Every Dollar Counts
conducting a research study. One of the questions the research aims to answer is how money affects the ways people use their time.
The Every Dollar Counts app is designed to help researchers understand the way people use time. It collects anonymized data that can help to infer participant time-use. The app occasionally prompts you, the participant, to answer surveys about how you have spent your time. Answering these questions can provide researchers with valuable qualitative data about time use.
To lower the burden of surveys on you, the app also uses passive data collection methods to infer time use. One example is location data captured via GPS. Knowing where someone spends their time can help determine how it was spent. This method reduces the number of surveys you have to fill out, while preserving your privacy.
This app provides you with full control over the data you provide to the study. You can pause the app operation at any time to stop passive data collection or to skip particular surveys. You can access and review the data collected from your device through your online account. Also, at any time, you can choose to delete part or all of the data you have provided for the study or drop out of the study.

Issues with getting notifications for the activities. It periodically gets repeated crashes and tells at me about not being able to run and collect my data the way it needs to. However the program itself has been great so the basic app does not affect my opinion on the research they are doing. If you want a realistic study on how people react to money now or later, use amounts that equal the wait. Who is actually going to choose to wait 8 weeks for not even $10? Might change the results.
The app started out working fine for me, but now it keeps giving me the error that my data is incomplete because there is an update available for the app. When I go to the playstore to update the app, there is not an option to update. Even when I elect 'enable auto-updates' this app does not appear on my list of apps that have an update available. **I have even tried uninstalling the app completely and re-installing and the same error happens again.**
Very simple and easy to use, but multiple times now, I don't get notified when there is a new survey or questionnaire, despite checking every day. I'll find out, naturally, when it decides to tell me 'this is over'. Otherwise, it'd be 5 stars. EDIT: Got notified this time, but now it won't let me fill out the calendar.
The app is ok but their customer service is excellent.The app has a few hiccups but the hiccups might have to to do with an outdated app or type of phone you use.Anyways tell me which app is perfect and works for everyone and every type of phone that is capable of downloading it?Thought so.
Keeps crashing every minute. Can't collect my data. Came on here to see if I needed to update it and I don't. It's crashes literally 5 times since writing this.
Says there is an update. Gives a button to click to update. Brings me here to Google Play. There is no update. I even Un-installed and re-installed the app and still same problem. Won't let me continue on my "calendar" task.
This app is excellent for what it's intended for. If you aren't part of the Every Dollar Counts study, with all fairness to the developers that work very hard to product such great apps, you shouldn't give this a 1 star review saying it doesn't work. Thank you!
Uses a lot of battery and is glitchy, like you can't sleep for more than 10 hours because it says the input is not valid? (this is for day journal) Edit: now I'm getting around 288 notifications a day from this app... Very frustrating...
Not enough options and yet too many! Make a category, then have a multiple allowance for what was happening during said hours! Just a thought. And navigating is confusing.
Great when it works. As part of the program surveys have to be filled out once in awhile and yet there are times that I lose out on money because my answers will not be accepted no matter what I'm trying to put in.
I wish there were more surveys. The first month I had one almost every week and that was so helpful with the extra 💸 But now I havent had one in a long time...
Every now and again, they put out for an update. When I try to update the app, my damn survey's disappear. NOT GOOD!!!!
Interviewer? Send me an invite? If I receive an invitation from this app or any other i would simply ignore, block, and delete. Going to delete this unless app as well.
Constantly draining my batter failing to sync and crashing making it difficult to use my phone when I need it
Can not set up.a new account ..it says "the interviewer has not sent an invitation to my email and check to make sure my email is correct" which it is
I like the app, but when it is time to complete the calendar, I am not allowed to enter the activities planned for the rest of the day.
After the new update I can't do anything on the app... Before the update everything worked fine butt he new update will not let me even start my tasks what so ever
Its telling me i need an update but it doesn't have a update sticker. I alrdy missed lots of money cause of these phantom updates. What should i do? It happened again
It's real!!! Its simple, and really helps to have the opportunity to earn a lil extra in these hard times .
Worked flawlessly for me until today. Keeps crashing every 2 minutes or so
Every since i updated i can use app i put time slots but cant get pass it Update was a glitch now working
LOVE! But right now it's saying that there are "Server issues" so I can't login.
If you are picked for the program it is a great experience it helps a lot
Great little app and program for making $10 here and there.
After the update today it is no longer opening for me or running at all.
Why is it that In the app it says there is a new version but when I go to the play store it doesn't show one....?
When it comes to punctuality if I were, and update this is a good app to have for research purposes
Its amazing program to do so u can make alittle cash it sure does help when u r struggling to make ends meet when life has been hard thank u for reaching out to me and having us be part of this program
Why have the app if you need an invitation?? Seriously don't even download as you'll just get the following error message "Sorry. You are not invited to join this study. Please contact the study staff for an invitation."
I can't get notifications anymore. I have to email to get the links sent to me. Support is nice but I switched phones and ever since then I can't get notifications about new surveys.
