Say bye to candy crush,Pokémon Go is already the biggest U.S. mobile game ever — and its coming for Snapchat

Step aside, "Candy Crush Saga," and look out, Snapchat.

Pokémon Go has burst onto the scene in recent days to become the biggest U.S. mobile game ever, according to new data from SurveyMonkey Intelligence. 

The app attracted 21 million daily active users on Tuesday, the biggest U.S. audience for a mobile game ever.
