### "Effective interactive live audience participation tool"

August 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love Poll Everywhere as an interactive piece for presentations, anywhere from small presentations to my direct team, or having participated in larger town hall presentations where surveys are done live. Anytime you can use instant input to garner some buzz about some topic, you'll immediately get everyone's attention. The app is easy to use, interface works well, and company buy-in is convincing.

Cons

I would like to see PE push the envelope in terms of adding layers of complexity to its surveying ability. Perhaps some sort of stratification among demographics that you user profiles could dictate.

### "It works!"

December 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

We have used several times for conferences and events. It worked as expected and was pretty easy to use. Customer service, when needed, was very good.

Cons

We have one or two poll questions that did not display but it is hard to say who's fault this was -- the operator of the system!

### "A Great Way to Make Presentations More Interactive"

April 15, 2019

4.0

This tool is really helpful to use whether presenting to students or colleagues. It is free and worth the time and energy to incorporate into a slideshow or presentation.

Pros

Using Poll Everywhere is a great way to make PowerPoint and other classroom/conference room style presentations more engaging and interactive. There are several fun and unique ways to have audience members or participants be more involved with the presentation through multiple choice and open-ended questions.

Cons

For the participant unfamiliar with Poll Everywhere, it can be a bit confusing to use the system via a cell phone at first. There are several different numbers/codes that need to be submitted to ensure your responses go to the correct place and are included in the group discussion/responses. However, once the user learns and is logged in, it is easy to catch on.

### "Poll Everywhere"

December 8, 2019

5.0

Frequently incorporated into university lectures for occasional knowledge checks

Pros

Encourages students to interact in some way if too shy to do so in person; allows instructors to easily gauge student familiarity with concepts and redirect teaching pathway and methods if needed

Cons

Design seems to be somewhat dated; could have more interface options (besides just multiple choice and free answer)

### "Great for teachers, professors, training sessions etc."

May 26, 2018

5.0

Keep your audience active, engaged and attentive.

Pros

Poll Everywhere does a great job of keeping people (whether that be students or people in a training session or meeting active and engaged). You really can't ask for much more than that.

Cons

Not really too many cons I can think of here...it would be nice if the free version offered deletion, but not really a huge issue for a small scale trainings I have used it for.

### "What a fun way to involve audiences"

December 15, 2018

5.0

Large audiences need to feel connected to the presenter, and this software app makes that easy.

Pros

Simple and fast for audiences to engage at a conference.

Cons

The download experience for each user is different to get set up, but once set up it is streamlined.

### "Fun and interactive way to poll the classroom"

May 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like the different ways you can allow the users to answer. This site offers the ability to answer questions in a variety of ways such as select all, multiple choice, ranking, short answer. It keeps the user more interested. I also enjoy the fact that it shows the percentages of users who answered with a certain answer.

Cons

Although its great to be able to see the percentages of users who answered with a certain answer, I have had issues with the users changing their answer due to this being visible. It is probably a setting that just needs to be changed on my end.

### "Great add in for your presentation"

November 25, 2018

4.0

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.

### "A User's Polling Dream"

December 5, 2019

5.0

I have only used this product as a poll-ee. Though I imagine the poll creation process is easy, as a user taking the polls, I am comfortable endorsing this as a great tool for interacting with users.

Pros

\- Poll Everywhere integrates into Powerpoint presentations, making it ideal for live demos. If you're looking for a simple data collection tool, I may look elsewhere, but this is great for polling a crowd. - Shows responses change in real-time. If answer shift over the course of a 5 minute collection period, we see that!

Cons

\- When using the word cloud feature, it does not always pair words correctly. I'd like to see that fixed - the colors are mild and unexciting. It looks great, but i'd love to see some falir

### "Fast to use"

June 17, 2020

5.0

Overall, I would say my experience with Poll Everywhere has been positive and I will continue to use this software.

Pros

What I like most about Poll Everywhere is how fast it is to create a poll and use the poll. This software really does save me a lot of time.

Cons

I cannot think of what I like least about this software because it is a very good software and I enjoy using it.

### "Dynamic Audience Participation!"

May 31, 2019

5.0

I used Poll Everywhere to solicit audience participation during a presentation. It was very popular and I received praise from multiple attendees afterwards that they liked the novelty of being able to text a response, and that they felt more engaged. Technically, it worked without any difficulty and it was seamless. I look forward to using Poll Everywhere in the future!

