"Comprehension Check" option
This would simply allows students to vote, but no prep of questions is required--simply polling the results in real-time to check their understanding.

Possibility adding colours to the question
Is it possible to add colours to the questions? Because it's easy to add colours to the answering cards, but the colours on the cards are of no use if the questions don't have the same colours.

Link Google Sheet with Plickers for fast, collaborative question creation.
Creating questions would be easy in a spreadsheet. Question answers ans correct responses in different columns, with a category of class added to aid organisation would be great. Connect the Google Sheet to plickers and off you go. Copy and Paste is fine, but the current way of adding questions for your class with no sharing to speed up the process doesn't match with the amazing use of the app . Questions from a bank by subject would well be worth paying for!

To be able to tag a question with a specific standard that would then be entered into a bank so teachers could search specific standards.
If we were able to create questions and tag them with the specific standard then we could share them on the site. Teachers would then be able to search for a standard and the bank of questions would be available to them. This would save everyone so much time and would stop us from reinventing the wheel.

Pop up menus instead of drop down
It would be great to have the list of class names pop up instead of drop down when adding questions to a queue. I have 8+ classes and when I click to add a question to the queue, I have to scroll down to see the bottom of the list. This is a lot of scrolling when I'm adding many questions to queue.

Plickers could have pre-created questions in a data base to choose from.
Plickers could have pre-created questions in a data base. They could be categorized like Movies, Actors, TV Shows, Sports, books and general interest. Then we could use your questions to insert them in our queues. For instance...I could have 3 vocabulary questions and then one about movies (to make more motivating). Then 3 more of my questions and then another about sports. And you could have simple questions like: Which of this movies is not about Sci-fi : a) Star Wars b) Contact c) E.T d) Deep blue. We teachers could save A LOT of time if I have the…

Copy/Paste pictures into questions
It would be much easier to just copy & paste images into questions rather than having to save them first and then upload them!

Assessing with Plickers, problems and thoughts.
Today I'm giving a quiz using the plickers. When I had a student come in half way through the test I realized that there was no way to go back since the questions disappear out of the queue. It also made me realize that giving a makeup quiz for my absentees will also be a problem. During this lovely flu and cold season I will need to reload the quiz into the queue every time I have a student make up the quiz. Being able to print out a paper version of a set of questions or the option export…

I would love to be able to access a bank of questions based on standards created by other teachers.
It would be wonderful if I could access a bank of questions created by other teachers based on grade level standards. Why reinvent the wheel?

Make it more user friendly for Specials' teachers and teachers with multiple sections.
For tests involving music or listening, make it possible to upload the music or instrument sample, so that students may listen and answer the question involving the sample. Also, make it possible to list rosters by grade level for all level PE, art AND music teachers.

Fonts sizes and styles
It would be helpful to be able to change font sizes and styles in both the question and the answer choices. My first graders have a hard time reading the small font and the letter a. When I try and test things like commas and periods, it is so hard to see.

Hide questions for younger students
I teach Kindergarten and would like to be able to hide the question. I read the questions to my students but there are times that I don't want them to see the question because the answer is in the question. For example: Which word says "what"? or "Which letter says /a/?" In these cases I need to see the question to ask it but the students don't need to see it because I don't want them to "see" what I'm asking.

I would like an assessment bank to share questions. Have categories, like 3rd grade fractions or elementary floor hockey. Click to share.
When you write a questions, there could be an option to click on "share." Then you put in it in a age group "Elementary" or "5th grade" and then the topic. For instance, "Elementary volleyball" or "5th grade, division". It would be great when planning a unit, to see if there are questions already ready instead of creating your own each time. It would be a time saver and there would be a better chance the students have a better quality of questions than just me creating them all.

Being able to edit question structures
I'd like to be able to edit things like the question labels, i.e. 'A, B, C, D' and change these to '1, 2, 3, 4' or add to them. It would also be good to be able to change 'True/False' to 'Yes/No' also - especially when using Plickers for evaluation purposes
