I wish the article did a before and after comparison of the Shazam .ipa file size. Anyone know these figures?

I'm sure there are better sources than what I could find just now, anyway:

Today version 12.8 is 100.3MB [0]. The latest snapshot from The Internet Archive is version 11.10.0 and it is 107.6MB [1]

[0]: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shazam/id284993459 [1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20180614175700/https://itunes.ap...

Ad SDKs have gotten much better about size. We show a decrease of roughly 5MB after the change. The real "hit" comes in the form of battery and network usage.
