A good rule to remember when designing surveys is: No one wants to answer your survey (unless they're really really mad or you are paying them). This rule is especially true for in-app surveys. People are using your app to do a job, accomplish a task, or waste time, and your need for data to prove to the Powers That Be that you and your team are doing a great job and deserve a raise is interrupting what the user wants to do. So think very carefully before implementing an in-app survey.

Hello again. I hope you're doing okay and staying safe. The world has certainly changed since we last spoke. I'll try to keep this lighthearted, but a lot is going on, and a lot is not going on.
So you're used to doing all of your research in-person, and social distancing has suddenly made that impossible. You don't even have a lab or an office to use! As someone who views remote research from home as the norm, I can help. Once you get used to doing remote qualitative research from home, you can do it from anywhere. I find it to have worthwhile advantages over in-person.
Previously, we discussed the many reasons for involving people with disabilities in research. Now, let's move on to understanding and interacting with them.
The moral, legal, business reasons for making research accessible.
In a time when we’re all worried and not sure what to do next, we want to help.
