How it works?

Flow is a free app that analyses the advertising content you hear to generate anonymous and secure statistics on ad exposure.

Behind the scenes:

Flow captures audio advertising signals through the microphone on your mobile device. These signals are encrypted and sent to our secure server for analysis. The app does not record your conversations or collect any personal data.

Why we do this:

This study will provide important data on how often ads are heard in real-world environments - like on the radio, in shops or on TV - so their impact can be measured more accurately.

Your role:

Just keep the app running in the background while you go about your day. No need to change your habits - and your privacy is always protected.

User Manual

  • How it works flechebas
    My app remains inactive. Why? Plus Icon Minus Icon
    If the app status shows as "Inactive", it usually means the microphone isn’t enabled. Try restarting the app. If the issue persists, check your phone’s app settings to ensure microphone access is allowed, then restart the app again.
    To prevent the app from being interrupted on your iPhone, make sure that the power saving mode is not activated as it can limit some functionalities. The app can also appear inactive if the microphone access is deactivated. Launch the app and, if the issue remains, go to Settings > Flow by MIS Group > Microphone and make sure the access is activated.

    My app automatically deactivated. What can I do? Plus Icon Minus Icon
    On iOS, the app will be automatically deactivated as soon as the device battery drops below 20% for battery power saving reasons. To prevent this, make sure to keep an above 20% battery level as much as possible.

    Can Flow work without internet access? Plus Icon Minus Icon
    No, Flow needs an internet connection to send signals to the server. Any time spent offline won’t be counted.

    Can I close the app overnight? Plus Icon Minus Icon
    Yes - as long as you reach 12 hours of activity during the day, you can close the app at night. Just remember to reactivate it each morning.

    My phone ran out of battery and shut down. Is that a problem? Plus Icon Minus Icon
    No, that’s not an issue. Just make sure to reactivate the app once your phone is switched back on.

    My app pauses regularly, how can I prevent this? Plus Icon Minus Icon

    Can I close the app? Plus Icon Minus Icon
    No, if you close the application, it will stop working and recordings will no longer be possible. It will also stop any processes in progress, potentially denying you access to any compensation. To ensure that it works properly, we recommend that you leave the application running in the background.

    Warning: when you close all your applications, make sure you don't close Flow by mistake.

    No, the 30-day period begins the day you first launch the app. Each time the app is reset, a new 30-day period starts.
