Provide an option to hide results until the poll is stopped.
Hi, I love this website. My only issue right now is that I dont want my students to see the results before everyone has voted (so they dont just vote for the popular choice). Thanks!

Update PollEV page from PowerPoint
I'd suggest that when you go from question to question in a PowerPoint presentation that it update the PollEV page. It does this when switching from question to question on the web, but not in a presentation.

Correct Responses
The survey results, when combines into a group, should be viewable by participants AND ALSO should show you whether or not they got the answers right or wrong. Right now, you can only see what they answered, it does not show you whether or not it is correct.

Integrate with Smartboard and or Prezi!
This would be an excellent program for smartboard integration! For example the Smartboard notebook.
34 votesWe currently support Prezi integration.
Unfortunately, SMART does not allow the ability to embed an object that can access a web connection. So, embedded polls within SMART Notebook cannot populate and show update responses, as they cannot connect to our servers. We’re unable to change this behavior without SMART updating their software.
A workaround would be to insert a link to each poll and load them in a web browser.
Also, view Patrick’s response below for an alternate method.

Use poll for restricted voting
I attend a large conference where only delegates are allowed to vote for officers. The votes are manually tallied and signatures are compared. If you had a system where you could register cell phone number and only allow votes from those numbers it might allow for a much smoother voting procedure
1 voteCurrently you can import a list of participants and restrict voting to only registered participants.

Make it so people can respond using A, B, C, D, etc.
I love using Poll Everywhere in the classroom so much that I paid the $50 out of my own pocket. My school just cannot afford a plan. It would be so nice if I could do Custom Keywords. Please, please, please, add this to individual teacher plans.

Allow images
It;d be cool if you could have images within the polls - like, which image do you like most (multiple choice).
40 votesGreat news! We now support images as well as sub and superscripts (using LaTex) on Multiple Choice Poll options. More info here: http://blog.polleverywhere.com/its-what-you-wanted-image-support-math-equati
Thank you for your patience and enjoy!

Is it possible to format questions and answers in polls?
I use the polls for teaching high school chemistry and I need access to subscript and superscript for writing out formulas. Would it be difficult to format these?

Indicate Correct Response - Great Idea for Expanding your Sales in K-12 and Higher Ed!
More than a couple of paragraphs, but they're small, and it's a good idea that's worth a few minutes of your time. I promise!
For educational use - I know that you could entice a larger group of educators by adding a feature to your polls in which the following is possible:
1) The user can identify a correct answer (multiple choice and short answer)
2) The voter receives a response when using poll4.com that indicates whether or not they are correct.
I have seen this feature available in software for Student Response Systems (SRS).
As an example, say you…

Suggestion: download option on Participants list
I use PE for a large university class. I have 7 pages of registered voters, and It would be handy to have a download feature on the Participants list.

More responses for K-12 teachers!
I am a k-12 high school teacher and I am teaching a county wide workshop this week on using your product in the classroom.. I love the idea of your product, but I often have classes much larger than 32 students, at times I have classes of up to 70 students. In the world of budget cuts, our classes are getting larger. It would be great to allow more responses for k-12 teachers to a poll. I know it is a free edition, but I can't use it in my larger classes, which is where I would really like to,…
6 votesHi There,
Thank you for your suggestion. We will take it into consideration, however it is a much more difficult proposition for us to increase the number of responses per poll, as we do actually pay on behalf of all of our Free Accounts for the messaging capacity. Also, as the number of free accounts increases everyday it would be difficult to accommodate all those free accounts with greater number of responses which would equate greater messaging capacity. Thank you for understanding.

Folder structure would make organizing questions easier.
In the context of higher ed, we are using PE for things like test review. It would therefore make sense to have a folder structure on the My Polls screen, such that I could place one set of polls (really poll questions) in a folder called "Midterm Review" and another set in a folder called "Final Exam Review."
