List multiple clickable polls under one link and let my students pick which to answer.
Hello, I just signed up at pollev.com/username. I entered one just for fun to test it. Since I teach multiple courses to different levels, is there a way to keep the link like a homepage, where my freshman, can click the poll labeled with a poll that has the day's date and freshman in parenthesis 7.17.13FRESHMAN or 7.17.13SOPHOMORE
6 votesWith our new and improved Surveys feature you can have multiple questions (including clickable image polls) running simultaneously on your pollev.com/USER page

iPad issue
I am testing your site before sharing it with my students. Each student has an iPad. I want them to use iMessage (the text message app on the iPad) to participate. When I tried to type in the "send to" number, the iPad won't recognize it. I get a "Cannot Send Message This person cannot be reached by iMessage at this time."
How can I use iMessage with this website?

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/

Can we integrate this software with the Desire2Learn Learning Management System?
It would be nice to have a quick way to poll students in an online course created in the Desire2Learn Learning Management System software. Our University, Georgia Southern University currently uses this learning management system as the entire University System of Georgia (USG). USG includes 31 higher education institutions. http://www.usg.edu/inst/ Can the Poll Everywhere software be integrated into the Desire2Learn software?

have a "save poll results as a graphic" option
although easy to PRINTSCREEN and save to PAINT
how about an export to image button? so it can be inserted manually into a presentation that way you can save the reponses quickly. particulalrly if you are going o re-use the poll very soon2 votesThanks for your interest in Poll Everywhere!
That’s a great idea! We’ve actually already done this for multiple-choice polls. When looking at your poll in your account, on the right side you’ll see a Views button. Clicking that will reveal a few links, one of which is Screenshot.
Give that a shot!
Best,

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.

import longer questions
it'd be nice to be able to import longer questions options allowing for punctuation within options and separate options by a special character (e.g. tab, pipe or semi-colon)
31 votesYou can now import poll questions from a CSV file! If you have them typed up in Excel, you can have your poll titles up to 500 characters long and answer choices up to 250 characters long

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
b
c
d

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?
es
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.

Pie Charts
Instead of using bars can you use pie charts with percentages, percentage and count, or just could. Example: 4 votes blue, 6 red, 10 total or 40% or 4 Votes blue, 60% or 6 red (100% or 10 total). Pie is good. Bars get boring. Think Excel integration/coding perhaps?

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…
