Used to work
Can’t log in… even with Apple ID. Desperately needs update. No longer usable.
Broken
Used to like this app, but the latest version broke it on my iPhone X. Multiple answer polls no longer display the entire text of the question so impossible to answer.
Everyone ignores the list of categories and every question is posted in trending news now. This is not the developers fault, it’s just human nature.

Flawed
I am logged in. I have been logged in virtually continuously since creating the account 24 hours ago. I have tried closing and reopening the app. I have tried logging out and back in. I have restarted my iPad. No luck. Every time I try to verify my account, when I click on the link in the email, I get an error message that the account does not exist. Most of the questions are moronic. I won’t answer the majority of questions because the “authors” put editorial comments in the choices, resulting in none of them reflecting how I’d answer the question. If you don’t know how to write a good set of answers to a question, look up “mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive”.

Wont let me ask questions
I have tried to ask questions on this app, and it says it needs to verify my account. I never receive the email to confirm it is me. I have tried multiple times. Even checked my spam folder and nothing.
Crashing
App needs updating. Keeps crashing. Will delete off my device if not fixed
App don’t work
I did enjoy the app but it wouldn’t let me sign or reset my password. 3 Times I requested a password reset. No link was sent. I signed in using Facebook and it didn’t work. I deleted the app. I give it 0 stars if that was an option
Needs work
Like polls this should be taken with numerous grains of salt. Many questions are not simple yes or no. Many questions have an answer that no matter which answer you select it is one you disagree with. You end up not answering many (if your being honest). I’ll delete this app. Sorry.
Flaky App
Something(s) wrong here.
1. I tried to sign on with a known good password (stored in 1Password when I signed up). The app said “bad password”. I tried several times, same result.
2. I then tried “I forgot my password”. It said “successful. An email will be sent with a temporary password”. No email. Tried again - twice - no email. (And yes, I checked in my spam folder).
3. I gave up on that and tried to sign up as a new user, using a different email address. It said “sending confirmation email”. No email (again).
4. Doesn’t work worth a darn on an iPad. It only displays in Portrait mode. There is no way to make it rotate into Landscape mode.
5. There is no support address to straighten things out - just a signup screen.
I wanted to use this app. Looks like that won’t be possible.

Used to be fun.....
This app used to be fun, but now every single question I post is flagged. Even the simplest, most straightforward, G-rated of questions.
Who gets polled ?
I don’t know who they get to answer these poll questions but it’s obviously not moderates. The answers almost always tend to lean to a right wing perspective. Rarely ever left. I Can’t believe the majority of the people Think like this. I don’t even look at these anymore.
Fun and interesting
The app is fun and interesting. I wish they showed the total number of respondents and those who swipe up to skip a question but other than that it is great. The results in the political section, however, will make liberal tears flow like it was 2016.
Was ok
Say you can pick your categories but you still get others you don’t ask for. Leftest Jerks flood the site with same questions in different format but same answer. Questions get flagged with out reason.
I think Zip Poll USA is good.
I think Zip Poll USA is a good one on the Apple App Store. It is useful.
The app usually crashes
App usually works for a few weeks then always crashes. Don’t log in with Facebook and it may help
Finally REAL polling representing we, the people.
This app is as real as it gets. How many times we see multiple polls coming from fake propaganda outlets like CNN or MSNBC who broadcast hostile fabricated stories all the time, and we wonder “how come I have never been polled or asked anything” well, this app allow us all to answer and voice our opinions, the REAL opinion of the vast overwhelming majority of Americans. It even allow people to create their own questions for others to answer. This is a great American app. A voice for those who don’t have microphones or cameras.

It’s cool but...
Cool idea but that app is poorly optimized(crashes, bugs etc). That data is useless as you don’t know the survey size of each poll. I read reviews about the conservative thing and thought it can’t be that bad. But it’s true, a majority of political polls are disproportionately right leaning. If it was a diverse pool of users, I would probably use it but it’s just annoying constantly answering cornering right leaning questions.
Maybe you will like it, I mean it’s free so why not try. I however will probably forget about this app in three days from now.

Needs Work
The app has a very clear problem, which is it is IMPOSSIBLE to get 100%. You ask a question with 2 possible answers & it starts out 50/50. Well, that’s mathematically impossible. This simply compounds the problem as people begin voting.
Another bad feature is you don’t know how many people voted. There could have been only 2 or 100 or even 1k. In a world where counting views is big, Zip fails miserably here.
As for the many comments on here about conservatives viewpoints...that’s simply not the case. I have read plenty of political questions with left-leaning answers. So I would not use that as an indicator. The big one—the stats are ALL bad.

“Points” Make App More Fun Than Ever
I have had and used this app from the beginning and love it, but now with the points system it’s even more addicting. I’m excited to get enough points for prizes. And with the new website I can gain a more in-depth understanding of the topics I vote on. The web site provides a new and much more entertaining way to get the news while it’s hot. Although I am not extreme in my political opinions, I do lean left and often feel outnumbered on Zip. Not sure why that is but it’s not a deterrent for me. It will be interesting to see if and how that changes as time goes on.

New Points are addictive!
I already loved Zip but now the addition of earning points makes me want to get on there everyday. I actually learn about trending news first on the app. The users are ahead of the mass media on current events. It’s also cool to see how people feel about what’s happening in the world. Politics is a strong category as it is in our daily lives so I feel informed after using the app. Thanks Zip!

Good with mild improvements
I like the concept. We get to propose some questions and answer debates without all the hurt feelings.
I would like to see some improvements:
- give us mild feed back. We don’t want names and addresses but at least tell us how many answered so we can get a feel if we hit a big enough crowd.
- add “custom” time limit to option when setting up the question. Heck maybe start and stop dates if that works best for you. Which ever is good.
-Maybe over time add to our feedback like how many of each answered the questions like; sex, age group, etc
