Yahoo data quantifies Android usage

This infographic from Yahoo is tiny but shows some interesting data that they have learned from users of their Android appĀ Yahoo Aviate Launcher. The app automatically adjusts with the time of day to provide shortcuts to the apps you are likely to want. A side benefit of having that information, they can aggregate it across users to find trends such as people launching the clock app near bedtime to set their alarms, weather and calendar apps in the morning as they figure out what to wear for the day, and increasing launches of Netflix as evening arrives and people wind down with some entertainment.

Yahoo Aviate has teamed up with the data scientists at Yahoo Labs to better understand how Aviate users interact with their phones each day.
