Ipsos AppLife is a research app that allows us to connect with you! Our researchers will be able to chat with you directly, post questions, send out tasks and respond to your answers. To participate you need to receive an invite from us that will contain a login and password. The Ipsos AppLife app allows us to conduct qualitative research. The app is connected to a closed web environment, where projects can be created, participants and observers can be invited and where Ipsos can view and download the results. Participants can post different types of responses in a research. For example, text messages, photos with a subtext, videos and audio messages with or without a subtext. A research community is possible. In a community, participants can react to each other’s posts. Reactions placed by a moderator are shown in a different color. The moderator can communicate with the participants through the app or through the closed web environment. Researchers can create a project online and can ask participants to fulfil a couple of tasks. You can, for instance, give participants one general assignment: ‘Keep track of what you cook for dinner for the next couple of weeks’, but you can also choose to let participants post one photo about a certain topic each week. To take part in a research, you simply sign in with your email address and received password. You can, for example, receive a password through a market research company or recruitment agency. This app also works without an internet connection (after downloading the project). This means that participants can, where and whenever they like, take part in a research.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iShopFor Ipsos NEXT holds the better App Store score, 2.2 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iShopFor Ipsos NEXT has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Ipsos AppLife's written reviews are positive against 31% of iShopFor Ipsos NEXT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ipsos AppLife ships an update every 3 weeks, iShopFor Ipsos NEXT every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
