If your app is 5mb to download but then needs to download 100mb of content your app is 105mb.

I have a couple that are honest sub 5mb apps. Some of my favorite apps on my phone. Limited featureset that does what it says on the tin. Loads instantly. Hardly uses battery at all. I wish everything was like this.
