With ‘Hot Topic’ polls, users can vote and see what others are also thinking on the topic. Beyond earning points with gamification features, a proprietary AI algorithm tracks each user’s personalised interactions on the Milieu Survey, ensuring they will receive relevant content to keep them actively engaged.
TRACK - With a personalised profile page, users can view their status tier and track how many points they have earned, surveys completed and activity history. They can earn a streak bonus when they complete at least 2 activities (survey, hot topic or quiz) on Milieu Surveys within 7 days.

Commenting about the app update, Milieu Insight’s COO, Stephen Tracy, said, “The success of our data collection app, Milieu Surveys, was built on our unwavering commitment to user-centricity. Online quantitative research is the fastest growing sector within the market research industry, and yet participants of online studies are often subjected to poor user experiences that create a lot of friction. Our latest app upgrade doubles down on our commitment to offering our users a great experience, while adding exciting new features and ways to collect new types of data that are opt-in and permission-based.’’
