App summary

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.

I really enjoy it overall. Easy, passive way to earn points. Only con is the VPN slows EVERYTHING down. I have to disconnect it to search on the internet and do things that need to load Update- I didn't get the weekly points so I guess doing this is a no no. Which is frustrating because I have to choose between the points or actually being able to use apps, internet, watch videos etc. I also noticed it'll disconnect on it's own randomly. Not cool

Disconnects a LOT and/or then bugs the hell out of you roughly every 60 seconds which interrupts and interferes if you play a game, or trying to read or write email, posts, etc. It tells you to click to reconnect but then never takes you to the page you're supposed to go to. Thus, you rarely get the points they promise you so it takes a lot of months, even well over a year, to get enough points to do anything with!

Update: I figured out what the problem was after clearing cache, force stopping, and uninstall ingredients for the umpteenth time. The permissions was somehow the culprit after allowing permissions I had no problem. Surprisingly, support didn't even bother to troubleshoot the app in any way. Love the panel but the support could be much better.
