Add existing questions to a new competition
I was surprised that the questions for competitions need to be added one by one. Come on folks! We need to be able to call on a library of our existing questions and incorporate those into a competition (then edit them if needs be) - in addition to adding new questions if needs be.
Starting a new competition then adding questions one by one by one isn't great!

Visual settings for clickable image - Add an option to replace pin with another sign
In clickable image question type, add an option to change the pin to another image (for example check mark, heart etc') or by uploading an image. Right now the only thing that can be customized in the pin color.
2 votesThank you for your feedback! We do have plans to change the shape from a pin to a filled in circle for better accessibility and readability for the audience. This will continue to allow color customization, but does not include customizing the shape. Although that is a very interesting idea that we'll discuss as a team.

Move QR codes out of Beta
The QR code feature has been in the beta feature for like 3 years now, but is now even more indispensable when students are responding to polls from a mobile device maybe in addition to accessing live teaching remotely on their computer. How about mainstreaming this and making it an easier/default feature for already time-poor and high-stressed lecturers? Instructions for the Beta route: https://support.polleverywhere.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260804261070-QR-codes

Remove/Move "Activity Title Hidden" Message on Response Screen
I am using the option to hide the activity titles on the participants' devices to help encourage attendance. Having the option is great and it is quite effective. Enabling this option, however, puts a fairly large message "Activity title hidden, etc." that takes up a lot of the device screen above the question options, sometimes requiring users to scroll to see all options. Is it possible to have an option to remove this message (or at least display below the answer choices) so that students can see the answer choices immediately and not need to scroll? I don't think users…

Ignore anonymous polls when creating report
Currently, if you select a folder with multiple polls in it to create a report from, if one of them was set to record answers anonymously, the report creation simply fails and tells you that it couldn't do it because there was an anonymous poll. It would make a lot more sense for it to ignore the anonymous poll and succeed in creating a report from the others (and provide a warning message that it didn't include the anonymous polls). Currently, the only work-around is to go into the folder and select each non-anonymous poll by hand. You can't…

Q & A question type - make 'load new responses' refresh button either more contrast or larger
Currently, I didn't realize there was this 'Load New Responses' button as an audience member on the Q & A question after I submitted my response. See screenshot.
Might be helpful to make it larger or a different color or bolder border around button.

Add Activities to Reports
Add the ability to add an activity to a report. To streamline using Poll Everywhere to take attendance, if I could create one report for attendance and then add my new attendance activity to the report and update the report.
Currently, the only way we found to make this work was to create a folder with all attendance activities for the entire semester. However, this ends up showing students as failing because the percentage is taking into account all of the activities - even those never run.
I'd like a simple way to take attendance and sync it to my…

Segmented polls for responses across groups
A colleague described a use case that I think would be great for PollEv but that isn't yet supported. This colleague's goal was to do a "fist of 5" exercise across a large number of participants in a meeting, but to segment that response by teams. For example, someone could select which team they're in and also respond to the question, and the responses could be grouped according to the selection on that question.
Implementation-wise, I think this could be accomplished by allowing someone to add a "segmentation" or "grouping" or similar to an activity's settings for viewing the results,…
4 votesThank you for your feedback! We will definitely look into supporting more robust segmentation as we see more customer interest.

Using Keynote on the iPad as a Keynote Remote to the Keynote presentation on another device
I am often presenting using Apples Keynote and I really like the real-time integration of PollEv results in my slides. Especially nowadays with lots of online presentations I am using my iPad with Keynote as Keynote Remote because I can use the Apple Pencil as marker on the slides. It would be great if the results of my polls would also integrate into slides when presenting via Keynote Remote (iPad) on my Mac.

Make it more obvious that you need to mark an answer as correct
I'm a new user. When I went to create my first polls, I assumed that the answers had all been automatically marked as correct because there were check marks next to each of them. The result was all kinds of problems. My polls didn't work at all.
I didn't realize that I needed to click a check mark to create a green background and mark the answer as correct. That interface behavior is not standard and not obvious.
Suggestions:
Provide two clickable options, with a check mark for correct and an "X" for incorrect. Then it should be far more…

Make it possible to use Poll Everywhere in a Slack workflow, for daily morning poll for example
It would be nice to be able to use Poll Everywhere in a Slack workflow. My team would like to use this feature to launch morning poll asking about the priorities of the day. It would be the best solution for us, rather than a regular post, as it would make it automated (send this question every Monday morning ie) and would be easy super easy to fill for the team.

Support for Searching/Filtering Activities
Maybe I am just missing it I do not see a way to search or filter activities. Just a title based search would be extremely helpful. Please add a search functionality to Activities page.

Answers in multiple choice with Latex parts are shown in much larger font. Why?
Why do answers in multiple choice questions with latex ($$ text $$) parts show up in much larger fonts? There seems to be no way to control that. I notice that, in your online instructions for using latex to do math at https://support.polleverywhere.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260801547070-Math-equations-and-science-formulas, the resulting displayed question has the same problem - the font size for answers with latex is much bigger. Very distracting.

Include poll number at start of screenshot filenames
When I create folders of polls, I put them in the order I want. I then download screenshots of the polls in each folder. When I do so, I want the polls to stay in the same order. In the old way of generating screenshots, the poll number was included at the start of the filename. I would like this functionality restored.

Participation% total for course
Please add a running total for all polls used in the course, students want to know what proportions of polls they have answered so they know how they are doing. Professors are using Polleverywhere for participation. This total participation % should be easy to sync with LMS with a click or on a daily/weekly automated schedule.
91 votesThanks for your suggestion! While we don’t have a running total currently, you can get participation % by:
1. Importing your course roster from your LMS to Poll Everywhere
2. Creating a Gradebook report for each activity you used in class on a regular basis (like daily or weekly)
3. Filtering that Gradebook report by the Participant Group
4. Exporting the Gradebook report to the LMS and selecting to send Participation rather than Correctness.Let me know if that helps. We appreciate your feedback!

Notification when someone requests to join the account

scroll
Make scroll bar bigger when presenting Open Text response questions. Currently when presenting polls on Chrome or Firefox the right scroll bar (see screenshots) is very, very, thin, and difficult to click on to scroll.

Improve Screenshot Options
Your screenshot tool is not intuitive or overly useful. I tried following your instructions to insert activity screen shots into a new PPT, and the inserted slide has blank data.
There is no way to indicate or select a specific run or data set, so if your runs are archived, you can't insert into PPT.
And the screen shot I pull from the Word Cloud activity from the response section isn't usable. The screen shot has the message "no images received" on top the image.
We are holding employee engagement sessions, and asking the same questions multiple times. I was…

Histograms for multiple right answer questions should show % of respondents, not % of responses
When I have a multiple right answer question, I want to know how many of my 400 students chose each answer.
Currently the histogram shows the percentage of the total responses for each option.
I'd love the option to switch this so the histogram shows the percentage of STUDENTS who chose each option.1 voteThank you for your suggestion! We’ll look into this feature as we see more customer interest.
