Find out how many times a day you look at your phone
Are you addicted to mobile phones? The truth is that smartphonesthey have become almost an extension of our body and we look at them all the time Check if we have a new Whatsapp , view notifications from Facebook or the latest Twitter interactions are an almost involuntary gesture for many smartphone owners. There are studies that tell us the average number of times we look at them in a single day, but the figures do not have to be adjusted to our behavior.If you want to measure more accurately your level of dependence on your mobile phone, there is a free application which helps you to know more details. It's called Checky and it's available for both mobile Android and iPhone Its operation is very basic, but we don't need more to know the number of times we look at our mobile in a day. We tell you all about Checky
The goal of Checky is simple: tell us the number of times we have looked at the mobile in one day The application counts every time we unlock the phone. It doesn't matter if it was just to see the time or to enter Facebook will still count the visit, although the visit will not count if we press the power button but do not unlock the terminal. You don't have to configure anything, once we install the application it starts counting every time we check the mail, take a photo or send a message with our mobile. It only has one option available, which is to receive a notification with the result every day. If we activate it, the application will notify us of the times we have looked at the mobile that day, and it will do so at 12 at night. It also has another feature with a more social function. Checky allows us to share our results and compare them with our friends to see who is the winner - or loser, depending on how you look at it.
The version for iOS has an additional function, and is that it allows us to know, not only how many times we have looked at our mobile, but where we have done it. It registers our location and shows us on the map the places where we have looked the phone.In this way we can see in more detail what our pattern of interaction with the terminal is. At the moment this feature is not found in Android, but it is likely to come with the next updateof the application. With Checky we will realize if we are going a bit too far or if we don't really look at our mobile as many times as we thought. Smartphones are an extraordinary invention that have changed our lives in barely seven years, but like everything else, you have to use them to a certain extentWith Checky you can better control your habits.
