How much time do you think people spend on their phones? In a recent article, Inc. analyzed research on phone usage by Nielsen, Pew Research Center, comScore, and SmartInsights. These research powerhouses report that the average person spends more than four hours a day on their phone.
This is not a surprising statistic, considering how many people are bent over their phones every time you look around an office, waiting room, or restaurant. People are now mobile by nature, which means our products must be as well.
If you’re a Formstack user, you already know that all our forms and templates are 100% mobile-friendly.
