App to track App usage?

Does anyone know of an application that will track and record the usage of applications on the iPhone and/or iPad?

Trying to bring a dead thread back to life.

I think an app like this would be very helpful. As users put more and more apps on there phones, from time-to-time you can do some housecleaning by streamlining what is on your first page versus what is on your third or fourth page, or what is buried in a folder, or if you just need to delete it.

Having an app like this is more about turning down the noise, and being able to focus on what helps you be the most productive not only for work, but for your family life and interest as well. Sure people probably have some idea what they click on the most, but it is the apps that may be every other day or once or twice a week that you have no idea if you are really "using" or if they are just a time drain for you.

I say, Apple, please make this app so knowbody has to worry about your terms. Have it keep a tally of how often we are using all our apps, and for how long each app is getting our attention.

In addition, as a parent, I would love to know my child's usage. I think a lot of other parents would appreciate that too.

Glad to see I'm not the only one interested in such an app. It would help me a great deal to know what my kids are doing and when. Also... I would like to know what I am doing... 😉 lol.

It doesn't seem all that difficult to produce and it would aid in storage management. I have the 8 gb iphone 4 and so that translates to less than 4 gb of usable space since ios 6 takes up a major chunk of space and the 1 + gb given to photos.

.... btw... any thoughts on that.... why ios 6 is so huge!? I need to do some searching....

Thanks,

We purchase a lot of iPads and apps for students. Being able to have a data informed sense of how the devices are being used, including frequency and / or duration of app use would be helpful.
