New Update

The new update makes the app much cleaner and adds more features. My one request is to let there be an option to have polls where only one choice can be selected. There should be an option to select a poll with multiple choices or just one.

Multiple Votes Needed!

Update- This app is much more workable with the new feature allowing multiple votes. I think it would be even better if you could see who voted for each option. Adding one star for the most recent improvements.

I was really hoping this app would simplify the scheduling for a dinner group that I’m in by allowing members to vote for their availability rather than exchanging endless texts, but the inability to vote for more than one option makes this app unworkable. Developer says that it’s in the works, but doesn’t appear available yet. Bummed.

Hi Erbear15! Thanks for your review. Would you like early access to v2.0? Edit: Glad you like the update Erbear15! Thank you for updating your review, it means a lot to us :) and thank you for your additional feedback about seeing who voted on each option. This is the top item on our roadmap for upcoming 2.1 release.

Not a tool for market research

This app is for friends to use but I thought it had potential for market research. Unfortunately, the person receiving the poll has to have the app, too.

I also don’t like that you can’t open the app in its own window. It just loads to your keyboard with really vague instructions. Needs a tutorial start and some you can open and adjust settings. Now I’m gonna have to google how to remove it off my phone because it’s unclear.

Great idea, needs updates

Have been hoping iMessage created polls and am glad that it finally came to fruition, however, it seems that some updates are needed. First, i don’t believe notifications should be sent out every time someone votes. I think it would be more beneficial to have one notification sent when a poll is created a one when it has completed. Second, I think the process of voting is too lengthy, mainly because of the need to send the poll again as a message after voting. I love the idea, just think some optimization is required!

Edit: Hi Klaustradamus, we just released an update which addressed a small part of your feedback. You can now vote and send your update in one tap. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your feedback (previous response below). Hi Klaustradamus, thanks for your feedback! I understand the notifications can get noisy in large groups. Unfortunately that is not something we have control over. Apple controls the notifications and they are sent every time :/ As for the voting process, I completely agree! Having to tap send again after voting is annoying. This was a requirement of Apple when we launched, but fortunately they have updated the way it works and our new version (coming out soon!) will fix this so that voting takes less taps! Thanks for your review and your feedback!

Amazing App - Simplified Decision Making Instantly

Our fantasy football league has run into some issues in the past with determining dates, activities, and draft order. Recently, a member did not participate in a league activity and we immediately sought consensus from other league members for a decision. Polls for iMessage made this quick, easy and fun!

Thanks, Polls for iMessage!!!

Awesome!

Polls is great. Easy to use, does exactly what you want it to do. No unnecessary frills, no half baked features that water down the well-designed core functionality. This is how all of my group chats make their most important life decisions. #MakeAPoll

Group Chat no more!

This is so fun! Super easy way to get a straight answer from a group to make plans without the ordeal of a group chat and tons of messages you don’t want setting off your phone. Can’t wait to use it other ways too. Love it!

Can the memes or gifs within iMessage or images already on the phone be incorporated for options?

A good concept

Only played with this applet a little, on iOS 12.0.1.
I am only able to do either a link or type in my own words. I am not able to add pictures like the images in the app store shows. Adding the ability to change the color of the poll would also be nice.
Still there's a lot to like. It's a nice way to make a quick poll, and it seems to do that really well.

Takes the hassle over deciding what to do with friends.

Love going out - but the hassle of getting friends to all agree on what bar to meet, place to eat or movie to see envolved so much back-&-forth that we'd abandon going out half the time. ("We've been talking so long about where to go that the restaurant is about to close!" "You took so long to get back to me that the movie already started!")

NOW it's FUN & FAST to get together on a whim!

My social life just got a major boost!!

THANK YOU!!!
