Hello everyone,
We are excited to bring you our latest update on 2024-09-17! This release focuses on improvements and bug fixes. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new:
Improvements
VAS questions with decimal support
We improved Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questions in surveys to support decimal values for the minimum, maximum, step, and labels’ lower bounds. You can read more about this on our Learn website.
Multiple texts for Stroop’s neutral rounds
We improved the settings for neutral stimulus rounds of Stroop by allowing researchers to set multiple texts instead of just one. Each neutral round will use one of those texts randomly. Additionally, we added an option to ensure texts are shown an equal number of times. You can read more about it on our Stroop documentation.
Bug Fixes
Expiry time countdown timer for activities
We fixed an issue on both Android and iOS apps where the expiry time countdown timer for activity sessions was not refreshing correctly. This update ensures the timer shows the correct value every time the home page is visited and refreshes at the correct intervals. It also removes expired activity sessions from the page even if the participant keeps the study homepage open.
iOS crash on empty options of single answer question
We addressed an issue causing the participant iOS app to crash when a single answer question contained an answer option with whitespace text (" "). Apparently, such answer options have their own use cases.
iOS crash on reopening surveys with multiple answer questions
We resolved an issue on the participant iOS app where reopening an in-progress survey containing multiple answer questions caused the app to crash. The crash occurred because previous answers were not loaded correctly upon reopening.
Stroop and Matrix Reasoning activities on iOS
We fixed an issue where activities like Stroop and Matrix Reasoning were not working on the participant iOS app, resulting in an error when opening the activity.
