Optimal helps teams test and validate ideas to create better, more intuitive products and user experiences.
If you’ve been invited to take part in a prototype test on your mobile device, you’ll need to download the Optimal Participant app for Android or iOS.
Getting started is quick and easy:
Download the Optimal Participant app.
Click on a study link in your invite. If you haven't yet downloaded the app, you’ll be directed to the Google Play Store or App Store.
Open the app and enter your study link.
Your link will include optimalworkshop.com/prototype.
Join the study.
You can either copy and paste the link from your invite or scan the QR code.
Set your permissions.
Depending on the study, you may need to grant permissions for microphone, camera, and/or screen sharing/recording before proceeding. This helps to capture your feedback to help teams better understand your experience.
The app may ask for:
Microphone
Camera (front-facing only)
Screen recording
Screen broadcast
You'll only need to allow audio and camera once. Screen recording and broadcasting permissions will be requested each time you participate.
Privacy note: Your data is safe. The app only collects information needed for the study, and all data is encrypted and secure.
Note that this app is designed for study testers and participants. You cannot create new studies or edit existing studies with this app.
