What is the wifi symbol beside apps in Play Store?

This is the first time I've seen this WIFI icon beside an app. Can anyone tell me what it means? Cheers.

From the few Wifi-flagged apps on my own phone, I think it's a warning that the app file size exceeds 25 MB. When you proceed to download it, Play gives you a warning advising you to switch to a WiFi AP instead in order to download it.

Now that Android APK's have increased file sizes, it's something that will be more important in the future imo.

It's over a certain size (it's 25mb), so wi-fi is recommended.
You can still download over your data connection.
