I sometimes have login issues. ### 1/5 — App is laggy, doesn’t sync well *2024-12-09, version 13* Nice app and everything but it needs to work better. ### 1/5 — It won’t let me delete it! *2024-10-24, version 13* I’ve tried several places and it does not give me an option to delete it. ### 1/5 — continual loop of not working *2024-09-10, version 13* try to answer questions for my college course in the app. every time the app just tells me i need to login again, and takes me to my browser. which tells me to login again. so i do and then it takes me back to the app. which tells me to login again so i do and it takes me back to the browser. so i keep doing this and it never ever works its just an endless loop. fix this. i need to use this for a class!!!! ### 1/5 — Needs Refresh ability *2024-04-22, version 13* Every time I use this app it does not work correctly. I can answer the first question, and then as the lecturer continues my phone will auto-lock or I will switch away to use another app. When I come back, I have to leave the presentation and log back in because it will not show the new question the presenter has put up. There needs to be some sort of auto refresh when I open the page again. ### 1/5 — Logs me out *2024-04-20, version 13* After updating the to the latest version (version 13), it is constantly logging me out and putting me in stressful situations in class. It even logs out in between questions. It also has trouble switching to the next question. ### 3/5 — Constantly requires login *2024-04-19* I have to login every time I use this and give it permission, despite it being set in iOS settings. Annoying to use, have to rejoin the the poll for the questions to refresh. Forced to use in college for live questions. ### 1/5 — Broken *2024-04-18, version 13* Used to work - now logs out between questions. ### 2/5 — App isn’t consistent *2024-04-03, version 13* App constantly logs me out and it always has issues logging me back in ### 1/5 — Nothing updates *2023-08-22, version 10* I’ve followed all the guidance, established a set of test questions, but the only way you can force the responses to appear is to move to the next question, then go back to the original question. The responses are not visible unless you do this. I’m after a real time polling app, but this doesn’t offer that functionality, it appears. Deeply counterintuitive. ### 1/5 — New polls do not load *2023-08-08, version 10* New polls do not load reliably, forcing me to force close and reopen the app each time ### 1/5 — buggy *2023-04-10, version 10* It keeps taking me to safari then back to the app which then takes me back to safari. Just use the mobile webpage… ### 1/5 — I hate PollEverywhere *2023-01-26, version 9* You are the reason my Econ grade is gonna drop 😔 ### 1/5 — Constantly need to restart app, questions do not load *2022-09-07, version 9* I am on iOS 15.6.1 for iPad. I must restart the app and rejoin the poll every time the presenter moves to the next question. Sometimes the questions do not load at all. ### 1/5 — So buggy it’s unusable *2022-03-03, version 8* Extremely buggy and can’t properly do the most basic aspects of the app, to the point where it cost me on my final grade. Waiting to see whether the question posted actually appears is like flipping a coin, the app is simply unreliable ### 1/5 — Never used *2021-11-01, version 7* And you can’t even delete it, waist of space app ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up *2021-03-29, version 5* Asks to be signed up to. Tried to sign up using my google account but as I don’t have a surname it wouldn’t allow me to create an account.. 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Money Grab *2021-02-25, version 5* This app doesn’t allow you to create a single poll without a subscription, yet the pricing is not visible until you give them all your sign up data. What a scam...don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother. *2020-12-11, version 3.2.1* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WORST. Not worth your time. *2026-05-07, version 13* I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but wanted to for this heinous app. Terrible. Use another. ### 1/5 — Weighed down by bugs *2026-02-03, version 13* The app has many issues, constantly kicking the user off the app and redirecting to the website, which defeats the entire point of having the app. ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-02-03, version 13* Why do I have to sign in every time I use this app. I get counted absent on my attendance ### 1/5 — Not able to log in with edu emails *2026-01-27, version 13* As said in the title, im not able to log in with my edu email address in this app while i can do so on the website. The authorization always says error ### 1/5 — What’s the point!? *2025-10-30, version 13* What purpose does the app serve if it just opens the web browser every time? Seamless my bum, I CONSTANTLY have login issues! ### 1/5 — What’s the point!? *2025-09-09, version 13* What purpose does the app serve if it just opens the web browser every time? ### 1/5 — It’s the website, but worse *2025-01-13, version 13* . ### 1/5 — Broken. *2025-01-08, version 13* I have tried to link my account to the app, but every time I’ve tried to authorize the app to use my email, it goes to page not found and doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Just not working *2025-01-08, version 13* When trying to log in it refers me to the authorization page. I authorize it. But then it sends me to a “page not found” page. And then the app says authorization failed. ### 1/5 — Unable to log in *2025-01-07* I’m trying to log into this app through my school account, and when it pulls me to a web browser and asks me to authorize the sign in it takes me to a “page not found” page and I can select “home”. This takes me to the logged in website, but it’s still through the browser that it pulled up, it doesn’t log me into the actual app and it tells me there was an error logging in and that it was “canceled” whenever I close the pop up browser and go back to the application. As it stands, the app is totally unusable for me. I use safari as my default browser, which could be the issue, but unless I wanna go into my phone settings and change that default browser, I can’t try it in other browsers, and I’m unwilling to do that. The app should work on any of the large browsers, and if it doesn’t, I’m not going out of my way to circumvent the poor design of the application. I’m just going to not use the app, and leave a poor review on it for not functioning correctly instead. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The only *2023-09-01* I’m so ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing! *2020-02-11, version 2.3.0* This app is amazing. I love making my own presentations and quizzes. With all of the new types of pills and the new competition setting, it is super fun. For people who have played jackbox, it’s like that except there can be WAY more people and everything’s a little different. When I taught the lesson at church on Sunday, I used this and it turned out to be awesome. Everyone in my family likes it. Normal presentations can get pretty boring, but if you throw in a few polls and questions that people can answer on their phones, it makes the learning experience more interactive, fun, and effective. ### 5/5 — Great in-class resource *2019-08-16, version 1.32.1* We use this app in med school to encourage student response and assessment. Works wonderfully well! ### 5/5 — Slick tool *2019-01-31, version 1.28.7* Love using this for interactive sessions where you need people to vote or provide feedback using their phones or laptops. It’s also great for training. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-01-23, version 1.28.7* Used in many of my classes. Easy way to track participation and the software is excellent. Surprise me how it’s free! ### 5/5 — Very happy but some time doesn't update question *2018-10-11, version 1.25.5* Sometime have to reopen app for updated poll. So far satisfying app. ### 5/5 — Professor Peter Adler *2018-09-13, version 1.25.5* I love PollEverywhere! I use it to grade participation (1 point for doing and uploading the homework; one point for attending class; and one point for speaking in class). No more paper and I can work up everyone’s participation score in 1-2 hours for each half of the semester. Polls work great for exams and there is automatic grading for multiple choice questions. I show everyone’s answers anonymously by student ID and the correct answer. Live polling, at random and in PowerPoint, also gets everyone in the class involved, and it is fun to see live results change, such as how students rank the case studies we use. Anonymous polls are useful too. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Brilliant - and getting bettter *2018-08-18, version 1.24.1* Poll Everywhere is simple to use. It’s great for on the fly questions. It’s great for stimulating discussions. I also love how they update and improve the product every few months. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2018-04-07, version 1.21.0* Highly recommended, especially for online courses. ### 5/5 — Stable and reliable *2018-03-23, version 1.20.2* We use PE every day, love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
