HOLD.APP EARNING MONEY STAYING AWAY FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE !
According to several sources, 2019 will be the year of mobile time saver services, where something like this has already been implemented trough IOS 12 and Android. This is why a bunch of guys from Norway, named Maths Mathisen, Florian Winder and Vinoth Vinaya, in addition to being worried by the high reports on distractions caused by smartphone on norvegian students, developed an application available both for IOS and Android that pays you when the phone is in idle without being touched.
As a matter of fact, for each minute spent away from your smartphone you can earn 0.5 points which can be used to buy or get things such as #Amazon Discounts, Vue Cinemas tickets discounts, free Pop Corn boxes, free coffees, free breakfasts from several physical and online stores or you can even make a charity donation just using your points (300 pp can be sent to Unicef to buying some pencils for example).
This is one of the main reason i recommend you all #steemians to download the app and reserve your gained points to Unicef purchases on the app's marketplace !
It's so easy and fun to help people !
I know what you are thinking, how the app get money? Well, from the marketplace too. These aforementioned stores and platforms pays the app to being published on their marketplace in order to get popular and attract new customers, so this is definitively a Win-Win strategy and a winner business model.
Every 20 minutes of smartphone inactivity you get 10 points where a free coffee is available at 300 points and a 5£ Amazon.uk coupon is 1000 points.
Worth saying that timer does not counts from 23 pm so nights can't be used to accumulate points since the timer is up only from 7 am til 23 pm.
Currently, the Hold.app has raised something like 1.4 mln $ and is already widespread used in Norway and UK, where according to some professors of the London School of Economics, this improved the students' concentration percentage of 6.2% .
I think this might be a good bullet against the smartphone addiction who affects many students, teens and young people in general, because, as always happens, a rewarding system makes everything smoother and the usually bitter cough syrup automatically turns sweet.
