Provide a way to Export text responses to .txt or .xls files
For example, I use Poll Everywhere to take attendance by answering some basic question and their name. It would be helpful to be able to export the answers to excel or Word rather than scrolling through them in one of the output formats.
1 voteHi Enoch,
Great news! This is actually already possible. You can download a spreadsheet from the Response History area for the poll question(s) you would like responses for.

This is out and available for everyone on our paid plans to use. The basics are that if you go to the Participants page you can export selected participant groups OR all the participants on the account to CSV.

Display Total Votes when Showing Percentages
It appears that when one chooses to show percentages instead of votes that the total number of votes is not displayed. It would be helpful if the total votes remained on the the screen for both options (or could be selected as an option). When I display percentages I have no way of knowing how much of my audience has participated in the poll.
6 votesYou can do both! By default the bar graphs for our Multiple Choice Polls should display the Percentage Results for each answer choice. And, you can display the total results count from the Visual Settings Menu (Paintbrush icon on the top right of the poll display)
You can see how in more detail here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guide#customizing_your_poll

Make multiple polls live
I would like to be able to make multiple polls live at the same time, so that students can answer for instance 5 questions at once and then we can review them together. Instead of taking on poll at a time.

How about Multiple Choice Questions where m out of k options can be chosen
In assessments, we often use so called k-prim questions. These are multiple choice questions, where the respondents can tick more than just one answer. Is it possible to construct those in PollEverywhere?
2 votesHi Abraham,
Thanks for reaching out! I just want to double-check we don’t already have this possibility.

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

Vote on locations within a picture
Sometimes, I ask students to look at a picture, say a carbon cycle diagram, and say which element of that picture they consider most important. It would be nice to be able to create multiple-choice questions based on a single picture file, and a set of spatial regions that the users vote by clicking on one of them.
1 voteHello,
Great news! We have added this feature and is a new option when creating polls named clickable images! Take a look at our blog http://blog.polleverywhere.com/introducing-a-new-poll-type-clickable-image-polls-2/ and you can read more about it! Enjoy!

Using Templates
It's frustrating when I want to apply a template to some polls, but not all, after I've created them. I'd love to be able to select a poll for the template and then be able to select either "ALL" polls or just select some of the polls.
1 voteHi Michael,
Thanks for reaching out!
Can you try using our Edit Multiple feature for this? I think it may be what you’re looking for!

Setting for Auto-Stop Time
For the auto-stop time option, it would be cool to be able to set the amount of time since the poll was pushed.was the stop time. This way, when I am using it in class, I tell my students, "You have five minutes after I push the poll to your screen to answer the question," and the setting would be automatic after I push!
1 voteHello,
Starting the timer will start the poll and push it automatically. So, if you type in 5 minutes and start the timer, it will behave as you described!

export to text
I have special education students that are required have written material and extra time to work. (Federal law mandates these accommodations.)
This would allow all students to get the same material in a way that means I don't have to do it twice.
1 voteTry using either the “views” menu found to the right when viewing a poll question’s live chart on the website OR the reporting tools to access a text or table view of your question(s).
This should work for what you need and let us know if you have questions!

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,

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/
