Night/Dark Mode hides text

If it’s in dark mode, the text can’t be read. Hope that gets fixed!

One Small Change Needed

**App users: if you’re having trouble seeing the text, go to settings in your phone, click display and brightness, and turn off “night mode.” I realized the text colors were fine during the day but completely unreadable at night and that did the trick. The app makers need to fix this problem, but other than that it worked great!

Colors are off- too hard to see options

They don’t let you choose your own colors for fonts in the poll. It’s a super light grey box with white text- that makes it almost impossible to see what written in the options when creating polls. Kinda dumb that somebody decided those colors and sent it through the App Store. Clearly they haven’t tested/tried their own app, or simply don’t care.

So Easy to Use!

I love it! So easy to use. Just wish we could do the group message as soon as we send the poll out instead of the poll sending them individually, but it’s super cool nonetheless!

Web version is complicated

So I used the web version as I just wanted to send the link to people via one email. I filled everything out and now I have no way of getting the results. Any idea how to get the results using the web version? I can’t put in the specific code at the end of the link to check anywhere on the app. It’s not worth it to me. If I have to text it to everyone, I may as well just ask everyone.

It’s HORRIBLE

It keeps crashing and also, how do I send the vote to people! Do NOT buy this. It’s a waste of your time. I’m using a iphone11 and it’s working horribly. Don’t download

Would be 5 stars

I would give this 5 stars if you could see the name of each of the answer choices after the poll ends when the results show up. It’s hard to make a decision when you don’t know what the answers are.

Font color?

This is an amazing way to do polls especially since you can send it as a link and the voters do not need an app to complete it. Great for voters who are non Apple users! I’m not sure if it is just my app but when I make polls, the font color is white and so is the background so I can’t really see what I’m typing. Same with the results, I can see the votes but I can’t see which answer won because the answers are the same color as the background. This is only on the app though. I have to check results using someone else’s phone that I sent the link towards.

No longer Working

Been using this app for almost a year but now photos won’t load for you to see what you are voting on.

Needs improvements

This app crashes every time you add a voter from your contact list. Also wish you could limit voters to one option.

It worked for a while

Sending polls was great for a while but notifications have been broken very inconsistently and not even deleting and reinstalling has helped. There’s little use sending polls if you still have to text someone to let them know. At that point I’ll just ask them myself.

Great App

Has great potential. I use it for voting on a movie or game for the week with friends. Best part is. They don't need the app!

Great app so far.

It's a good concept and I love that others don't need the app to participate. I'd like to see a little more options with the sliding scale but overall it's a great tool!

Legit

Executes exactly as needed.

A quick way for everyone to weigh in significantly improving what would normally be an annoying process for aligning a group.

Well done. Simple. Intuitive.

Group Trip

Our high school class used it decide our annual summer trip this year.

This was a great idea to get everybody involved in the decision.

It worked well, but l'm suggesting a few changes/additions:
1) I should be able to send to a number that's not in my contacts.
2) I should be able to delete a voter, who hasn't voted yet.
3) I should be able to make corrections; name spelling/correct wrong number before they vote.

Otherwise, it's a great app.

Love it!

As an 8-piece ska band, it's so hard to make decisions about stuff!! Can you make it to the gig? Which piece of art do you want for our next album? Which of these songs should we cover? But now it's so easy!! Thank goodness for this app!

Great

Easy to use, customizable

Saves time and eases social decision making

I was actually thinking of creating an app similar to this and found VoteUp instead.

I've spent months explaining voting systems and navigating "oh I don't know" and "I don't really care", or watching an outspoken friend dominate the plans.

Features I like:
1) Voters don't need the app (just the poll creater)
2) Each option gets rated (not a simple ranking or yes/no)
3) Can hide votes
4) can share results

Does what it says.

Perfect for my needs.

Solid app, would like some features

The app is simple and works well, generates texts to notify others of the poll online with a link for those without the app, unlimited number of choices can be put on a poll, range and approval voting. Also allows for adding pictures, integrated with phones camera. It all works easily.

I would like to see an option for ranked voting, with a Condorcet method to resolve it (I like ranked pairs or schultz method). While range voting is more expressive, many voters don't want to put the exact score out of 100 each time, but still want to express more than binary yes or no. I think a ranked voting method is a nice middle ground that certainly has a place. Often they don't even know exactly how much they prefer one thing over the other, just that they prefer one over the other. When stakes are low and trust is high, (no strategizing) ranked voting should really be an option.

Also internal messaging in the app (with push notification) would make the experience better for those with the app. At the moment a really amazing feature that does not seem to exist anywhere is a way to automagically generate options to common questions, like where should we go eat tonight? Perhaps a connection to yelp, using location data and allowing some filter option (distance, cost, food type, etc.)
