Astonishing how little this company innovates
PE has had basically the same set of bugs since its release years ago. This app was a nice bright spot in that it allowed us to Airplay from iPhones and iPads to a screen, taking up the full projected screen while giving us control on our devices.
Six months ago this feature broke, and instead of fixing it they “updated” the app to no longer have the presenter mode this app is built for.
This is not how one stays competitive in a crowded field.

Won’t load any activities
I can get to my list of activities, but trying to open any just gives “Loading” forever.
Does not work on iPad
What a disappointment the iPad app is. Imagine setting up the perfect poll, presenting in class, responses come in, everyone’s excited to see the results, and NOPE, you cannot display results screen because for some reason, the results are only on the secondary display and, oh, wait, now, the iPad app is frozen and there’s nothing you can do except restart your iPad. Every single time!
Save yourself the trouble and present from a browser if you use an iPad.
Developers - please fix this broken app.

Problematic
The app does not work well on my iPad. It shows a white screen and does not give me an option to close the presentation. I guess the developer did not bother testing the app on iOS. Disappointing. I will uninstall.
No way to share activities from the app
There is no way to share an activity. I just wanted to access the share link and I can’t. Useless
No Log Out
I do not see any way to log out except deleting the whole app and reinstalling. I pay for two accounts so I need to log out and clear responses for the other polls but the app doesnt have a log out button to sign into another account.
Can we have the ability to
Can we have the ability to change if we see responses are not from the app when activity is active? This will completely allow not having to be tied to an internet browser…
Unreliable. Different problems every time.
Glitch factory. You never know what you’re going to get - glitches across macOS and Win, Safari, Chrome and I even had to try Edge (gross). It used to work really well... what on earth happened? Totally unreliable, I won’t be risking even the most inconsequential polls on this app any more.
Step backwards
For me the presenter app is a step backwards— maybe if you’re a power user it’s more intuitive, but for someone who wants just to quickly run polls during meetings and lectures (and see the results) it’s more work and more learning curve. Also it feels like a “webpage in an app” rather than a true app.

This app is terrible
I have tried installing and using this app on my IPad multiple times, and it’s TERRIBLE. It crashes, it’s not clear how to add slides to presentations, and, worst of all, it shows the respondents answers, you can’t prevent them from seeing what other people are responding, so my students, instead of making their own choice converge on the most common answer. I’m so frustrated using PollEv in my university classroom, I hope my institution finds a better tool very soon.

Please make old activities functionality available
With the old app, I could quickly look at the listing of polls for a presentation and ensure none are active and show results is off. Great time saver before a day of training. Now I have to do it from the web. The old pollev app used to allow us to easily do this.
Good, but could use some better features
Prior to the separation of presenter vs poll app, we could view students responses on my iPad while the class responses were still hidden on the board. Please bring back that feature.
App broken after update, please fix!
This used to be a fantastic app. Now with Presenter, we can no longer see poll results before they are visible to the audience. It’s essentially useless to me now in it’s current state. I also don’t understand the reason for two separate apps. Please fix!
Response from developer
This sounds like an issue for our customer support. If you haven’t already contacted them, you may do so at support@polleverywhere.com
Can’t sign up
It won’t let me create an account using Google account and that’s the only option.
Fantastic app with needed functionality
I’m so glad the devs implemented true external display support. Finally presenting from my iPad is easy and seamless.
I hope PollEv will consider letting me see poll results on my iPad even if responses are hidden on the external display. The decision of when/whether to present the results to the audience often hinges on the actual distribution of responses, so this would be a huge help.

I can finally present from my iPad
Wow I’ve been looking forward to this for such a long time. I’m finally able to ditch my laptop in class and run my presentation entirely from my iPad. I can split screen this app while AirPlaying to the projector and read my class discussion notes at the same time. Thanks Poll Everywhere!
Wow. This is the future!
This is what I’ve been waiting for. I’m no longer tied to my laptop and can present from anywhere on stage.
