Nothing new
There's been nothing new for the past 8 months in terms of surveys from the UCSF Pride Study. Was the project shelved, abandoned or did not receive any funding to continue? I would like to know.
Impossible to us
Data gathered doesn't seem safely stored.
No issues so far
I don't see the benefit yet so I can't give it 5, however it was easy to set up and if I'm helping any LGBT youth out there by giving my opinions and information then I'm glad to do it. The heterosexuals complaining about this app discriminating is totally bogus. This is a study of a minority group anyway, but there are straight people who've signed up as it's indicated in the percentage in the app.

I'd love to help, but...
Nothing will load. You can't do anything until you create a community account, and the page just won't load (and it looks like I'm not alone). Major bug to get fixed.
Good start
It takes a very special person to cry about how an app specifically geared toward crowdsourcing issues and experience of LGBT people is discriminatory against straights. What would you be able to offer as far as insight? Nothing.
Discriminatory
This app is discriminating against straight people. To use this you have to chose yes to 4 questions and if you say that you are not gay they won't let you in. How long would a 1man1women app last with the gay community protesting it? I understand that this is an app who's intended audience is the gay community but straight people should be included.

Fast of all have to Thank, suddenly after I read about this app.
Useless
This is a great concept but clearly they are never going to do anything with it. This is just useless misleading crap.
Fix the flaws
The concept of this app is admirable, and could be very useful. The problem with this app is that it is NOT easy to use. It runs very slowly and stalls much too easily. Ex: I have been trying to "create a community name" but have been competition unable to because it stalls after I hit "get started". I'm disappointed. I would love to be included in this study, but I am leaving the study.

try again...
No matter how I answer the comprehension questions, I can’t get past them. It keeps saying that I’ve answered one or more questions incorrectly. That’s ridiculous.
Good App, but...
Everything about this app has been good. The concept, the layout, public forum, etc. except I downloaded it over a month ago and haven't done/ seen anything new since the very first day I've used it. Considering deleting it if nothing happens soon
Just a bit buggy at the moment...
Okay, I'm taking another star off now; decided to try to delete the app to see if re-installing would somehow possibly help with the community loading issue and instead it won't recognise my email. I'm seriously not going to try signing up again; the process was a total mess the first time and wouldn't that just throw the numbers off? Seriously, a great idea, but done extremely poorly. Fix the problems and then possibly it might start feeling like an actual worthwhile experience to take part in. (Especially since right now probably only very few actually can)
This app is probably extremely late in coming, but it's also a bit buggy...
The biggest problem is it seems to completely lock up when using the community section, which considering that's a major portion of the app (pretty much all it has, really) I can't understand why it would let slide. Then again, it could be locking up on me for any number of reasons (too many posts or people, the connection I'm using, or even my device which is possible since I'm using it on an iPod rather than an iPhone)
The scrolling (when the community section manages to work) is also kind of wonky, but I've noticed that happens with a lot of touch apps.
Another thing is with the comprehension quiz; I knew I was getting the questions right but it wouldn't let me through so maybe just a little more clarification that all sections have to be read rather than a blanket "You got the answers wrong; try again" response (I wouldn't really call it comprehension anyway since at least some of them seemed rather common sense)
(Removing this part because apparently people don't care how science actually works or to try to help, you know, EVERYBODY ELSE to actually see what is an issue and what's just a human problem. BTW, I'm an asexual and perfectly liable to join the study, but won't [or at least won't try to again] due to the issues listed [and this BS against straight people just because the app is "an LGBT+ study only"; they can still sign up and and lie through the beginning] It's nice to see the LGBT crowd is as "accepting" as they make themselves out to be...)

Don't download if...
You're impatient, then this app is not for you. I've had this app for what's going on three weeks now, and a survey has not appeared. The people who have made the app have posted in the community section ONCE, and the traffic has dramatically died down.
They've promised us surveys over a week ago, and none have yet to appear. Of course I'm growing impatient myself, but I'm still holding on to see what's going to happen next... All in all, I am becoming annoyed that nothing has appeared on my dashboard or I haven't been informed as to why it's taking these people so long to roll out interactive surveys and questionnaires. Unless you like to have apps on your phone that take up space and collect dust, then this is definitely the app for you!

Seems pointless
If there is any scientific value to this "study," it's not at all clear. I'm really sad and disappointed by this, because I'm very interested in helping my LGBT community and UCSF is a world class university. I will be deleting this app shortly.
Giddyap, buggy app
I’m all in for the study but after many hangs, crashes and finally after it informed me that I had completed the “create a screen name” activity (when I had not), I deleted the app. I’m not willing to risk signing into the community forum until I know I have a screen name. There is no way I’m logging in and finding out it’s using my real name.
Fix the bugs and I’ll come back in a heartbeat.

Impossible Informed Consent Quiz
I've created numerous informed consent forms for a pharmaceutical research company. I have more than basic reading comprehension. I know what the answers *should* be. Apparently I'm not the only one who is having issues with their endless loop failure quiz. What a shame. You would think a college in the Silicon Valley could make a better app.

Brilliant idea for research platform!
The posts are meant to be about what topics we want to see researched about the LGBTQIA+ community. They are wanting to see what we want answers to, in order to conduct further research. It doesn't have to be health related, but about any aspect that relates to people in the community. It is a psychological/sociological research study, and so that is why they have opened the door to collect demographic research as well as to see what issues are impacting our community the most! A brilliant idea to use an app to collect data rather than just a survey. I can't wait to eventually see the finished product of their research!

Informed Consent
There is a bug of some sort with the Informed Consent "quiz". I am a researcher in LGBTQ health & fully understand the risks/benefits and purpose of this study yet I cannot pass the IC portion. Please fix.
Comp questions
I just cannot seem to get past the initial questions. They're very straightforward but i just cant seem to pass. Im hoping theres an update on its way to fix this. I would love to be able to contribute to my community
Absolutely awful
Downloading this app was such a waste of time. I really got my hopes up to participate in something great... Downloaded it, attempted the test SEVEN times even going back to review to make sure I'm answering them properly and it still tells me to try again. Can't sign up.
