About the install figure. What exists is a historical number: more than 25 million Windows installs, reported by Baixaki, peaking between 2009 and 2012. That is the past, it is not the number of active users today — and the project does not publish that number.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the 4.5 out of 5 rating come from?
From SourceForge, where the project has 41 user reviews — most of them published between 2012 and 2020. The rating appears here with the date it was checked, and it is not an average we calculated.
Is Megacubo on the official app stores?
No. The Android app is distributed as an APK from the official website, and there is no version on Google Play or the App Store. The directories listed on this page republish or comment on the project.
Why does this page show old mentions?
Because the history is part of what the project is: it has existed since 2008. Every mention comes with its date and link, and the old ones stay marked as old instead of being presented as if they were from today.
