Smartphone addicted Americans have something to feel good about. Findings from a new ClickSoftware (NasdaqGS: CKSW) poll show that American smartphone owners paid an average of $174 for their current smartphone, however, the ubiquitous accessory could actually put up to $12,000 in time-saving value in its owner’s palm. This dollar amount represents the 97 percent of American smartphone owners who use apps and report that such usage saves them up to 88 minutes a day. Equivalent to as much as 22 days’ worth of free time per year, smartphone owners should open that calendar app and schedule a vacation to celebrate.
The online survey of 2,120 U.S. adults (among whom 971 are smartphone owners) was conducted by Harris Interactive in April 2013 on behalf of ClickSoftware, the leading provider of automated mobile workforce management and enterprise mobility solutions.
“This survey calculates a concrete value of the benefits that mobility brings to everyday life and it is apparent that the smartphone-toting masses are, in reality, carrying quite a high ticket item, far more valuable than the price they paid to purchase the device,” said Gil Bouhnick, vice president of Mobility, ClickSoftware. “Beyond being a five-figure personal accessory, the smartphone can afford its owner, on average, more than 500 hours per year in savings accrued by using popular apps like email, text and GPS as tallied from our survey data.”
97 percent of smartphone owners who use apps report saving time each day by using at least one of the 16 types of apps listed in the survey. Key findings include:
1. Surprise! People do more with a smartphone than snap pics of their food.
Most Frequently UsedApp Types

Average Time SavedPer Day By Using ThisType of App
Email 50% 35 minutes Text 42% 53 minutes Social Networking 39% 25 minutes Games 26% 18 minutes Web Browsing 25% 33 minutes Weather 21% 17 minutes Maps or GPS 14% 24 minutes Calendar 10% 23 minutes
2. Now we know why men don’t ask for directions.
3. You can swipe and type your way to a more productive self, saving more than an hour of your day.
4. Like a fine wine, your smartphone actually appreciates in value.
5. Personal and professional crossover use may contribute to the $12,000 value.
6. Whether you care more about Facebook status updates or weather updates depends on your age.
7. You’re probably leaving untapped productivity potential in your pocket.
“Given the world’s massive immersion in mobile computing, it has been an eye-opening exercise to measure a facet of its influence on modern America, and certainly, specific professions that rely on mobility to support job performance have the potential to derive an even higher dollar figure than $12K,” added Bouhnick. “As powerful as our survey results prove the smartphone to be, the exciting reality is today’s mobile technology innovation has only scratched the surface of its potential to propel success, both in personal life and in business. The trend of “consumerization of IT” is sure to make workers demand this productivity in their workplace. As the lines continue to blur between work and non-work mobile device use, organizations will seek out cost-effective solutions that empower their mobile workforce and enhance their bottom line while supporting complete workflows required in the enterprise market.”
