1. Poll Everywhere

The first app is Poll Everywhere which is available on both Android and iOS. Poll Everywhere was developed with live audience polling in mind. For example, you can create an attendance poll with all the students in the class. Students will then use the widget or app to mark attendance instead of raising hands.

Finally, the votes will be ranked for making quick decisions.

What I like is the ability to view results and sort them by gender, location, and age groups. This makes Pollpop stand out from other social polling apps that we saw above. If you rather work in a group, you can create one and add friends to it for private polls.

Pollpop is a free app with no ads whatsoever.

Pros:

  • Social polling
  • Group polling
  • Comments system
  • WhatsApp integration

Cons:

  • None

Know what a word cloud is? It is a cloud of words where each word is given a color and font size to represent importance. Mentimeter can create word clouds based on the feedback received from polls. There is no limit to the number of participants in the free account.

You can create public or private events and invite others to watch your presentation and give feedback. If you are a visual person, Mentimeter is for you. There are 15 different ways to visualize and interact with the data collected. Another neat feature is segmentation using which, you can create groups to see how the answer changes between them. It’s like A/B testing.

Mentimeter will cost you $9/month for asking unlimited questions and export data from the app.

Pros:

  • Cross-platform

5. SurveyMonkey

If you want to conduct not just polls but also do some surveys, look no further than SurveyMonkey. One of the most popular surveys and poll apps on Android and iOS platforms. Do note that SurveyMonkey is first a survey app and then a poll app. However, these two often go hand in hand.

There are a lot of ways to design your polls and surveys. They have ready made templates to choose from or you can create your own. Adding questions, reordering them, collecting feedback, and sharing polls and surveys is so much easy with their functional and beautiful UI.

6. Crowdsignal

Crowdsignal is another app that was built to scale and adjust for businesses who are looking for a server-side solution. You can create both polls and surveys using templates designed for a number of industries. Like SurveyMonkey, Crowdsignal is a feature-rich polling app. The only drawback is that it is not available on the Play Store.

There are a lot of formatting options available to design text in surveys and polls. However, not all features we saw above are available here. Crowsignal misses answer validation, A/B testing, and Android app.

Crowdsignal lacks some features of SurveyMonkey but it is also less costly. Plans begin at $17/month. The free account comes with unlimited surveys but limited polling and rating features.

Pros:

  • Polls and surveys
  • Templates
  • Easy sharing with direct links
  • Flexible layout

Polling Apps for Android and iOS

If you want something simple, less expensive, and be done with your polling as soon as possible, I would recommend you to go for Poll Everywhere. VoxVote is also a pretty solid polling app you should look into. These two are fairly advanced apps for meetings, events, and presentations. Finally, if you need something more sophisticated, powerful, and need to conduct both surveys and polls, then there is no other app that matches SurveyMonkey. Period.
