Interesting use with my Fitbit watch to log how I'm doing every so often with easy, quick check-ins! It was easy to set up and easy to get started. I don't mind contributing to the Digital Wellbeing Study. I get a notification when to do a quick check-in. I click the notification to go to the app, but usually every time it shows nothing and a retry button. If I click retry, then the app works fine. That's the only issue I see is having to always reload it to show the questions, then done fast.
★★★★★
Not sure yet. I am trying to allow the app to access my Fitbit data, but nothing happens after I select "all" and press "allow."
★★★★★
I love that this app exists and Google is working to improve the ease of conducting scientific health studies. As a participant I have found the app to be well-designed and easy to use.
★★☆☆☆
Studies claiming you will receive compensation for your time are directly lying. Both Google and Principal Investigators refuse to respond to correspondence. If you want to contribute altruistic great, but don't expect them to keep their side of the deal when it comes to compensation. UPDATE: Received an email falsely claiming I "didn't meet the requirements for compensation" and I won't be compensated. This was a lie, and I am uninstalling and urging everyone not to use.
★★☆☆☆
The reimbursement listed is poor to begin with, and then they don't pay out. 2+ hours for one study and no payment Deleted
★★☆☆☆
Horrible program, says they'll give you an incentive in exchange for your data then will backtrack on that promise. Essentially stealing your personal private data. Don't download not worth your time
