    Abstract

    Mobile applications are a ubiquitous part of modern mobile devices. However the concentration of mobile application usage has been primarily studied only in the smartphone context and only at an aggregate level. In this work we examine the app usage concentration of a detailed multidevice panel of US users that includes smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. Thus we study app usage concentration at both an aggregate and individual device level and we compare the app usage concentration of different device types. We detail a variety of novel results. For example we show that the level of app usage concentration is not correlated between smartphones and tablets of the same user. Thus extrapolation between a user’s devices might be difficult. Overall, the study results emphasize the importance of a multidevice and multilevel approach.
