The Canadian polls also showed about 33 percent of users regularly use a banking app and about 25 percent used music and news apps more often. Canadians were tied for third-lat globally when it came to reading the news through an app.
Forty-two percent of Canadian respondents said they were not big app users at all and they don’t use any of the eight types of apps that researchers asked them about.
