Swift Polling

Great solution for questions from the audience

Kommentare: Overall, I was impressed with the functionality, text numbers, and options for something with such a good price. Definitely worth checking out!

Vorteile:

Loved that I got a text number and could try this software out without spending a fortune. Very competitive pricing, and worked for my use case of getting the audience to supply questions without seeing everyone elses questions. Pretty easy to use interface, and got everything to work for me. The support was good too.

Nachteile:

The big missing feature was a checkbox to prevent audience members to see other peoples questions when using the website to submit their question. Oddly, this option is available for polls, but not for open-ended questions. Didn't look like I could easily embed live polls in a presentation, but then that's not really what this software is for, or my particular use case.

My students love it!

Kommentare: Customer service was outstanding. I noticed other polling sites and their costs as well, and I think it all is expensive. It has been worth it to me, but I can easily see man teacher not justifying the cost. That aside, this program has helped me understand what I am doing right or wrong, and my students as well, in the classroom.

Vorteile:

I use this to check for understanding in the classroom. I embed the links in my PowerPoint presentations and the students take it from there. It's great to get live feedback to see what the students retained and understood, and what they still need work on. If further re-teaching is needed, it can be addressed immediately, rather than waiting for the results of a quiz or a test. The students have a blast with it as well. They get so excited when they choose the correct answer and how they stacked up to the rest of the class.

Nachteile:

The software is fine. If there is one con, it's that I have to switch which poll is live in the middle of my instruction. I'm an experienced teacher, so I do this seamlessly while continuing to teach. That being said, I can also see where this could slow a lesson down or be one too many steps for a fellow teacher to want to tackle within a lesson. However, I am aware that this software is not necessarily designed for how I use it.

A little clunky, but they're working on it.

Vorteile:

This software is more cost effective than other products on the market, which was the biggest draw for our nonprofit organization.

Nachteile:

The presentation/audience view of an active, live poll is not the cleanest. The font sizes are small, and there are very few appearance options to customize the look of the audience view. The integration with PPT was clunky - had to exit out of presentation mode in order to operate multiple survey questions due to the need to "stop" each question before proceeding to the next.

Awesome , Easy, FUN

Kommentare: Data!

Vorteile:

Very easy to learn to navigate! I was able to get the support I needed because the team at Swift Poll is very responsive. They were always available to help.

Nachteile:

Some of the features did not work, like the receive a response text. We wanted to do a trivia game but since that feature did not work we were not able to do that.

Excellent Polling Solution!

Kommentare: This software allowed us to get data from our event attendees to help select the future direction of our organization.

Vorteile:

The customer service received from the Swift team was phenomenal! I had several questions and needed some specific things answered regarding our event and they were very quick to respond and went above and beyond to help out

Nachteile:

I wish there were some more options for displaying the content to the users during the event. I made it work but I just wish there was a little more customization in how the content is displayed.
