Ive read a study based on data from an app called Locket saying that the average user checks his/her phone 110 times per day. Well I was quite surprised because I think that I check my phone really often and I am far from reaching the average.
Truth to be told, I have other devices that I use quite a lot daily such as the iPad, Kindle, PC and laptop so this is probably the reason why I do not use my handy as often as other people.
I would say I check it twice per hour in peak times.
There is a new app called Checky, designed to make us aware of how often we're using our smartphone.
This very basic app simply shows you how many times per day you’ve checked your phone, and maps out where that usage occurred. Effectively, the app serves as an advertisement for Calm’s flagship application by introducing the concept of technology addiction and behavioral change. The app is also a literal ad for Calm, too, as it serves up an ad at the bottom of the screen pointing to the meditation app, which recently raised an additional $578,000 in new funding.
How about you guys? How often do you check it?
