Is there a way to check app "play counts"?

I'd be curious to see which apps I genuinely use a lot. Since the folders have started piling up, I'm losing track of what's truly not getting used.

Does anyone know a way to check this?
 
I was curious about this as well! Well actually I'm greatful it doesn't exist/is hard to find because just the other day my girlfriend stole my iPhone from my lap and tried to find this out! Phew*..I'm glad she didn't find out I listened to Justin Beiber's "Baby" 8299 times... :D :D :D kidding of course but yes I'm mildly curious.:apple:
 
You have to be jailbroken to use it but there's App Stat in Cydia that tracks what apps you used the most, how long you used them and which ones were recently used.
 
For me it's a bit different. If I get 2 software updates in a row for an app I haven't used since before the first update, I delete it. It's easy enough to bring back from iCloud and I don't have to sit through as many updates.
