## What is rMove®?

rMove® is revolutionizing transportation research by using in-app surveys and GPS data collection to reveal users’ travel habits and needs. 
 
How do you sign up? rMove® can only be used by people who are invited to participate in a study and requires a unique access code to log in. Just download the app, follow the instructions, answer your surveys, and rMove® takes care of the rest! 
 
Why should you use rMove®? As technologies and the way people get around continue to change, rMove® helps organizations understand how, when, where, and why people travel. Participating in an rMove® study helps your community and saves you time compared to older survey methods. 
 
Want to learn more? Go to the rMove® website, which offers answers to frequently asked questions and the fine print you’re looking for. We take your privacy seriously and we are committed to GDPR and CPRA compliance. You can review our complete privacy policy and learn more about how we protect your information on the rMove® website. 
 
And because honesty is always the best policy, we want you to know that rMove® will use your location even when it’s not open (that’s how it does its magic). As a result, you may notice a decrease in your device’s battery life. This is normal and varies based on your phone’s age, battery health, and use.

### 5/5 — Painless survey participation

*2026-03-25*

I enjoy participating surveys, but sometimes the process is so painful. This app made it simple to keep track of where I went and record details for the survey. 

I appreciated how, after a couple of repeat trips, the app would suggest how I would complete the entry without even having to make a selection —  but also gave me the option to override the suggested responses to make it accurate. That streamlined the process for daily trips.

I also thought it was helpful that you could go back and fix things that weren’t quite right from earlier trips, even a couple of days later. That was another great way to help survey participants actually fulfill their responsibilities.

**Developer response:** We’re glad to hear you enjoy participating in surveys and had a positive experience using rMove®. It’s great to know the trip tracking, smart suggestions, and editing features helped make the process easier and more efficient for you. We appreciate you taking the time to share this thoughtful feedback—it helps us continue improving!

### 4/5 — Reward delivered as promised

*2026-03-19, version 2026.02.0*

App was simple to use. Minor glitches, and stops were slightly off. Reward was delivered as promised, but did have to wait a week or two.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2026-03-14, version 2026.02.0*

Couldn’t complete a survey due to app crashing when asking for my home location. 👎🏽👎🏽

### 1/5 — Scam alert!

*2025-11-21, version 2025.09.0*

Don’t waste your time! Did this and completed all requirements, and never received anything! Don’t give up your privacy or waste your time with this SCSM

### 1/5 — What is the point?

*2025-11-17, version 2025.09.0*

Completed the surveys and did the work as requested. I was prompted to send data. Phone is connected to the internet and when I have continuously hit send date- get an error over a 2 day period. Do not use the app.

### 1/5 — Crashes when trying to use location services

*2025-10-24, version 2025.09.0*

App crashes at the home address screen because it tries to bring up location services and bombs out. I’m stuck in a loop with no way to put my address in manually, so I guess I just can’t do the survey.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t correctly record travel

*2025-05-24, version 2025.05.0*

The app didn’t record MILES of my very first trip.  And it doesn’t allow me to correct it.

### 1/5 — SCAM❌❌❗️❗️❗️❗️❌❌❗️❗️❗️

*2025-05-22, version 2025.05.0*

It asks for children’s school addresses which is very weird and creepy, it asks for your location at all times, it asks for all your family members information, and after you do all that it just says “Thank you” and you DONT get ANY money. Do NOT trust that paper in the mail.

### 1/5 — Asking for too much

*2025-05-16, version 2025.04.0*

As the title says

### 1/5 — Be Alert - SCAM

*2025-03-31, version 2025.03.1*

This app masquerades as collecting travel data to help transit authorities. You are given, if you jump through all the hoops, the promise of a gift card. I did all the surveys, but then was told it wasn’t enough. How am I to blame when the app thinks March has only 30 days… You also must surrender a significant amount of personal data. I foolishly participated.
