You have vowed this year to get rid of those pesky paper surveys but the cost of the polling app, use of mobile rental solutions and fear of change are holding you back. What if you started looking at the feedback/polling solution in a whole new light?
While I am not here to preach about specific feedback apps (of which there are many), the intent of this blog is to help you understand how you might use polling in more creative ways, all without the hassle of distributing, collecting and tallying paper surveys.
Who Uses Mobile Polling Apps?

What are Mobile Polling Apps?
PowerPoint presentations running on projector rentals can easily integrate with polling apps that allow presenters and trainers to ask attendees interactive questions. These questions are usually typed into a PowerPoint slide and posed to the audience. The audience then uses their iPad rentals to respond to the questions in real-time. Once the app receives all the responses, this data can be immediately displayed on a graph and/or stored in a report for future analysis.
Mobile polling apps are simple to set up, easy to learn and very intuitive. They consist of three things:
• The app such as:
• Fast, secure and robust Wi-Fi and
• Mobile devices (such as tablets or smartphones)
Why Use Mobile Polling Apps?
Polling applications allow for an immediate gathering of important feedback. No paper to print, copy, ship, and tally. No lag time in gathering feedback. And, most importantly, the number of respondents sharply increases because it’s easy to complete.
90% of planners agree that polling apps provide a mechanism to allow attendees to be more engaged, ask questions related to the presentations and are they are generally excited to be at the meeting when they have a vehicle to be heard.
