The Forsta Panel App is an application that allows organizations running customer or Market Research panels to offer surveys to their panelists via mobile devices - . Panelists can use this app to register for panels, manage their profile, pause and resume surveys during completion, and track accrued points for survey completion. The app can also receive push notifications about new or uncompleted surveys from the Forsta panel software (go to Push Notifications for more information).
The Panel App functionality is available for Standard and Professional Panels (not Basic Panel) at no extra charge. However this version cannot be customized. For an additional charge you can customize and brand your Panel App to ensure consistency for panelists or customers regardless of how they access your surveys. The customization includes branding of the app icon, names and labels within the app, customized log-in screens and customized survey lists. Contact your Forsta representative for details.

To use the Forsta Panel App, the respondent must download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The app is fully integrated with Forsta Professional and Standard Panels, so you as the designer use your existing panel designer software to create the survey. You will however need a separate, mobile-optimized portal layout. Refer to the separate Professional Authoring documentation for further details on setting up surveys and portals.
