Notice

Some things must be taken into consideration when using the ODIN iOS app. Because of limitations put forward on the iOS platform, some measures must be taken to keep ODIN working properly.

1) Users should avoid clearing (swiping up) the ODIN app from multitasking view. However, if it were to be closed by a user, the ODIN app will notify the user to reopen the app and continue the study


2) Starting with V1.1.0 (7), ODIN now receives some data from the ODIN servers to keep the application alive. That data is sent once every 5 minutes. With this system the accuracy of question firings has been refined from once every ~15 minutes to once every ~5 minutes, thus rules accuracy should be within a range of 0 to 5 minutes.

3) Our testing has shown that iOS can block notifications from occurring if the user does not interact with the ODIN app for a very long time. It would be very beneficial if your studies included actions that required user interactions every few hours (4 to 6 hours seem to be the ideal window between interactions)


4) Device Battery Maximum Capacity in the health section should be above 70%, otherwise ODIN might not work at all. This could be checked by going to Settings  General  Battery  Battery Health



Permissions


For ODIN to run properly, a few permissions must be granted. These permissions are displayed in two batches:

1) On first app launch, before registration, you will be asked to grant permissions for notifications. Press Allow on this prompt.


 
2) After registration you might be asked permissions for the following:
a. Location Permissions: In this case you will get two prompts. Make sure in the first prompt to choose “Allow While Using App”, in the next prompt choose “Change to Always Allow”


b. Bluetooth Permissions, in this case just choose “Okay”

 
c. Motion Data Permissions, again just choose “Okay”


Registration


1) After installation you will be greeted with the main registration page. Here you will have to use the provided coupon to register to the study. After clicking register, wait until you reach the home screen.
 

2) While on the home screen, do not close the app if the app is doing some internal updates (noted by the green curved arrow)
