allow for starting polls and skipping to next from full-screen view
this way, in a teaching situation and beaming the poll, i don't have to skip back from full-screen just to start and skip to the next poll. unfortunately i do need to start the polls one after another since students are prone to vote before i've finished my introduction to the poll. if this is possible already, please notify me, i've missed it. thanks!
17 votesGreetings!
We just released some exciting new features, and navigating from poll to poll in fullscreen from the website is one of them! Check everything out here: http://blog.polleverywhere.com/

Allow teachers to receive tier 2 support
Many educators have had to deal with harships financially, especially being furloughed days. Because things are getting tighter, yet expectations of educators increase, providing additional assistance would be helpful.
Students do not learn in the traditional fashion employed fifty years ago, so it is imperative that our methods match and keep up with their ways of retaining information. Integration of technology is one of the keys that should be used to boost education in the direction that it should go.

select correct multiple choice responses at question creation stage
Ability to select the correct answer(s) at the question create stage. it's very cumbersome to have to create a question, then go to edit, then select "grade incoming responses" before you can do this. Would also be good to have a way of doing this with bulk create, e.g. marking each correct response with an asterix, for example: what is the capital of germany? Berlin*, Paris, London, Madrid
13 votesWe just shipped this one out! It’s been too long coming, but should really save some time. Whenever you make a Multiple Choice Poll you may now select the grey checkmark to select the correct answer. That’s it!
The edit poll method is still available, but you can now mark the correct answer as you create a question.

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.
12 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 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.

more language support (in the interface)
I would like for all the onscreen instructions to appear in Spanish. I teach in an immersion program in which students cannot see or hear any English, and there appears to be no way to change the language in the settings so that all the text in the polls changes to something other than English. I'm referring to instructions like "Text a CODE to XXXXX", "Submit reponses at http:...", Total results", etc. All of the interface language should be viewable in the same language as my original text in the poll.
12 votesYou can now change the language support for the instructions on our chart visualization. Here’s how:
1. go to Settings by clicking the top right of the page
2. select the Poll Settings tab
3. choose which language under “What language should my instructions be in?”
4. click SaveThat will update the instructions for all of your existing polls and all newly created polls. You can always change the language in the future as well. If you have any feedback on our translations, just shoot us an email and we’ll see what we can do to make them better!

Allow formatting of font sizes in options for multiple choice questions when not displaying as graph
Currently there is no option to determine the font size of the text that is added as the answer for multiple choice questions. The options sometimes display as single line text (although not all the time, they seem to randomly change size) when not showing the graphic display. Since some of the options are rather wordy in my polls, they display at a tiny, barely readable font.
10 votesThanks for your idea! You can adjust the size of your labels in the activity’s visual settings. Under “Axis & labels”, uncheck “Auto size labels” and you can adjust the size manually from there.

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.
