KEY FEATURES:

Nielsen is a trusted global research leader that has been around for 90 years. Nielsen Mobile Panel is looking to measure the activity of users on mobile phones and tablets to better understand how individuals use these devices.

The Nielsen Mobile Panel is designed to help the mobile industry understand how consumers use their mobile phones/devices, services and content. The panel produces usage information that the industry uses to build, plan and manage their mobile offerings to consumers. Nielson Mobile Panel gathers this information through an application that runs silently and transparently in the background of your mobile phone. This application allows them to measure how you use your phone, including your usage of websites, applications, calling, messaging and other phone utilities. They never listen to or record your communications and they will not release your personal information to third parties.

At this time, you cannot have multiple devices on the panel; just your (one) mobile phone.

Getting Started

Simply fill out the registration, then download and install the mobile application onto your phone.

Get Rewarded for Using your Mobile Phone

Signing up is very simple and easy. Fill out a small questionnaire and then install the app from the Nielsen Mobile app website (it cannot be downloaded from the app store) or complete a profile if you are using a tablet device. The app is available for IOS, Android and Kindle and runs smoothly in the background, not affecting battery life or speed of your mobile phone.

Earn up to $50 in Points a Year!

Just for installing this background application you can earn up to $50 points a year! These points can be redeemed for great rewards on their website. There are tons of items panelists can choose from such as gift cards towards Amazon, Starbucks, Target and many more. Items such as DVD players, cameras and TVs can also be chosen.

Quick Reward Shipment

If your reward must be shipped, Nielsen will send it via USA mail within a few days of ordering it. Rewards should arrive within a timely period.

Privacy of Information

Members who have downloaded the Nielsen Mobile application are guaranteed the highest level of privacy. The app is safe and secure and your information will never be shared of revealed. Information collected is reported in aggregate data about groups, so singular members are never identified.

Mobile/Tablet Data Collection

The background application looks to collect information on your mobile or tablet usage, including:

• The type, name and use of applications and games
• The address and content of the websites you visit
• The date and duration of the websites you visit
• The date, time, and duration of phone calls, but not details on the phone numbers you call or receive calls from

• The battery and network performance of your phone, including signal quality readings, wireless protocol, and information on failed calls
• The file names, types, and files sizes on your phone, but not the contents of the files
• Periodic measurement of your location through GPS (if this functionality is available on your device)

Nielsen has been an accredited Better Business Bureau company since 1946. They hold an A+ BBB rating which means they perform their business practices at the highest level of strictness and security.

Unacceptable tracking of network and device data - uninstalled immediately!

Just as many reviewers have commented, after I install this on my mobile phone it was causing my browser not to work at all. I immediately uninstalled it before it could do any more damage! Not worth it!

You earn points weekly just for using the software but it takes a very long time to accrue enough points to claim any sort of reward.

I have been a member of this service since August, 2015 and have redeemed a $5 Amazon gift card 4 times since. Each time I redeem, the point value required for redemption has increased, from an initial 685 points, to the current 745 points. Added to this is a 300 point digital processing fee.
