What do you like best about Dscout?

You can join and start earning money immediately! It's really easy to use, and most research projects you can participate in on this platform are interesting. The incentives are also pretty high compared to some other research projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dscout?

Some of the surveys and diary studies are not necessarily designed by the right people. Instructions can be very vague or some questions asked seem rather irrelevant. The app can be a little bit buggy and the UI can use definitely some improvement. Videos you record get saved on your device so I have to delete a lot of them (I wish they could just save those videos on their cloud server instead). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dscout:

Definitely consider using it, both as a researcher and participant. I heard about it from a UX researcher and started using it. The data collected from this can be definitely useful, especially when in-person research is not possible (like during the current covid-19 crisis). But as a researcher it's important to learn what it feels like to be on the other end of the research process. That's why I use it as a user and I can learn from all these different projects what methods can be useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dscout solving and how is that benefiting you?

participating in interesting research programs, doing research on my own (diary studies with users, or "scouts" as they are called) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
