5 Best Apps to Create Polls on iOS and Android
Visiting people personally to gather details about their use or perception of a particular product or industry using pen and paper has long been forgotten. The practice took time, was not secure and required too much manual input to get the desired result. Now, organizations are opting for dedicated survey applications to collect information from people and employees of the company. Survey apps are particularly useful now, as the majority of them are working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Businesses can use these apps to create surveys, share with employees, and take their feedback into account when making decisions. No need to ask them individually and manage the data.
The Apple App Store and Google Play Store are filled with survey apps to collect data. We have selected from the top five options. The list will include features, options, price, cross-platform availability, statistics, etc. Let’s start.
1. OpinionUp
OpinionUp is one of the best apps for creating surveys on the iOS platform. When you register, you are redirected to the home screen which displays the most popular surveys in the world.
Press the “+” button and create polls. You can customize the poll question background and even add images or GIFs from the gallery. As for the answer, you can add Yes / No, Agree / Disagree and create 2-4 personalized responses. Then customize the sharing options and add a category. You can also share the survey on Facebook or Twitter using the in-app integration.
I like the way OpinionUp allows you to create groups so that we can share the polls only with the members of its group. My favorite feature is the stats and instant comments feature. When you move the cursor to vote, the poll will highlight the current results.
If you have more to say on the survey question, you can add a detailed comment to share your opinion. You can also like the survey, invite others to participate and share the survey using the standard iOS sharing menu. The app is free and is only available for iOS devices on the Apple App Store.
2. SurveyMonkey
SurveyMonkey simplifies things. It will not offer a dedicated group or home page to display recent polls. The app focuses on creating polls and surveys with multiple questions.
Instead of a single survey, SurveyMonkey lets you create multiple questions with multiple pages. Go to “My surveys” and tap on creating a new survey. You can either start from scratch or choose from the template menu. It contains some of the most common ready-to-use questions to ask users.
When you start a new poll or poll, give it a relevant name and start adding questions. Now there are several ways to add questions in the app. You can add a question bank, plain text with answer box, a drop-down list, an image, a multiple choice question and much more. There is something for each scenario. The app also allows you to add a company logo and different customization themes.
SurveyMonkey allows you to link your social media accounts like Facebook, Google and LinkedIn to easily share the survey between people and employees. The application is available on iOS and Android.
3. Pollie
Pollie offers the perfect balance between simplicity and functions. The software is specially designed for small screens, and you will see it once you start using the application.
From the home screen, simply press the “+” button in the upper left corner and add details such as a question, a description, embed the image, add answer tabs, etc. I like the way we can add images in the response tab. It adds visuals and clarity. Readers can also be allowed to vote for more than one answer.
In addition, you can take an anonymous vote, which hides the name and email of the voter. You can also add a custom brand and add a logo and company details.
From the Home screen, you can tap the question and tap share to send the survey to friends and employees. The basic functions are free to use. Professional features such as graphics, own brand, voter email address, export to .CSV file and many more are priced at $ 10 per month. The application is available on iOS and Android.
4. Suggest
I know the user interface doesn’t matter much in questioning apps, but I have to give it to Suggestify. The application has the most beautiful design on the market. It uses the white theme with gradient colors.
From the home screen, you will see live polls entering the community. Press the “+” icon, and this will open the survey creation screen. You can choose a group to share the survey, add questions, a hashtag, add up to six responses. When creating a poll, you can set the poll expiration time, enable / disable comments, and let others share the poll.
You can create groups and even join existing groups. It is divided into categories. With the vote, you can also add a comment to share the views in detail. You can also see the number of users with a display name when voting.
Suggestify is free to download and use. The application is available on iOS and Android.
Create surveys wherever you are
As you can see from the list above, each survey application can collect data without moving a needle. OpinionUp and Suggestify are more focused on social use, SurveyMonkey and SurveyHeart offer better personalization with several questions. Pollie is simple and sticks to the basics.
