Ratings and reviews

This app is horrible. I used it as part of a psych survey and spent more time on support calls with the lab trying to get the app to work than I did answering survey questions. It also forces you to give it full permissions to your location, microphone, contacts, and files for NO REASON in order to properly function. It's extremely sketchy and needs to be fixed.

The technical implementation of this app is extremely poor on every level. It enters a crash loop if Bluetooth isn't enabled. All of its operations seem to be performed synchronously in the foreground, much slower than necessary, with the appearance of hanging, and interruption of normal device use. The UI is nonstandard, ugly, and not functional (buttons' labels react but do nothing when tapped – only their icons work).

This app is an easy platform to use with many different features. Whenever I run into any problems, I get a response from the team within 12 hours working me through my difficulty and always providing a recommendation to fix it. The survey responses can be automatically uploaded, meaning that you still have data for participants that drop out. I would recommend every researcher who desires to collect momentary data or responses outside of the laboratory setting use this app!
