That article seems super sketchy. They took a 3MB app, increased it to
100MB+, and interpolated the retention changes linearly. They even point
out that the drop in installs was mostly due to negative reviews (since
they reverted the app size and the installs didn't climb back up) and the
reviews were mostly along the line of "WTF is this simple calculator app a
hundred megabytes?".

The Wikipedia app is 39MB and the SDK seems to add one MB per [2] which
does not sound like a big deal.
