Provide the APK file for foreign Android platform users who do not have access to Google Playstore
I was recently using your poll in China. We encountered a difficulty for Android users because they are not able to download the android app because they are not able to access Google playstore. As you know Google is blocked in China. We also tried to locate the APK file but it could not be installed. While the web interface can be used, I think we all agree that the app is much more convenient. Is there a solution that you can provide to allow Android based phone users in China to have access to the app?

Use of ENTER in text-fields - Linebreak not possible
Students cannot use ENTER-button, and often submit and have to re-do the questions. They cannot even use line-shift as SHIFT+ENTER.

Choose layout on questions
I need the students to pick one or more images on a page. E.g. "Who, of these persons, have a criminal record". The questions MUST NOT be placed in a long column, but side by side + displayed in random.

Create teams
For the competitions, could participates select a team they would like to be a part of, or better yet, could I assign participants to specific teams for competitions.
17 votesCompetitions is our newest activity type and we’re always looking to enhance it. This one is on our radar, and we’ll look into pursuing it as there is more interest.

Move the previous and next buttons slightly so that they do not block the total results tally.
A great way to use poll everywhere on a very quick basis is to split the screen and have images or questions open in one app and have the poll everywhere open in a second window. However, unless you are in full screen mode, the previous and next buttons block the total number so you can see when your audience has completed the survey. This ought to be an easy fix.

Allow text responses for competitions
Currently, the only way my audience can participate in a competition is if they use their phones web browser. I have found the advantage to Poll Everywhere over other services is that text responses are much more reliable. Internet responses are not dependable for what I do traveling around to different venues. Most of the time everyone is on the same conference wifi and responses won't go through. so I REALLY need a text option for these competitions, otherwise, I will have to stick with the other software I use.

Could you add a feature to "competitions" so that every class I could run one, and the results would be added to a cumulative ranking?
The idea is this, each class I could run my current events competition and get a weekly winner and ranking of ALL participants. As well, as the weeks go by I could produce a cumulative ranking of ALL competitions for the group.

Give instructors in the same group the option to grade each other's questions
This would allow instructors to have TAs assist with grading, but it should be optional within a group because not all instructor groups would be sharing polls for this purpose.

Censor using a custom word list (in addition to usual profanity)
My students often post names of classmates and other professors to make fun of them. I'd like to prevent this problem.

Clarify the two uses of the word "group"
Poll Everywhere uses "group" to mean "group" of questions AND "group" of collaborators. This gets confusing. It would be ideal if these features used different names. How about "Team" of collaborators? or something like that.
1 voteThank you for the feedback! Yes. I and Poll Everywhere agree one hundred percent as we regret that naming scheme as well.
We have begun work on a project around Sharing Polls with other presenters and part of this work will involve changes to our User Group feature. This is a large project for us that will be a months yet, but changing the name is part of our current plan.
So, stay tuned! And, we’ll be posting here and looking for beta testers for that in time.
Thanks again!

Allow group members to copy questions to the entire group of collaborators instead of writing finding each email address one by one.
We have faculty working with a group of TAs. The faculty regularly share a group of questions to TAs and would like to share to all of them by searching for the name of the group rather than searching and adding each group member.
1 voteThanks for the feedback! We are beginning work on a project we hope will address these sorts of collaboration issues. The goal is to allow one person to share a selection of their poll questions with a User Group who will all be able to present, but not edit, those polls.
There’s plenty more to it than that and lots of details, but that is it in a nutshell.
Thanks again for the feedback and stay tuned for more information on that project. We’ll be posting about in the next few months.

Ability to show multiple choice answers one at a time in Powerpoint
Instead of giving all multiple choice answers at the same time, allow the presenter to show a new answer on click. There are benefits to showing students the answers one at time. This might require to be able to activate the poll in ppt manually, instead of instant activation as soon as the slide/poll comes up.

Restricted IP Address -- Taking Attendence
For using polls to take attendance, it will be great if we can add some restrictions to where they the participants located. So the users most come from certain URL to take the poll.

Change the order of text number and poll number
I am getting feedback from many students and colleagues that, when I request them to text their poll response, the language on the slide does not read clearly. It provides the content of the text message (the unique poll number to text with the response) before providing the phone number to text to. On many devices, you have to put in a number before you can draft a text. The ordering of these two numbers results in many people sending a text to the poll number and putting the text number in the content of the text message.

Edit order of groups in the Participants screen
I'd like to change the ordering of the groups listed on the right side of the Participants screen. Possibly drag them up or down after clicking on the Edit button.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion! I actually have never heard of this before, but you are 100% right we do not currently have a way to reorder or customize those at all right now.
We’re generally trying to move away from drag and drop within the application to better support Tablets and mobile devices. However, I will bring up reordering the list for future enhancements to that page.
Thanks again!

Display Survey Results on One Chart rather than by Individual Question
When creating a survey, I would like to display one chart with all the responses to each question, rather than having to click through slides for each question to see the results. For instance, if there was a "check all that apply" option (if there is, I apologize for not finding it) that then can be shown in a frequency chart (10 responses for item 1, 5 responses for item 2).
