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.

It throttled my browser speed. They require you to use a VPN through the app, and I have found that it kills my Internet speed. I'll probably give up on it, unfortunately. Also, the same login info I used earlier in the day is suddenly not recognized. Two problems and I don't really have the desire to put any effort into fixing either.

By far, it is the easiest way to earn points. I receive a reliable and informative newsletter once per month, which also updates my earnings.Points do add up and can be used for a variety of items, including gift cards and sweepstakes. I usually save mine year round for Christmas shopping. Never had a problem with this app conflicting with my system.

Earning rewards is easy on my laptop; however, the mobile app prevents so many sites from loading. It's so very annoying and frustrating. But turning it off on the mobile app only creates mind-boggling notifications to turn it back on. So now, when the mobile app refuses to allow a site through (not blocking for unsafe sites, just hanging up), I have to go to my laptop in order to access whatever site it is I'm trying to view. It's time consuming and often inconvenient.
