auto-close polls
Sometimes we don't want everyone to see the results fly up on the screen until students have entered their response. There should be a setting where the poll automatically closes based on a certain variable.. perhaps when it has reached a certain number of responses or time after the first response.
1 voteSounds like a great use for “auto-stop” scheduling: http://blog.polleverywhere.com/scheduling-polls/

Option to allow users to select existing open-ended entries
When collecting open-ended entries, allow users to instead select others' previously entered entries. This would be awesome for question-oriented polls during live presentations. Thank you!
2 votesGood news! We have a new poll format in beta that performs in this manner. It’s called Discourses and can be turned on for your account by heading over to https://www.polleverywhere.com/labs . This poll format allows participants to make entries and upvote or downvote existing entries.

Have a simple on/off login for presenter to turn off/on polls from smartphone.
Rather than have all of my polls on, I incorporate them into my powerpoint and then turn the poll/on or off. However, the turning on of a poll doesn't always automatically push the poll to users fast enough. I've found I've had to manually do it. Login on a web with a mobile device is cumbersome when your in a lecture hall full of people.
Additionally, I've found that I have to log into EACH poll to modify. If I've already logged in, this on/off login should work for all polls that I can designate to be on for the…

No More Prezi Support
I’m sorry to report that we are dropping support for Prezi.
Prezi captivated presenters everywhere with its fresh zooming approach to presentations. Their vision: Your message can be expressed in a limitless expanse. We were such big fans! We evangelized. In 2010 we brought them in as guest speakers to the Presentation Summit — a PowerPoint lair.
Sadly, their technology and business decisions regarding other companies like ours are not as inspiring. (full article: http://blog.polleverywhere.com/goodbye-prezi/ )

multiple choice
I'm trying to follow you examples. I enter "question #78? a,b,c,d,e" to get a multiple choice answer selection but it doesn't show the way I need it to in the poll. I want it to look like:
78
a

Grading
As a teacher I would like to be able to see the students overall grade for a survey I send out. Currently, I can view their responses and the class performance on specific question, but I can see the students overall performance.
1 voteHi Sam,
This is actually currently available on paid subscriptions! Check out our Grading feature: http://www.polleverywhere.com/features/grading
If you would like to see a student’s overall grade, you would want to run a Grade Report on all of the polls for the class.

Hiding results
Give us an option for hiding the results of the poll. That way in class students won't be influenced by others who vote before them.

Correct a spelling error
When creating a question, You display an example of what the question might be. "Whats your favorite color? Red, Blue, or Green"
Unfortuntately, you are missing an apostrophe in "What's".
Thanks for creating PollEverywhere.

Poll type choice in the quick access
To create multiple choice I have to go the the actual website and create new poll as if it is my first poll. Odd. Can you make the choice available when simply using the dark bar that pops up on screen when merely activating the icon on the desktop?

1 voteThis is currently possible! To format a question as multiple choice, enter it follwed by a question mark and then option choices separated by commas. Here’s an example:
What’s your favorite color? red, blue, green
Give it a try!

have students text in questions
allow students to text their teachers questions they dont want to say in class
1 voteHi Mark,
Thanks for the suggestion!
We actually already have an option for teachers to be able to do this. Teachers can use one of the two poll types for this: open ended poll.

This is done! You can italicize and make text bold in the poll title with HTML tags. You can read how here: http://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/834333

Can you make it so pictures, images, equations and LaTeX can be added into the question?
I see that I can add pictures in for the responses. But, there isn't a way that I see where I can and and pictures into the question. Is it possible to do this?
104 votesA while back you asked if it was possible to insert an image into a question. Well….
We just created a new feature to add images to poll questions! On any Multiple Choice Poll you can add an image along with the question. This will be on the Instructions View. To add the image you can do the following:1. Open your multiple choice poll
2. Click on the visual settings icon. This is the grey button that looks like a paintbrush
3. Click on the Instructions tab within Visual Settings
4. And, click on the blue Choose button to add an image. That’s it!

Larger lecture class size
My class varies from about 580 in the fall semester and just less than 500 for the winter semester. Is there a price quote you can give me for this?
1 voteHi Lisa,
The Individual Instructor Plan can be adjusted to accommodate you (no additional cost)! The default 400 response limit is in place to prevent abuse more than anything. Shoot me an email (steve@polleverywhere.com) if you’d like to learn more!

Allow for the use of superscripts and subscripts within the text.
Math and science teachers would appreciate the ability to type in subscripts and superscripts. The is beneficial for science when writing chemical formulae (i.e. Al2O3 where the numbers should be subscripts) or in mathematical functions (i.e. x^2 which is aiming to describe "x squared").
1 voteHello. This is currently possible for option choices by using LaTex. For the question title you can upload a “logo” image or embed polls in a PowerPoint with a separate formatted title on the slide.

iPad
Make the website poll display fully iPad compatible. Buttons don't function, presumably due to flash?

Restrict responders on each poll in a survey through "multiple editing"
Restricting the responders to registered participants is great for individual polls, but when I put together a long survey of polls for a quiz (I'm a teacher), it takes forever to have to restrict each poll in that survey. Please add the option to restrict participants to registered participants in the "Edit multiple" option. Please.
