Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are going to talk about a great little app
APP DETOX
AppDetox helps you to calm down your mobile app usage, and take a digital detox. You are able to set your own rules for your apps to detox from some heavy usage and stop procrastinating and phubbing. Lock your apps with this applocker. Every time you violate one of your own rules, AppDetox will remind you to take a break and stop your heavy app usage. You can also keep track of these violations in a log. Some people are using AppDetox for parental control of their kid's screen time.
With the increasing adoption of smartphones also a problematic phenomena become apparent: People are changing their habits and become addicted to different services that these devices provide. In this paper we present AppDetox: an app that allows users to purposely create rules that keep them from using certain apps. We describe our deployment of the app on a mobile application store, and present initial findings gained through observation of about 11,700 users of the application. We find that people are rather rigorous when restricting their app use, and that mostly they suppress use of social networking and messaging apps.
we hope you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the viking.
