Poll everywhere

Overall for the purpose it setves this is a good product that is easily downloaded and used

PROS

Program was very wasy for the user. We recently used this in a large meeting and it was really nice to be able to see same time results.

CONS

Once the answer is revealed the user has a chance to change their answer which may skew the results.

Comprehensive instant audience response tool

We use PollEverywhere in many adult teaching and training sessions to increase active engagement in the audience. We train our teachers and trainers to use it and, as non-experts, they find it is simple to get on board with and find it really works to break up long sessions and give audiences a simple and effective means of instant interaction.

PROS

PollEverywhere is a fantastic tool for injecting engagement into any presentation or teaching session. It is an easy-to-use interface and has a variety of question types to cater for many forms of response, including image-based ones. The fact that it has free-text responses enables a rich response gathering from audiences and display to the audience. The new points-based quiz feature and the home-work feature are welcome to helo expand its application to a wide range of uses. The fact that it has a free plan is extremely helpful in the not-for-profit sector.

CONS

Many users would like seamless integration into PowerPoint and Keynote but this is only possible through installing software on the machine and this is not possible for our users at an institutional set-up. It would be good if a workaround was offered that didn't depend on installing local software client. Also, the paid-for plans are relatively expensive, certainly prohibitively so for smaller groups and not-for-profit.

An effective poll app for live or virtual meetings that only lacks a better visual interface.

It is very easy to integrate into your presentation arsenal.

PROS

The price is right, the poll features are adequate.

CONS

It lacks the visual and audio enhancements. If they only made it as pretty, fun to watch and hear (music etc) as Kahoot it would be almost perfect.

Great Training Tool

PROS

Poll Everywhere's value lies in its versatility: It can be used to poll your audience in nearly any situation. I primarily use it as a training tool, and the ability to customize questions and how participants respond is great. You can pose questions, and have responding data appear on the screen anonymously, which is particularly useful when they are typing out responses as opposed to simply choosing an answer.

CONS

Not too many things to criticize about Poll Everywhere. The only drawback would be in ensuring your audience has the ability to take part in your polls. Smartphones offer the most convenient and less-distracting way for people to participate, but I supposed laptops could be used as well.

Awesome classroom tool.

PROS

I have used Poll Everywhere for as long as I can remember. As a university professor with large classes, I find it one of the most effective ways to keep students engaged, attentive and on time. It's growing features over the years are also helpful.

CONS

Not truly any cons I can think of off the top of my head...there customer service is not perfect, but I have always come to the answer I need.

Poll Everywhere WORKS

PROS

Poll Everywhere is easy to use from both the instructor and the student facing sides of the software. We desperately needed to find a solution to get real-time survey results in the classroom without making students pay for clicker technology they would ultimately toss away. Poll Everywhere is that solution!

CONS

This is not a complaint about the software itself, but rather the pricing. Poll everywhere is more expensive for a tool that is not very robust. If you're looking for simplicity, than this tool is perfect.

Simple, easy way to build active learning into your training

PROS

I like how easy it is to create polls on the fly or in advance, add in elements like photos, animated gifs, videos, etc. It was very user friendly, and the tool integrated with the LMS we used at a previous job. We were even able to add a Poll Everywhere tab to Power Point so polls could be built into presentation slides.

CONS

There weren't alot of things I didn't like about it, the free version probably has some limitations but overall the tool is very versatile.

Really Cool Polling Software

Great tool that is sure to make your presentation stand out from everyone else's. People will probably come up and ask you what you used to make your presentation dynamic. Be ready to commit a little bit of time to figure out the idiosyncrasies of the software.

PROS

Poll Everywhere is really really cool. Seriously, when you run one of these, people pay attention and get engaged. Unlike built-in webinar polls, PollEV polls look great and allow people to use their own phones to text or use the web to vote. The results actually get displayed in real-time. This makes your presentations look super tech-forward and is sure to impress!

CONS

The user interface in the backend of PollEV is kind of dated and clunky. Numerous times I've had to figure out how to do things by trial and error. I would also like to see more innovation from the PollEV team on more variety of things to engage audiences on. The pricing is a little steep if you only need it for a single, one-day event.

