Using the MindLogger app

How do I use MindLogger?

When you open the MindLogger app, you will see applet(s) on your home screen (center image), and tapping on an applet takes you to a list of activities in that applet (right image). You will receive notifications set by the applet’s manager to perform these activities. To refresh the activities, swipe down from the top of the screen.

When you receive a notification, follow the prompts and provide the appropriate information. Switch between screens by toggling the “Back” and “Next” buttons (right image above). When you are done with an activity, you will be redirected back to the list of activities.

FAQs

Why don’t I see any activities in my app?

You probably have not been assigned as a user for any applets, or you need to refresh by swiping down from the top of the screen within the app.

Can I use the same app for more than one user or respondent?

Currently, you would have to log out and log back in again as a different user.
