Hello, I Am An App Addict

November 2, 2009

Like many of you probably I use my iPhone pretty much all the time (I usually keep it under my pillow at night). This got me wondering about what is a normal usage and what is too much, well it seems like I'm not the only one and Flurry, a San Francisco-based mobile analytics company did some research about app addiction. What they actually did is take some measures of how often people use their apps and classified the ones that did more than a 100 times a month as "addicts". Ok, this is completely ridiculous, a 100 per month ? I don't believe that there is something wrong with using an app 3 times a day, they should be aiming for at least 30... Beside the fact that we see a clear increase, I'm far from believing this stands for research. Do you consider yourself an app addict ? And what would be the criteria ? [via GigaOm]
