Great App!!! but, what about editable text?
Nice work on this!
A little frustrating
Edit: after reading the other comments I realized how useful voting on multiple options can be. But definitely should be an option.
Response from developer
Hi there! Thanks so much for your feedback! I'm sorry that you're frustrated with the app. Voting on multiple options was a highly requested feature but I understand it's not perfect for every case. In the upcoming version this will be a setting you can change. Regarding anonymous polls, that's a very good idea! I will consider it for the next update as well. For the issue with a vote on one option also counting on other polls with an option that has the same name, I'm very surprised by that, I haven't been able to reproduce it but I'll keep looking into this. Feel free to reach me at jeff@pollsforimessage.com for any other issues or feedback. Input like yours is what will make this app great ❤️ Hope you have found the app to be useful 😊 -Jeff
Great App Very Useful
Something I also like is that the developer is very responsive to reviews. The one thing I would change would be that you should be able to submit a vote without opening the app. Overall it is a fantastic app that I recommend to all.
I updated this review because I later discovered that this app is very good and useful :) ( ◠‿◠ )

Hey, sorry I know it's very hard to find. Unfortunately nothing I can do to make it easier for people to delete. Here's what you do. Open iMessage, open a conversation, hit the app button to the left of the text input so your iMessage apps show up above the keyboard, scroll all the way to the right end of those and tap more, then find the polls app and swipe to delete, if it's favorites you have to remove from favorites first. Sorry for the trouble, if you change your mind about the app feel free to change your review. This is a free app I made on my own time, not a scammer -Jeff
Allow owner to suppress notifications
Good, but makes everyone download
Response from developer
Hi! Thanks for your review. I understand this is frustrating to require everyone to download but unfortunately this is the way it has to work. People have to download apps in order to use them. Might be able to find a poll website so you can send a link and then people won't have to download. Hope you've enjoyed the app and find whst you're looking for! Please know this is a free app that I made on my personal time and negative reviews hurt our rating and push other apps to the top which charge you for polls.
Could use improvements
Bug
I added a new title to the poll, voted for it, then updated, and my title never appeared.
Regardless, there is a workaround and I still think this app completes the original intent of the design.
Turns out you need to update the poll and the vote separately and it will work.
1) make new title
2) update
3) vote for title
4) update
Can’t do it this way
1) make new title
2) vote for new title
3) update
Last thing to mention. By default it doesn’t allow for a poll with one option. Can this be changed? Others can add their own options. If I’m having An accumulative poll with a group, it makes sense to allow the options to start with the ideas from a single person

Hi! Thanks for your review and bug report, I appreciate you giving 4 stars despite the issue you ran into. The steps you gave should work, in fact I just tried them. Assuming by title you mean you added a new option to the poll after you'd already sent it. You should be able to add an option and vote for it in the same go. Were there other people voting at the same time? There is a possibility of a timing issue where someone's vote could have overwritten you adding the new option and removed it. In either case I'll be sure to test and fix any issues in the next version. Hope you are enjoying the app!
Love polls, can’t wait for a few more features
I do wish there was the ability to:
- edit a choice instead of deleting and recreating
- choose the number of answers allowed by a person, or even just the ability to choose between 1 answer or multiple
- this one might be limited by how iMessage apps work and what data you have access to. An option to only show the end results after everyone in the group chat has voted.
