Read full description

Do polls at once with live audiences and use this simple app in academic lectures, industry workshops or other events for instant feedback, evaluations or votings. Just initiate a poll and share a code with the attendees who also need the app. There's no registration or login necessary. Voting is completely anonymous and people can just answer A, B, C or D. You see the results in realtime on your phone. Every poll will be closed after 30 minutes. This app is for free! Furthermore, it comes along with an in-app purchase that allows you to organize all polls that you have initiated, however, the free version works stand-alone already. I have developed it for personal use and it's very rudimental (or reduced to core features if you prefer this expression). Feel free to give suggestions for improvement.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Poll At Once at 4.7 against SmartHub's 2.7. Poll At Once also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 17%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). SmartHub's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
