Built for feedback on the go
Mobile Panel is a market research app from Confirmit, now part of Forsta, built for people taking part in organized surveys and research projects. It gives panel members a mobile way to receive and complete questionnaires, respond to diary-style tasks, and stay updated through alerts. Features such as offline-friendly survey access, media-based responses, location-aware tasks, and secure data syncing make it a practical fit for structured studies, though the overall experience still depends heavily on how each project is set up.

Surveys that keep going when signal does not
Mobile Panel is built to make survey participation easier away from a desk. Some projects support offline progress, so users can keep answering questions and upload their responses later when a connection returns. The app also supports richer response formats, including photos, video, and audio in studies that require them. That added flexibility is useful for real-world feedback, although it also means some tasks ask for extra permissions before users can take part fully.
A diary app with a research badge
Push alerts help participants spot new surveys, follow-up tasks, and scheduled diary prompts without constantly checking the app. That setup suits diary studies, travel logs, and other ongoing projects where timing matters. Some studies also use location-based research to trigger tasks tied to a place or activity. At the same time, rewards, invitations, and study flow are handled by the organization running the project, so the app experience can vary a lot from one panel to another.
Quiet on the surface, serious underneath
The app sends participant responses through secure syncing tied to the wider Forsta research platform, which helps keep projects organized behind the scenes. That connection makes Mobile Panel a useful part of larger consumer feedback and panel research programs rather than a standalone survey tool. Its interface stays focused on getting tasks done, and that simple approach works well, even if the app itself feels more functional than polished.
Where it works best
Mobile Panel makes the most sense in structured studies where researchers need steady participant contact, timely submissions, and a way to gather feedback in context. It handles that role well, especially for projects that mix standard questionnaires with media or location prompts. Its biggest limitation is also clear: the app can only be as smooth and engaging as the survey design behind it, so a well-run panel feels efficient while a poorly planned one feels
