About this app

The Nielsen Mobile App is your opportunity to be a part of the research we do here at Nielsen. Your participation helps us understand how consumers use the internet and their mobile devices by studying the types of websites and apps people like you use. By installing our app on your smartphone or tablet, you’re contributing to the measurement of the digital landscape and are eligible to earn rewards.

Before downloading our Nielsen Mobile App, you must first sign up using our registration form (if you were directly invited to participate, use the provided information to register your account). Once your registration is submitted, you can download this app to your smartphone or tablet.

If you haven’t completed our registration form, this app will not function and you won’t receive rewards. In addition, if you weren’t directly invited to participate or did not already register, you can sign up online for the Nielsen Computer and Mobile Panel.

With your help, Nielsen and our clients will better understand mobile device trends such as app usage, website visits and how much time is spent viewing content. Your mobile activity will be anonymized and aggregated along with thousands of other participating panelists before any reports are shared. Note that our app uses an on-device local VPN to collect high level mobile web and app usage information such as timestamp and URL for media research purposes.

Our app also uses Foreground Services to connect with and locate panelists’ wearable devices via bluetooth (which are provided by Nielsen), and sync with a Nielsen backoffice on a regular interval to collect and process data - both of which are critical features of the app and core components of participation. In addition, the App serves as a tool for panelists to manage their account, including accessing their rewards.

Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app since 2019, and the only problem I have ever had is the occasional error trying to add a new device after getting a replacement phone or tablet, but it is usually an easy fix. It won't make a lot in points right away, but all you do is set the app up on your phone, tablet, or computer and let them do the rest. In 2-3 months, you can easily get rewards, which is faster than some rewards apps.

It’s a decent app overall, but don’t expect to rack up points every week—if you do, keep dreaming. I’ve been stuck at 1,290 points for the past three weeks even though it’s clearly active on my phone (well, sort of). It constantly flips between “lost connection” and “reconnected,” which gets annoying fast. I know they actually pay out—I used to be part of their shopper panel. But after going through a rough time and being homeless for a while, I couldn’t upload anything and got banned for life.

This app is fine, I have had no issues. I have it on my PC, and it works fine, points were slow to add up as it didn't support my phone, but now I have added a tablet and weekly points have doubled. I like getting points and redeeming them for gift cards. I don't have to do anything but use my computer & tablet as I normally would. Then, every week I receive 150 points which I can redeem for gift cards once I have received the necessary amount.
