PIEL Survey description

The PIEL Survey app is a research survey reader. This app does not deliver paid surveys. It reads surveys produced by researchers. The app is primarily designed to run "in the moment" surveys, also known as Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) or Experience Sampling Method (ESM). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_sampling_method

This type of survey method delivers a more complete understanding of a participant's thoughts and feelings than traditional survey methods. This approach requires exact alarms as EMA methodology requires the survey to be answered even when the user is not currently using the device. The PIEL Survey app has been used by more than 40 universities around the world and results have been published in more than 50 peer reviewed articles.