Polling for Professional Development

PROS

Recently, I was preparing for professional development training with a group of educators. I felt it was important for everyone in the room to know a little more about each other and for me, as the instructor, to better understand my audience. It was so fun for everyone to answer basic questions about themselves! I asked a few fun questions to help break the ice, and everyone was very engaged.

CONS

I consider myself a pretty tech-savvy person, so I was disappointed that the features that come with the free version are not as easy to understand as other programs. I also think it would be great if there were a QR code that people could scan instead of having to text.

Does the job

PROS

Lately, my professors have gotten into the habit of using Poll Everywhere to conduct an interactive lecture. By showing the link on the screen, every student can participate quickly in polling during the class. It's simple and easy to use, and also easy to set up. Instead of having students buy clickers, this is an awesome, free alternative to get students engaged.

CONS

Some of the modes of presenting the data results are very hard to read and understand. There needs to be improvement to the options of presenting the data.

Fun to use

Every time we have used Poll Everywhere it made our meetings fun and really made everyone connect to the discussion topic.

PROS

We use this in our quarterly meetings and everyone in attendance can respond to the questions being asked. It's nice to see where we stand with everyone's input while we are at the meeting.

CONS

If I had to say there was something that I didn't like about the software, I guess I could say that you get a little nervous answering some of the questions that your superiors are asking and wonder if they know how you, individually, are answering. But then I feel like if that answer is one of the choices, they must know there are employees that need to answer in that way.

Engaging for Participants

PROS

Poll Everywhere was a big hit when we revealed it during a management development session. The participants loved the idea of responding to an interactive activity and viewing their responses in real-time. I would recommend any professional who does presentations to utilize this tool. It brings a new depth to your presentations! The ability to use the app is so seamless and tech savvy as well.

CONS

I would like to see the ability to have more than one multiple choice question displayed at a time. However, it probably wouldn't be as clean and cohesive as possible.

Fun way to get audience participation during presentations

We have used this during presentations to make audience participation fun and more quantitative than asking people to raise their hands.

PROS

Easy to use, install and vote anonymously on questions during presentations. Makes audience participation fun and interesting with real-time voting statistics during the presentation.

CONS

I personally enjoy using it but I can see how people who are shy may not want to participate during meetings and so they may find this application burdensome.

Poll Everywhere for Training Engagement

PROS

Poll Everywhere is a great and easy to use tool to help build engagement in training. It was great to be able to have team members be able to use their phone to answer questions, and see their results live on screen once the poll closed! There is also a lot of variety of types of polls you can do (i.e. choice, word clouds, etc.)

CONS

There are some limitations to how many users can answer poll questions (depending on the package/level you choose). It's important to test this because it was not clear at first.

Review of Poll Everywhere

Poll everywhere is an interactive voting application that provides the student with immediate feedback on responses and offers immediate interaction.

PROS

Poll everywhere is a simple and effective alternative to a similar application as a turningpoint. Poll everywhere does not require a complicated configuration and the display of the results in real time and in response size is a welcome feature.

CONS

Unfortunately, I didn't use Poll everywhere enough to find failures in it. Maybe he doesn't have one after all.

CONS

Would be nice to be able to configure more. Nicer graphics (looks quite a bit outdated), a little more flexibility on how to display results would be nice as well

Great add in for your presentation

I like the ease of setting up questions. I also like the ability to look at statistics afterwards. I ran into trouble the first time I used Poll anywhere though. I had it downloaded on my computer but the computer I used didn't have it. When I arrived to do my presentation, the hosts had the computer all set up and I had to E-mail the presentation to myself quickly. I got all the way into the presentation and then realized that the poll didn't work. The slides where there, but there was no interaction.

PROS

I like the interactive ability this gives me when presenting. I am always looking for ways to get the audience more involved. The audience is already on their phones so why not use them to get into the presentation.

CONS

Everytime I use a new computer, I have to download the program.

PROS

Poll Everywhere is very simple, functional, and easy to use. It is fast and easy to log on and gain access to the right poll.

CONS

The layout is dull and simplistic. It doesn't give you any feedback after completing a poll. It would benefit from some simple effects and a more interesting color pallette to engage users.
