The version on my S5 is a quarter the size of the version on my XCover. Both give the same directions. The app ballooned to 4x the size for ads and features I have literally never used on the phone like street view and “explore”.
The version on my near decade old phone is also snappier and uses less data because it isn’t background loading a bunch of ads for me to tune out.
The logic is that they don’t count ignition costs because they only have to be paid once. So it’s producing more than it consumes, and would eventually start netting a surplus.
If it weren’t for reader mode, a lot of news sites would be unusable.
