Hold App, Rewards Students For Spending Less Time on Smartphones

A new app, Hold, developed by three students from Copenhagen Business School in Denmark, has just been released in the UK.  Hold, rewards students for not checking their smartphones frequently.

The app works on accumulation of points for every twenty minutes spent away from the phone between 07:00 am and 23:00 pm. These points are gathered in exchange for cinema tickets, coffee, popcorn, books, and stationery.

Hold app, is said to encourage students to be more focused and productive at school. Developers are working on a version for businesses.
