Apps - How Often?
How often do you download new apps to your Android? How often do you add shortcuts on your homescreens to them?
I personally download 1 or 2 apps a month; I have one home screen set up just for apps I am trying out, I very, very rarely add them to my main home screens. But I have seen people who download apps once a week or more, and others who have never installed one.

I probably download a new app a week, but they rarely stick around. I've embraced folders for homescreen organization and widgets for quick-actions and at-a-glance info:
Dock:
- Dialer
- E-mail/messaging Folder
- Google apps Folder (maps, wallet, play store, youtube, calendar, and MyFitnessPal),
First Screen:
- DashClock as a full-screen widget with add-ons for:
_____- network/cell signal
_____- battery
_____- weather
_____- mail
_____- hangouts
_____- next meeting/appointment
_____- and so-on
Second Screen:
- Agenda widget (formerly called Event Flow)
- MyFitnessPal widget
- Camera
- Travel Folder
- Work Folder
- News folder
Third Screen:
- Full-screen calculator widget

I've got a fair number of apps downloaded at this point, but have basically stopped getting new ones. Definitely less than one a month, lately.
Haven't found anything new I needed, and stopped downloading the 'oh, don't use our web page, use our app instead' apps a while ago and actually have uninstalled a few (IMDB, most recently.)
