By giving you insight into your phone checking habit, Checky helps you become more aware. This awareness can help you make changes to your phone usage, if you feel you need to make a change!
It's also fun to find out exactly how much you are using your phone, and to compare your stats with friends.
If you like the app, please take the time to rate it! It's pretty painless, and it'll keep our boss from making us add those annoying "please rate us" popups.

I’ve had this app for a little over a week now and i thought it was going to be very useful. The only notification i turned off was, “notify me when stops running”. Obviously, i have used and checked my phone at least 10 times yesterday. I have checked everyday and the results aren’t even budging. Still telling me 0 for everyday. Clearly this is working and isn’t worth my time. Just thought i should put out my honest opinion instead of making someone waste their space like i did.
Drains battery

I enjoyed the app for 2 days but i noticed that it drained my battery. I deleted the app and the battery is back to normal.
Don’t bother

This app is a fail. Like not at all. It’s an interesting idea, but one that doesn’t work. I gave it one star but I really think it deserves zero or negative stars. Deleting it.
:/

Ads block content, crash problems

I’m using an iPhone 8s and the banner ad at the bottom of the screen blocks what appears to be a bar graph that would show my daily phone usage. Since I can’t see it, this part is useless. Also, every time I touch the location icon in the upper right corner the app crashes.
Caution: the app won’t work if you disable the location service

If you just want to know how many times you check your phone each day, this app does a good job. Showing you exactly how many times are you swiped your phone open to check messages, respond to notifications. However, you need to enable your location service all the time. Even if this app is just running in the background, it’s tracks your location all the time. Once you disable the locator service the app stopped working. This is very annoying and unnecessary which is why I decided to uninstall the app. Verdict: if you want an app just tell you how many times you check your phone, do not mind the location service being on 24/7, . Then this app is for you.
Good idea, terrible execution

I don’t write reviews but this app is really frustrating. I have an iPhone 7 Plus. This app is difficult to use, doesn’t count unless location services are fully on for it, which results in the app needing to be open at all times to track. This then results in having a blue nav banner at the top of your screen that doesn’t go away without closing the app completely, and that burns your battery like crazy when it’s on. Finally, it didn’t event count accurately. Would not recommend. Needs a lot of R&D.
