### 1/5 — not working

*2026-03-24, version 4.2*

I just tried to do day one and i get to the last page and it’s just gibberish. Nothing works can’t click anything so can’t submit.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-03-10, version 4.2*

Went to do a diary for the previous day and was met with an unending loop of connection errors. Restarting the app and logging out/back in do not help.

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible

*2026-01-18, version 4.2*

I have been a Nielsen panel member for about 20 years and love doing the consumption diaries. But this app is completely worthless. You get to do about 3 days, maybe 4 if you’re lucky, and then it just stops working. It is a plain white screen saying “service unavailable due to maintenance downtime, please try again later”. But it stays this way all day for several days, even if you delete the app and reinstall it multiple times. So there’s no way to actually complete the week and earn your reward. Total rip-off.

### 1/5 — Keep getting error messages

*2025-10-15, version 4.2*

This app is so annoying. I’d spend time filling out the survey and then when I try to submit, it says there’s a connection error. I try again, I close the app and open again, and still the error if I try to start a new entry for the new day, it says it will close all the data in my incomplete survey. So I’ve basically wasted my time. This has happens several times and I never get to complete a full week.

### 1/5 — Freezes and unable to use-junk app!

*2025-08-19, version 4.2*

This app repeatedly freezes and doesn’t allow any entries. Deleting and reinstalling it doesn’t resolve the issue. Totally useless waste of time and effort.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-08-02, version 4.2*

Tried using this for a NCP survey.  Took a good deal of time to enter information, then refused to submit the data (gave an error message with instructions to restart the app and try again…over and over).  Very disappointing

### 3/5 — Won’t submit daily dairy on iOS 18.4

*2025-04-08, version 4.2*

On iOS 18.4, Won’t complete survey. Won’t send. Reboot, replace, different device, doesn’t work. 

On iPadOS 17.7.6, works fine.

### 2/5 — Started great, then, it didn’t!

*2025-02-12, version 4.2*

I started this program through my NCP survey membership program. I was told I’d get a $25 Amazon gift card for a week of uploading everything I eat and drink for a full week. The app worked fine for about a week. Then it kept error’ing out, and wouldn’t send my data. It was recommended that I uninstall and reinstall the app. That was a bad idea, because now it doesn’t recognize my login credentials. Not sure if I’ll still get the money I was supposed to get for completing a full week of data captures.

### 2/5 — No connection

*2025-02-05, version 4.2*

Won’t open  says restart  been trying and still nothing my enternet connection is good. There’s a bug in this

### 3/5 — Consumption apps

*2024-07-28, version 4.0*

I wish I knew how to reset the password. I don’t remember what it is and I can’t get in my app.
Be nice if I knew how it was change the password
