Learn to See Time Spent on Individual Apps on Android

I am used to check my smartphone all the time. And the more I use it, the more often the urge to look at my beloved device hits me, yet I don’t think that I am addicted, at least not yet. A confirmation never hurts though. If you sleep with your phone under your pillow and your all life is there, then you might have a problem and it’s time to face the reality.

A team of Californian developers has thought of an app that helps people track how much they use their phones, and specific apps. I am talking about the app known as QualityTime, so let me tell you from the start that it works in the background to monitor how many times a screen is unlocked, how long someone spends playing games, or which apps they open the most.

Don’t you say that you are not at least a bit curious about what this app can do for you. If you like the idea of getting a unique analysis of your smartphone activities by tracking total usage, screen unlocks and individual apps with hourly, daily and weekly summary reporting options, then here is what you must do:
