With PlaytestCloud's survey tools, you can create powerful surveys for every playtest, but the combination of Alchemer (formerly known as SurveyGizmo) together with PlaytestCloud and our tools can help you find the best insights for you project.
Using your own Alchemer survey is available on special request and subject to a set-up fee. Here is the process and some best practices for using Alchemer/SurveyGizmo together with PlaytestCloud.

9. Some tips for survey integration on mobile devices
Alchemer's survey tool has some limitations and in the past we have run into issues with certain question types on mobile devices. Unfortunately there is no comprehensive or complete list available, and we recommend testing your survey on mobile devices in preparation of your study.
The video sentiment question type is currently not supported on iOS.
We recommend testing your survey on multiple devices if possible.
10. Tips for downloading your survey data
When downloading your survey data to review the results, make sure to check Include URL Variables in the settings. This way, you will be able to view the player information that we transmit to your survey, such as age and gender. You can access this from 'Results' > 'Export' > 'New Export'
