Hello everyone,
We are excited to bring you another update on the first day of October, packed with a new improvement some of you asked for, some bug fixes, and one technical update! Here’s a breakdown of what’s new in the store:
Improvements
Hiding the Previous button in surveys
We’ve introduced an option that allows researchers to show or hide the Previous button in surveys. The Previous button lets participants return to previous questions to change their responses. Read more about this on our Learn website.
Bug Fixes
Unnecessary records in survey response history
We resolved an issue in the participant web app where the responses sent to the server for in-progress surveys included all questions, marking upcoming questions as “unanswered”. This caused unnecessary records in the history of those questions. On the other hand, we ensured our server prevents identical consecutive responses in the history, no matter where they come from.
Character limit for data source name
We fixed an issue where users could enter names longer than 100 characters when adding a new data source, resulting in an error message saying “Something went wrong”.
Uniform distribution of Stroop neutral round texts
We’ve added an error message for cases where researchers enforce uniform distribution for Stroop neutral round texts in round-based games, but the texts can’t be evenly distributed for any reason. Previously, you could publish the Stroop with such incorrect configurations.
Unnecessary loading at the end of Stroop games
We addressed an issue where the last page of the Stroop games displayed a loading bar for an extended period after submitting the responses and before the Finish button appeared.
Technical Updates
Targeting Android 14
We’ve updated our participant Android app to target Android 14 (API level 34) to comply with the latest Google Play requirements. This ensures our app benefits from the latest security and performance enhancements in the Android ecosystem. Rest assured that the Android versions our app supports haven’t changed. On the other hand, as part of this update, we needed to add a new study-setup alert on the participant Android apps for granting full-screen permission, which is essential for displaying Televisit call alerts on a locked device.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support which helps us make Avicenna Research better with each release. We hope you find these updates useful.