Pros

The ability to easily integrate live audience responses into a presentation. I also appreciate how simple it is to customize the software for your specific needs; there are tons of options to tweak the type of responses, how many responses are allowed, the time frame for collecting data, and how it is displayed. The web interface is easy to use, but I also appreciate having the ability to download a desktop version to integrate with presentation software.

Cons

There is a slight learning curve to figuring out how to best set up questions. You can only collect responses for one question at a time, so managing this can be challenging at first. However, the software offers many ways to change it including timers, so it's easily manageable.

### "Increase class interaction with Poll Everywhere"

May 29, 2019

5.0

Its simple and easy to use from your computer. Set up is quick. We used this as an alternative to iclicker, which we usually use for response submissions during a presentation.

Pros

It is a great way to test peoples's knowledge with multiple choice questions or having a group of people respond to a question without having to raise their hands. It is a great way to keep people engaged during a lecture or presentation. I like the diversity of response options that it allows; instead of just allowing multiple choice questions, it also allows for true/false, free response, ect.

Cons

There is nothing that i disliked about this software.

### "Fun way to get audience participation during presentations"

November 13, 2019

5.0

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"

July 19, 2021

5.0

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.

### "Poll Everywhere Review"

July 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

I really like that it's easy to use, and that you can change your subscription to use it only when you need it. It also has a lot of customizable stuff when you're setting up a poll.

Cons

The feature that lets you embed the poll into a presentation software never really worked for me. It also doesn't have ProPresenter as one of the available presentation options, which is what we primarily use.

### "A useful tool for engaging an audience"

November 29, 2021

3.0

The main benefit is audience engagement in a presentation.

Pros

Poll Everywhere has been relatively easy to use in presentations to students as a real time, visual-oriented way of soliciting their thoughts on a subject that becomes in turn a springboard for further discussion.

Cons

Sometimes Poll Everywhere seems to limit the number of users who can participate, so can be limiting in that way.

### "Makes meetings Engaging"

September 11, 2018

4.0

Overall, we have loved it, and have no complaints about it. Its the only polling software we use.

Pros

I really love how you can see results real time and helps make meetings much more engaging. The program also works very well with almost no lag time.

Cons

My one complaint is the pricing. While they do offer a "Free" version if you have a lot of participants that not going to work for you. I think the pricing is a bit steep and think they could offer some better options.

### "It was a great tool to keep listeners engaged during a presentation. "

April 25, 2018

4.0

Portable software to enhance a presentation and engage a wide audience!

Pros

Users do not need to do any prep work before a presentation in order to participate in the polls. There are tons of different options for types of polls. You can easily keep people engaged with a new question or poll every slide.

Cons

It was not as easy to customize as I would have liked. You have to pay to customize and even when I paid they did not have our branded company colors. It was also a little touchy when you try to upload pictures as the background. It just takes a lot of work but eventually, I was able to customize the product and have a great presentation. The only other issue I had was it gets a little "iffy" when you have multiple people trying to give the presentation from different computers when we were not with each other. At one point I had to control the slideshow via Skype while watching my partner give the presentation in another state because he was unable to activate/deactivate the polls.

### "Good for a free app"

February 19, 2019

4.0

Poll Everywhere is great for teachers and students.

Pros

I like that this app allows for students to be counted and surveyed without the use of an iClicker. Instructor can easily ask a question for students to answer in real time. I also love how you can see how the precentage of the class answered.

Cons

Logging in can be tricky and use through data (when you dont have wifi) is confusing to navigate.

### "Great polling software"

November 25, 2019

5.0

My favorite online assessment tool because it it can be used directly inside a google docs slideshow

Pros

I use poll everywhere for online teaching as a tool to make the learning sessions engaging and allow my students to participate.

Cons

I wish that the tool didn't have to insert a slide for each portion of a quiz when being added to a google slides so that the slideshow doesn't become massive

### "Poll Everywhere Creates Challenges With Powerpoint"

May 19, 2021

2.0

Not great. There are other products that have the same functionality \[and more\] and don't create mayhem when you open up other software. I ended up purchasing Kahoot! that does a lot more and covers the same functions.

Pros

I love the idea of capturing feedback during webinars to make them more engaging and collect data to use.

Cons

This totally messed up my PowerPoint...every time I opened PPT...it would send an error message, open up a webpage and a send log window. Such a mess. Had to uninstall.

Pros

I like the way the product allows the users to interactive with one another when polling questions during events

Cons
