• Tap on the “Allow once” on iPhone/”Only this time” on Android option when you are registering in the app (you will need to allow it each time you use the app)

• If you want the app not to ask you each time, go to the phone settings and allow PUREmotion to “Always” access the location

• From the home menu, click on the orange plus sign button

• Pressing the plus sign will take you to a multiple-screen form consisting of multiple questions to answer:

  • The first question asks about your current feelings: Select from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) to indicate how much you have the specified feeling

  • The second question asks you about your current location and whether you are indoors or outdoors. If you are in a different location, click on “Or type other option” and type it

  • Next, it will ask you about the number of hours that you spent outside today. Choose one of the choices

  • After that, it will ask you about the environment around you. Select 5 if you are satisfied with the quality and 1 if you are not, or something in between

  • Then it will ask you to be specific which qualities of the air you did not like - Select all the factors that you do not like about air quality or “None” if you are satisfied with the air quality

  • Then it asks you two questions about your transportation during the past day. The first question asks you how did you move around your community in the past day. Choose one of the displayed options. The second question asks you, "How satisfied are you with the impacts of the construction as you moved around the community (e.g. delays, detours, potholes, etc.)?" Choose 1 if you are satisfied and 5 if you are not

  • The last screen allows you to write down any additional comments that you have regarding your experience during that day. This is an optional field

• After completing the questions, you will see a “Submit” button - this will generate your payment for the day. You will see this payment noted at the bottom of the home screen in your total rewards earned

• For each daily submission, you will receive a monetary reward based on the total number of submissions that you have

• To redeem the rewards to actual money at the end of the study, you will need to have a minimum of 7 days of submitted information

• At the end of the study period (30 days), you will receive your total rewards based on the number of submissions that you have. The amount of daily reward will depend on the number of total submissions as follows: 1-6 days total: 80 cents/day. 7-21 days total: 1 dollar/day. 22-30 days total: 1.15 dollars/day

You will get bonus rewards for streaks - filling out the form for many days in a row will multiply your earnings by the number of days you’ve completed the form by a rate of .05% per day (for example, a 15 day streak means your total rewards will be increase by 7.5%)
