I don't really see how user time-share is relevant unless your goal is to start a social network/messaging system.
80% of user time is spent in those 3 apps, that doesn't preclude very profitable apps from being developed. After all, people spend 16+ hours a day at home/work, but there are still plenty of reasons to open restaurants. Unless you profit directly from time-spent-in-app this doesn't seem like a consequential measurement.
See: Uber, pretty low on the charts for time-in-app but yet a massive business. Ditto Amazon, or GrubHub, or any number of other apps that deliver value to their users (and revenue to their owners) without long sessions.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoTotally agree. The most money I've ever spent is on Tasker and AutoApps family of Tasker plugins, and I rarely even open them - they're the ultimate background apps, but they work, they work well, and they're very much worth the money I paid.
- tmaly 10y agoThere is going to be some reluctance to download a new app. If you can get tons of VC money, and you can pour it into marketing, you can get people to download your app. But I think user adoption is just that much easier if all they have to do is open up your mobile web app in their phones browser. You could always build the app later after you have gotten the traction and growth.
