The Screenwise Meter iOS app enables registered panelists' participation in Google’s meter-based market research programs. A panelist is a member of a recruited group of people who have opted to participate in Google research and have consented to install meters and share their internet usage with Google. In return for their participation, panelists receive rewards. When a panel includes physical meters, like Router Meters or TV Meters, this app helps panelists interact with those meters. For example, the app handles checking in to the router meter, so panelists won’t be interrupted when they connect to Wi-Fi at home. It may include a TV Meter Remote so panelists can check in and out from the comfort of their chair. The Screenwise Meter iOS app also provides panelists with the convenience of answering our occasional surveys and agreeing to (or rejecting) terms and privacy policy updates in the app instead of visiting our online portal. For information about your own panel, refer to your research panel membership page.
