MetricWire is an easy-to-use platform that allows researchers to design complex studies and provides participants with the option of responding using their smartphones and other electronic devices. With MetricWire, researchers from any industry can gather high quality data on the real-world behaviours of study participants without writing a single line of code.
Among the many features of the app is the ability to passively track location. This feature only applies if the researcher enables it for a study you participate in. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. This feature may be disabled at any time within the apps settings page.
