After few months of Scalar being present in the Google Play Store, we decided to check what is the distribution of digits (buttons) used by our users directly in the application. Below we present gathered data that say something, but we do not know exactly what. Maybe you will help in the interpretation? Do you see any relation to the Benford’s law?
