Good, but a catch…

This is ok for running a quick poll. But everyone needs the app to vote. Not helpful if you have a phone that’s locked or administrated by someone else.

Why

Very useful, but does not let creator vote?

Can’t see who’s voted

Spent a lot of time trying to get this app to work but cannot see who’s voted even though the anonymous box isn’t selected. Total waste of time. Guess this is what happens when apps are free

Response from developer

Hey there, sorry to hear you're frustrated. Make sure you're sending into a group that only includes iOS devices (messages should be blue). After people vote, open the poll and tap the person icon an an option to see who voted for that option. If your friends have not already set their name, they will still show as anonymous. To set their name they can open the poll and tap settings. Hope that helps, Jeff

Neat idea but still needs improvement

I love the idea of this, except that the poll just gets lost in the group texts. There needs to be some way to have some sort of “active poll” indicator on in the group text that people can click on. Not everyone can respond right away and so the poll just gets lost in the conversation as it continues. Bummer

Confusing and Wasted my Time

I downloaded this app to make a poll on restaurants to have my birthday dinner next month with my family. After sending the poll to them in a groupchat, no one was able to access the poll to vote which was frustrating. I didn’t know what else to do. So, I ended up just making the decision of where to go on my own. Now, I’m trying to delete the app (cause I don’t need it) and the instructions have me running in circles and I’m lost.

Fantastic app which defaults to approval voting.

I’ve been working in the election reform space for a very long time, and it’s honestly refreshing to see such a simple implementation of approval voting for people to be able to use on the go. This kind of voting is something that you’d like to see implemented for regular elections, join up with the Center for Election Science.

Great Idea

Love it. Please continue to support and add universal support with no download requirement. It’s too complicated for everyone in a group chat to download this (family and older relatives and such) I’d pay $5-10 for this instantly if you pull through with those features.

How do I delete the app?

How??

Friends have to have the app too

FIRST
So I downloaded this app expecting to be able to use it a lot. But no. I don’t think it tells you but only people with the app can use the poll. The only person I know with the app is my sister. That doesn’t really help bc I can just talk to her. I just misunderstood and don’t like it.
SECOND
people can vote as many times as they want! that isn’t fair or accurate. just sayin…

Amazing, simple, and Free!

Huge thanks to the developer! This app does exactly what it promises and it’s completely free.

I wish the app was still under development, as I’d like to see some new features. Having a an end day/time and auto reminders a few times before the poll closes would be great.
