Cons

Frequent crashes and overall app instability.
Login/authentication problems and difficult UX (scrolling issues, slow verification codes).

My dad, sister and i participated in the Nielsen ratings for two years from 2023 - 2025. It was worth the time.

The app says that for each week that you wear the meter and earn 400 points or more, you earn a bonus for the week. The word “bonus” implies extra money beyond what you will get for participating. That is what bonus means. We only ever received the bonus money. We never received regular rewards. I asked about that in the chat and they said they would call. After a week, I sent a feedback form. I got a call that same day. He told us that there is no regular reward. We can ONLY earn bonus money and be entered in the sweepstakes. If that is good enough for you, then go for it. Just be forewarned that they don’t use the word bonus correctly.
