Today we're going to take a closer look at how you use RouteYou. The fact that smartphone use continues to grow should come as no surprise to anyone. When you visit RouteYou, 58% do so via their smartphone. Two years ago, that was only 48%. 

It is striking that in covid times we apparently spend a lot of time behind our dekstop. Perhaps not so surprising given the constraints and the many hours we had to spend at home willy-nilly. 

It's noticeable in manufacturers' sales figures and we see it in it in our user data: tablet usage continues to plummet. Now only 6% of the total. That's almost 1/3 of what it was two years ago. No doubt the larger screens on our smartphones are behind it.
