It is also in the Play Store. We received an email telling us to use the app in future. It is more labour intensive than previously.

Thank you for taking part in our Food On The Go panel. We'd like to tell you about some exciting new changes to the panel, and what you need to do to begin taking part in the new Food On The Go task using our mobile app.

The new app will allow you to tell us about an even wider range of items that you buy and places that you buy them from. We have summarised the key points about the new task below. Full details and instructions on how to take part can be found on our new website: https://www.fotg.co.uk/app.

Bonus points!

Download the app by Sunday 3rd August 2014, we will award an extra 1000 points as a bonus!

Advantages of the app
With the new app, you can now quickly and easily scan the barcodes of all your items using the in-built barcode scanner. This means that you no longer have to manually enter each barcode number.
You don't need to remember any codes for snacks or shops - now you can just select them from lists.
You will have the opportunity to answer additional questionnaires regarding your food and drink purchases, for which you'll earn even more reward points.

What should I record in the app?
Please tell us about all meals, snacks and drinks (excluding alcohol) that you purchase to be consumed outside of the home.
These items should be items you've bought for yourself or others.
Do not record any free items or items that were purchased for you by others.

How do I download the app?
Simply click here on your mobile phone to go straight to the App Store.
Alternatively, visit the App Store or Google Play Store from your mobile phone and search for "Food On The Go".
Once downloaded, sign in using the panel number given at the top of this e-mail. There is no need to enter a password.
After logging in open the Complete Registration survey and press Submit.
Please visit our website for more details on data usage https://www.fotg.co.uk/app/FAQ .

Rewards changes

We have also made the following changes to the rewards that you will receive for carrying out the Food On The Go App task. Each week you will receive:
250 points for the first occasion that you submit through the app that week.
100 points for every additional occasion that you submit purchases through the app. Up to a maximum of 40 total occasions each week will be paid for.
250 points if you tell us that you did not purchase anything by selecting the 'Nothing Bought' option in the app at the end of the week.
All point rewards will be added to your household's Reward Account as before.

Thanks for your ongoing support. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you any issues or queries and we hope that you enjoy using the new app.

Kind regards,
Food On The Go Helpdesk Team
