Show a counter for the no of students responses and time elapsed
In academic use, it would be great to be able to see a counter for the no of responses that thave been received and also the time elapsed in the window when you enable a poll. This saves from constantly having to ask "have people responsed" and trying to guess how mauch time has elapsed before closing the quiz.

Option to italicize poll responses
I often teach classes on citation styles, so being able to italicize journal titles, book titles, etc. in my multiple choice questions would be very useful.

Simultaneous live polls or at least copy polls between accounts
My project team has multiple accounts because we sometimes need to have multiple live polls happening simultaneously, and PollEv doesn't support this from one account. Problem is that the polls are now located in multiple places making management of the polls and data tedious, and there isn't a way to duplicate polls from one account to another. There's got to be a better way.

Improve usability of poll interface
The live poll tech is awesome, but the poll management interface could use some improvements for basic usability.
1. Biggest one is please make the group hide/reveal triangles maintain their last position when you navigate away to edit view and back. It currently reverts back to all extended position each time I go back to the poll view screen, and it takes a lot of tedious scrolling and clicking to go back to the place where I was working.
2. Another basic one would be for duplicated questions to appear immediately beneath the one copied - so we don't have…1 vote -
Allow ODBC link to poll data to facilitate custom queries/analytics
Give us a way to link directly to raw data or tabular format. I currently manually pull down my poll everywhere data in your 'pivot table' report format and perform custom query analytics and visualizations in MS Access and Tableau. It'd be nice to be able to set up the link to the poll/survey data once and not have to deal with the tedium of version control and manual steps.

Ranking bar sizes scaled to convey average rank position (and show number)
It appears that the bar chart in ranking polls conveys a simple spread from 1-x, with equal size steps for each rank, and any ties having equal bar lengths. Would like option to display bar sizes that are scaled to indicate the average rank position so you can tell which answers are very close or landslide winners. Suggest a bar size formula along lines of: (max length)*(number of answers+1)-(avg rank position). Another nice feature would be at least to display the average rank position of each answer/bar rounded to the tenths.

Option to turn off access to participant response history
Instructors using PE for exam review do not want students to have access to a log of their questions to share with each other or future classes. Just turning off correct isn't enough, they want to completely make access to their questions banks not possible.

Allow Ranking Polls to have option to show correct answer
We would like to have participants rank the options based on what they think is the answer and then have the ability to show them the correct ranking order next to their answers.

Leaderboards
It would be great if we could add our independent questions from our polls to be included in a Leaderboard. Example: I have a PPT with several review questions and preknowledge questions that are not in a Competition. At the end, it would be nice to recognize those individuals that had the most correct without having to move to the reports.

Would it be possible to make the image bigger on the users screen – taking up half the width ranged left looks so odd?

Would it be possible to save different branded response page / usernames under my profile
Would it be possible to save different branded response page / usernames under my profile as I create a few different ones for different divisions of a client and presently have to delete the current one and overwrite with a newly created one for every different event?

Clearly indicate when I'm logged in on iOS
Clearly indicate when I'm logged in on iOS
I use an iPhone and intend to always be logged in to the app. For the first few weeks, I was taking polls and would check the invisible nav bar on the right to see if I was logged in, then slide it away. Last week, although I was able to answer the poll, I was shocked to see that I was no longer logged in, causing my response to not be recorded in my profile. Had there been some indication on the screen when I was taking the poll that I…

A better "attendance tracker"
Please consider a way in the Poll “Configure” options to a) Auto lock after a duration of time and then b) auto report of a particular group (as user (admin) specified) and finally, c) auto clear of results. If all three could be scripted to execute in that sequence, at the intervals specified, there would be some SERIOUSLY added value to using your approach to attendance tracking.
This would be helpful because most teachers using the approach recommended on your blog are capped at 40 results…it’s yet one more step to have to remember to clear results every time classes…

In competitions, ability to make questions worth different number of points
In competitions, instead of each correctly answered question automatically being worth 1000 points, this value should be customizable, so questions can be worth 100, 200, 500, etc points.
Also, the option of setting incorrectly answered questions as negative points.
15 votesThanks for your suggestion. Our current goals are to try to keep Competitions as simple and easy to understand as possible for both the presenter and the audience when it comes to scoring. We have other features in the roadmap for Competitions first but we’ll definitely consider this as interest grows.

Respondents should be able to see their overall score upon completion of a graded survey
For example, if the respondent were to complete a five-question graded survey, they should see an 'overall score' page after completing the last question. This page should show their score and possibly allow them to retake the test or at least view the questions/answers.
Currently, after the end user completes a graded survey, there is no way for them to know what their overall score was. The administrator can view this information in a graded report, but they must manually pull the data and send it to the respondent.

Competition - set up for over time, not just for one session
Can Competition be set up as a loop? This way we can put up the questions on a monitor and people who walk by can answer questions as they please and over time we can see the winner on the leaderboard.
10 votesThanks for the suggestion. Competitions is our newest activity type and we’re always looking to expand its functionality. We’ll look into this with more interest.

Add attendance export for Sakai
Sakai seems to have some ability to import an attendance report. It would be nice if Poll Everywhere could export a compatible file.

CSV template to import questions for Competitions
I've had good success with Competitions already, but it would be nice if CSV template functionality was added for this category. It's a lot easier to create a poll that way.
23 votesThanks for your suggestion! We plan on adding more functionality to the CSV activity importer, which will include Competitions. We don’t have a timeline at the moment but we’ll keep you posted here.

Open Ended Question Categorization
Hi, I am an independent event manager and I manage a number of medical events across the country. we use your software as a stand-alone program, which works great for our application. Many of our questions are open source questions from the audience being texted into my computer then displayed for later response. During a speakers talks the audience has the ability to randomly pose questions related to that particular presentation. At the end of each presentation, or during a designated QA session we produce, or display the questions for the faculty to review and answer. It works great. The…
