie quote question for example and didn't see any yet.
I like the Mii Drop idea, and I hope they'll add more mini games like that later on. Just wish there wasn't so much candy though, I'd rather have a smaller clothing option than that.
I love all the customization options they have, and I'd like it if they expanded it to rooms in the future like in Tomodachi life, especially since your friends can visit your room too.
I find adding a bunch of people (through asking each other to follow each other on twitter on miitomo sites) actually helped, as while some aren't as close, I've run into people with similar interests I wouldn't have met otherwise. Also makes getting those daily goals easier for those only in it for that. I've already got Zelda picross, but I still check in daily to see what's going on.
The excitement is kinda wearing off but its still fun to check out here and there.
I'm actually enjoying it. Got "Warioware", and a DK theme for my 3DS for free. The platinum points are quite generous.
My wife almost has enough for "Zelda Picross" now, as well. Not too shabby for launch, but they'll need to add new content quickly to make it interesting.
I can only hope they have expanded features almost finished and not just "cooking". I can't see myself playing it in a month if this is the full experience.
So far its enjoyable, but since I don't have Twitter or Facebook I think the thrill might wear off soon. I'm already playing tomadachi life, so this app is like a watered down version. The clothes are keeping me interested though.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It is annoying that we've to use Twitter and Facebbok to get friends on this. I don't have any close friends that are interested in Nintendo anymore nevermind Miitomo. It is annoying that the list of friends from my Wii U can't be imported.
It's a cute app. Don't know how much I'll use it in the long run, but hey, it's free. Besides, the bar for F2P mobile games is remarkably low.
I love Miitomo (30 here), it simple and to the point without all the trash and crap that is spewed on all other forms of social media.
The 4 best parts of this App are"
1) Mii outfits
2) Mii Drop
3) MiiFoto
4) Platinum/Miitomo coins
This is the only reason why I use this app daily.
I do still get a chuckle out of the responses.
If they ever update the app to allow you to decorate your room, then I'll go crazy decorating my digital room.
Until then Miitomo will just be a goofy App that I spend ~15 minutes a day interacting on.
Though Sonic Dash 2 has womped in it's first week of downloads by a huge amount.
This app is an empty Tomodachi Life. It should be easier to add friends (you should be able to add by username, not just face-to-face and facebook).
For an app that's free, it's pretty decent. Not much too it, though, besides answering questions and changing clothes...
I'm finding that I don't have time to use Miitomo to its max capacity. I'm glad Nintendo is receiving success through this and hope that it does garner people back into the brand.
@ennan Same here. Guess we're just gonna have to wait until Nintendo releases more questions.
