My Most Used Apps Widget
Free ThemeAbout My Most Used Apps Widget
The widget shows a list of your most used Apps. The list is auto-magically updated while you use your apps or games. A convenient way to quick start the apps you use most frequently.
The widget measures the time you use your apps and shows the five most frequently used ones. If you play Angry Birds, use your browser, and check your mails often these apps will rank first. You can simply tap on the apps' icons presented by the widget. No need to arrange the apps on your home screen manually anymore.
Note: This is a widget and will not appear in your app drawer. Add the widget to your home screen by long tapping and choose it from the list of widgets.
This widget is part of our research about the app usage on mobile devices and also part of our work as a PhD students and academic researcher. While you use the widget we measure how long the apps are used and how the phone is moved. Using this data we hope to enhance the user experience of current smartphones. Thus, the widget is hopefully useful and science at the same time.

Doesn't appear to work on my Samsung S7. All I get is the app icon on my home page and when I tap on it a list of all my apps with an instruction to untick if I want to hide any of them?

This app worked perfectly fine on my ZTE Zmax. I upgraded to a Note 4 recently and it doesn't do anything. All it shows is the launcher. Such a shame. It was a useful tool.

This app is limited in its features despite numerous requests in reviews to add sort ability based on app usage frequency. Last updated was 2012. Also not sure why this app wants to track your app usage and there is no option to turn that off. Not impressed.

It's not showing any apps on the widget. I'm assuming that it will take some time to populate while it learns what apps i use most. Love the idea and hope it works.

It seemed to work great at first but has become very very inaccurate. Still has apps that I've only used once in the last week and doesn't have subway surfers which I am constantly playing off and on

Hi Guys, it is not working on an updated Nexus 5 for me. It only displays "voice search" and a bunch of "My most used". I kept opening apps for a while, no updates.

Wish there were more sizes for the widget 15 most used ect. Change the text sizing. The calculator shows up but the text is on two separate lines. Anyway pretty good!

When I started looking for a most used app I thought there would be many. It's only this one! And it can easily become perfect. Some tweaking of the alegorithms so that once used apps doesn't push out those that has been used a lot. Also some look and feel features like background color, transparency shape would add a star. Since this is a one of a kind app I really hope it will be updated and fixed in the future.

It essentially does what I'd hoped, but it's very inaccurate. It features apps that I have only used a few times or haven't used in weeks. And it includes apps such as "voice search" that can't be removed via the "remove apps" menu. Also, I wish it was bigger.

I'm not sure when or what caused the problem, but the app is no longer updating it's information. My only options in the widget are "no app started".

Would be awesome if the background color could be changed and you could apply icon packs. Also, there is no option to hide google photos, and no way to see Google+. It's like the widget is getting the two confused.

The only thing I would ask is that a black background is added and extend it by another row. I used this widget on my home screen and it does the thinking for me as to what apps I really should be placing there. It has saved me flicking around hunting for apps.
