But that’s just barely scratching the surface in terms of the available data on this usage. Sure, we know that people are using apps more than ever before. These two seemingly simple actions are what inspired me to write this guide. But in order to be successful in this space, two things need to happen. This is encouraging news for app developers, app publishers, and anyone who plans on developing an app. What’s everyone doing on their phones? Well, 88% of mobile time is spent on apps. You might be reading this from a mobile device right now. We use our phones at work, at home, on the street, while we’re eating, in bed, and even in our cars. In fact, studies show that the average American checks their phone 262 times per day! That’s once every 5.5 minutes. If you take a second to look up from your phone during the day, I’m sure you’ll notice that everyone else has their eyes glued to a mobile device as well. Now factor in the 1.14 billion tablet users worldwide, which a number that’s grown about 36% over the past six years. App usage and smartphone penetration are still growing at a steady rate, without any signs of slowing down in the foreseeable future. With over 6.3 billion smartphone users across the world, it’s no surprise that the mobile app industry is thriving. Lots of fun moments and manoeuvres.Mobile App Download Statistics & Usage Statistics (2023) That said, overall it's a great show worth watching. That's a clear shift in the writing, and although this shift can be interesting to explore it unfortunately makes the show go from entertaining and fun to increasingly lame and melodramatic. From being a typical aggressive tradefloor with classic macho a-holes, the men slowly deteriorate into goofy whimps in a hedge fund now full of female badasses. Taylor is actually a decently interesting character despite the obvious forced progressivism behind the introduction, and makes enough sense. Prince of course is not Axe, but given the circumstances he did okay. She comes off as manipulative and 'superior', but not in a fun, intriguing way. ![]() The casting of Dave was probably the biggest miss - they should have had more focus on finding someone likeable instead of ticking yet another box. It's too much, seems more like a utopian character for certain writers rather than realistic and engaging. And then we have this over-the-top badass Bonnie character who, as pretty much all the women on the show, always gets the final word and is portrayed as 10x tougher than the guys. Reminds me of how they ruined Donna in Suits - she had her perfect niche as the sassy, quick-witted assistant to becoming a needy, insecure and annoying COO. Her moral downfall is interesting but they never managed to pull her back into an enjoyable character again. Wendy Rhoades was great the first season when things focused on her impressive mental coaching and being relatively objective, but then throughout the seasons slowly shifts into a petty, spiteful, snobby and selfish individual with too much unearned respect and authority. Coming from a character like hers, you get the feeling she's googling references just to be able to say them, as opposed to Wags and Axe. Eventually you can't help but think it seems a bit unrealistic and forced when a geeky book smart woman clearly born in the 80s references movies and music that would be only natural coming from a streetwise guy born in the 60s and 70s. Sacker is a great character although borderline Mary Sue who apparently masters everything with perfect integrity and produces one impressive pop cultural reference after the other. They shifted away from their winning formula. I think the show increasingly turns into this female empowerment focus which in itself is a good thing but unfortunately also makes the show less captivating and entertaining. Degiulio, Hall, Orrin, Ben Kim, Dollar Bill, Spyros, Sacker and Cantu. Many interesting characters and supporting characters. It's a good show, especially thanks to smart writers and great actors - Giamatti and Lewis in particular. ![]()
