Mapping responses
Geographic maps. Questions could ask respondents where they are from, for example, and highlight responses on the map.
3 votesYou can do this now! We have a Clickable Image poll type that will allow you to upload an image, such as a map of the USA, and ask respondents to mark where they are from. Their responses will display as Pins on the display and you can see it.
Here’s how:
1. click on red Create Poll button
2. Select Clickable Image along the left side
3. then upload your own image or choose one of our pre-loaded ones
4. And, present your poll!*note – clickable image polls are web only. We do not accept text message responses

Keep grouped polls at the top
Please give me an option to keep grouped polls at the top of the list where I create them. Currently, I create my polls and they show up at the top of my list of polls. Then I group them and they automatically go to the bottom. Then I have to go all the way to the bottom to name the group and then I have to move the group all the way back to the top for easy access. It would be much better if it just stayed at the top.
1 voteHi! Just wanted to let you know we did this :)

visual settings help instructions
how can i change the visual settings on my chart... i can't see the "visual settings" icon you mention in your instructions, which says to go to the top right corner of my screen. (yes, i clicked on the poll i'm trying to change.)
oh, i had to call to your support and found the answer now... but you should change the help instructions... some of them refer to a gear icon which doesn't exist, and i don't think any of them mention that it is a feather icon, nor do they mention that it is in the middle/right side…
4 votesSo sorry about the trouble with the Visual Settings menu! We did recently change it from a “gear” icon to a “Paintbrush” icon. This will be the top grey control button on the top right side of the poll display.
You can see everything the visual settings menu can do on this new video we have here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/videos?v=customizing_poll_chart

marking correct answer during a presentation
My students complete a poll for homework. However, as I am presenting a poll during class, I would like to be able to mark a multiple choice answer as correct WITHOUT having to go into edit mode. (Say, click on √ and then click on the correct answer?) At the current time, I either lose the dramatic effect of the live poll during class b/c students already know if their answer is correct or b/c I have to go into edit mode in the middle of the presentation.
6 votesYou can mark the Toggle Correctness button while you remain in full screen presentation mode. The basics is that you would enable grading on the poll ahead of time. Then during the presentation if you hover your mouse over the right side of the screen the grey control buttons will appear. You can then click the Checkmark to show the correct answer.
We also have some keyboard shortcuts you can use while your presenting if you want to get really fancy. You can read about them here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/788328-keyboard-shortcuts-visual-chart
Hope this helps!

Rearranging polls within a group
When I am rearranging the polls within a group, it is terribly frustrating that it jumps me to the top of my list of group with a message under each one that the group has to be expanded in order to drag to a poll to it. The page should not jump and I should be able to drag/drop by polls within a group without having to scroll back down to the group.
3 votesThis is FIXED! Our very own Brad Lindsey worked over the weekend and knocked a problem we thought would take much longer.
If you go to rearrange a poll now, none of the groups will immediately expand. If you drag the poll over a collapsed group and pause for a few seconds, the group will expand and allow you to drop the poll there.

international language support
Hi there,
Our teachers love using Poll everywhere but not all of them are bilingual.. Any plans to have it in different languages? We will be happy to help with Turkish and French translation / localization.
Many thanks,

Rotating display of text responses
With a large number of text responses, it would be nice if they didn't just scroll off the display, but somehow rotated.
1 voteThe text wall feature for Open Ended polls already does this by default.

Reporting capabilities
Better reporting capabilities! Downloading results, or breaking results into audience segments is hard.
6 votesSure! All of our paid plans will come with our full Reporting suite. This will include our Response Pivot Table which is probably the best one for segmenting results. This will allow you to run a report over multiple poll questions > export that report to CSV (Excel) > and it will be formatted for a Pivot Table for more analysis.

Edit poll titles from "My Polls" page
Edit poll titles from "My Polls" page
1 voteYou can! It’s a little hidden though. If you are on your My Polls page and you hover your mouse over the title of the poll question you want to edit – on the far right there is a little Edit hyperlink. There’s also a Copy hyperlink to copy the poll there too!

latex and images combined -- also survey view??
Question images don't show in survey view? Latex not possible for questions in any view? Also, would like to have the ability to ask questions like
<instructions, written in text> latex: <formula>thanks.
4 votesWe got it! You can now have inline LaTeX in the title of the poll question, in the answer choices, and they will display on the pollev web response page (including surveys) for your students.
You can use the TeX shorthand of $$ to enter your equation.
1. click the Create Poll button
2. Type your question $$ your equation in LaTeX $$ the rest of your question
3. click Create and you are doneYou can see detailed instructions and screenshots for how here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/891297
Remember to start your question or answer option with “$$:” so we know to convert it properly.

Multi-national participants in a live event
Easier ways for participants from multiple countries to participate in a live polling event, by using one simplified number
3 votesUnfortunately, there is not really a great way to do this for SMS messaging. We do have several Regional phone numbers that your audience may use which will work for a collection of countries. However, these numbers are based in the USA, UK, and Australia so anyone who is using a phone that is not based in those locations may get charged an international text messaging fee depending on the cell phone’s service plan (this is not a fee controlled by Poll Everywhere). These regional numbers are available and you can read more about them here if you are interested: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guides/presenter/getting-started#international-polling
Otherwise, we really highly recommend multi-national audiences use our web response method. This is free for all participants to use and will work anywhere in the world provided they have an internet enabled device or data plan.

Clear poll results from PPT slideshow
Please add the ability to clear the poll results from the PowerPoint presentation... and the ability to cut off the responses. For example, a button to click when Q&A time is over so that people can't keep texting in responses.
1 voteHey Jane – we already have both of these! Hover your mouse over the right hand side of the PowerPoint slide and you can lock the poll to stop new responses from coming in, and even clear the results. It works exactly the same as it does on the website with the icons that you can click. Let me know if you have questions and I can send you a screenshot.
Best,

online components
option to use for face to face class polls, but then have an equivalent (or similar poll for online students
6 votesI would recommend using our Survey View link for this type of scenario. It allows participants to respond to multiple questions at once via the web. It only supports multiple choice and open ended polls so far. You can email out this link to your online students to participate. You can read about it in more detail here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guide#multipoll_survey

Math Formatting with LaTeX in Poll Questions
Allow math formatting with LaTeX in poll questions. Although PollEverywhere currently supports this type of formatting in the answer choices, it would be very helpful to also be able to do so in the poll questions themselves.

You can use the TeX shorthand of $$ to enter your equation.
