Haha, iFunny makes you younger than 32.
(Your only other apps being Google Maps and YouTube makes you a married male making 52k+)
Can we guess your age and income, based solely on the apps on your phone?

#72"You are a married lady older than 32 who makes more than $52,000/year" When actually I am a co-habiting (good as married tbh) man who is 31 and makes £120,000/year. So not the greatest guess hah.
Hey I'm actually moving from the US to the UK and finding the salaries are much smaller. Do you work in tech? How did you get that salary?

#73This app made my day, it guessed that I was half my age. The income was way off as well.
But sometimes though I do feel that I am half my age!

#74I have a stock Cyanogenmod phone with Orbot and Signal. I don't otherwise install apps (less attack surface), so I hit "No" to most of everything on the list.

#75"You are a married lady older than 32 who makes more than $52,000/year You're either a married, middle-aged lady ... or you use your phone like one." 19 year old male. The only apps that I have on their list are YouTube and Google Maps.
YouTube and Google Maps are pretty bad signals for Android users since they come preinstalled on the majority of phones.

Yep, identical result, though I'm male, 32+ and 52k+.
I do actually use a very small handful of the website versions of some of these (eg, I have been to Walmart's website, I subscribe to some tumblr RSS feeds, I (very occasionally) use Facebook, and I listen to stuff on soundcloud every now and again)..
I generally don't install an App unless there's a very compelling reason to. Most of the time, the App version is going to irritate me with notifications I don't care about, and ask for permissions ranging from questionable to obscene (some game needs access to view all contacts, photos and use my microphone? yeah... no thanks).

#77Well, looks like we're all single ladies under the age of 32 who make 52k/year

I am a C++ programmer (mostly C++ anyway, I also use C and Java albeit not much which I always say I am a C++ programmer as 90% of what I do is C++).
My salary is quite high for a C++ programmer though but that is because I also have responsibility for a lot of things that would normally fall into the technical project or programme manager role. I help with pre-sales, technical support, architecture design and deployment, operational performance tuning, etc.
Also I live in West London where salaries are generally a bit higher anyway. I mostly work from home with a trip to the office in Vauxhall every two weeks during normal operations. The office is only a 30-40 minute train ride for me though and when we have a lot going on I will be in the office a couple of times a week if needed.
My previous experience and specialisation also help me command a higher salary, I have worked for a few large and high profile companies which does give me an edge as such.
Where are you moving to in the UK? What will you be doing?

haha yep :~). I'm baffled why it thought I was single because I use soundcloud. I know people who are married/dating who use that app. Why would that be an indicator of relationship status?

#80The 61% and 81% accuracy is funny - try to run targeting with that!
The biggest issue with this problem is the data imbalance - how many females over 50 use apps in general compared to 20year males for example. The training data is heavily skewed, which leads to the algo learning that everyone is a single lady under 32 who make 52k/year.
