About

RollPoll

Read full description

RollPoll is your group's home base, a social app where you post what you're thinking, ask what you're wondering, and hear back. ASK ANYTHING. Classic polls, image showdowns, 1-10 ratings, predictions, ranked votes. Or skip the options and just say the thing: statements, ideas, hot takes. The feed votes, reacts, and replies. ONE POLL RULES EACH DAY. The Poll of the Day drops every morning, and everyone answers the same question. One tap, you're in, streak extended. STREAKS WITH STAKES. Every vote builds your Roll Worth. Weekly standings show where you land. Will yours be bigger than your peers? SIDE QUESTS. Daily challenges with bronze, silver, and gold tiers, because voting once is easy and gold is not. YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR ROOMS. DMs for the one-on-ones. Groups for the whole crew, with invite links that get everyone in one tap. TAKE ROLL. Group attendance, but make it fast: call the roll and see who's actually there. RollPoll is FREE. Come say something.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RollPoll at none against Locals.com's 12. Locals.com's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
