Welcome to Samply

Samply supports experience sampling, ambulatory assessment and diary studies. We want to make sending notifications to participants an easy and comfortable task for researchers. The main idea is that you as a researcher are free to use any tool to create an online survey or an experiment. Samply sends mobile notifications through the Samply mobile application, so when participants of your study click on the notification, they open your online study in a mobile web-browser.

Are you a researcher and want to use Samply in your studies? Here is an overview of how Samply works, our publication in Behavior Research Methods, and step-by-step tutorial in English or German.

If you are a participant, you are probably looking for a mobile application Samply Research. You can find in App Store or Google Play.
