Studying people in real-life situations, such as making music in a vocal group, requires flexible and integrative measurement technology. Therefore, a digital browser-based survey instrument was developed for this study. It was designed to seamlessly introduce questions on participants' mobile devices through external control immediately after relevant events, aiming to achieve high accuracy in self-administered situational questions. In addition, chronological synchronization with supplementary measurements (here eye-tracking and audio recording) was incorporated. Digital features of this web app offer convenient integration into everyday situations, synchronous interviewing of multiple people, and gathering time-based data. Due to the numerous possibilities of the browser-based development interface, various other application areas can be opened up. The contribution of this article is: - App - explanation and offer for use - Feasibility report on the implementation of the app in an eye-tracking study with vocal groups
