Hi there!
Since a number of website changes this fall, you may have noticed that we’ve removed the feedback tab entirely! Now you can access immediate help with our “?” button at the bottom of the page, and find links for feedback in our FAQ. Thank you for drawing the feedback tab’s distraction to our attention!

Hello friends!
As you may have noticed, we’ve added the “Question Queue” on the website that allows you to reorder your questions and sync the queue to your mobile app.
If you specifically would like a way to reorder questions from within the app, please start a new thread on our forum so we can have fresh votes for the feature for those who don’t find the website feature helpful.
Thank you for all of your input!

Is it possible to support more than 40 students?
Classes in China often have more than 40 students. Can Plickers support scans more than 40?

Make website more user-friendly
The main web page is not very helpful. "Details" "Cards" "Support" are vague and do not clearly show how to add a new class or to display poll data. I have also not been able to get my PC to display the poll data, though I have gone through the steps several times.
1 voteHi there!
We hope that the new website is a vast improvement from what it looked like back in May. Please check it out if you haven’t and let us know!

Easy way to go to next question.
When in Teach mode, next question does not automatically load after completely captured answers. Or have an option while in Teach mode to go to the next question.
4 votesIn Version 2.0, opening a poll in the app (no need to scan) should update the new Live View to show that poll. So you can show students the question before having them answer.

Have quizzes start on #1 in Teach Mode
For some reason, when I click "Teach", it does not bring me to question 1. Plus, there is no way to view results/data navigating from question to question.
In addition to that, I think that you should be able to group questions into quizzes (but I see that's already been suggested).
This is a great, great thing. Thanks for offering it!2 votesThanks for the suggestion here; we’ve completely updated “Teach Mode” with the new Live View of Plickers 2.0. It now starts on whichever question your app is pointing to! If that’s not what you’d like to see, please add a different idea to our forum! Thanks so much!

make the letter choices on the cards larger and easier for the students to read
In practicing with the cards before fully implementing them, I have noticed many students struggle to read the letter choices on the cards. If you could make the letters larger that would help the students make their selections much quicker.
4 votesHi there,
Thank you for submitting this idea for larger letters on Plickers cards. We think you’ll be happy to know that if you go to the “Cards” tab on plickers.com, you’ll be able to download a PDF for “Large font” — we hope this helps!
Best,

Delete old polls from the website
Is there a way to clear/delete polls listed on the website under a particular class?

Greater contrast on the grid screen
I'd like it if the contrast were greater when polling. Like, changing colors or using red and blue vs white and grey.
2 votesWe think we’ve updated the views to be better for showing correct/incorrect, etc. in the new website. It’d be great if you could provide feedback on whether you think we addressed this issue in the Plickers 2.0 update!

Be able to insert pictures or graphs into the questions
Many subjects would benefit from the ability to add pictures or graphs into the questions. It would be SUPER easy to do if we could edit questions on the computer rather than on the app. We could simply copy and past info in. I teach geography and would like to put in a picture of a country and have them identify it. Or a math teacher would benefit from having graphs or charts in the questions. PLEASE make this happen!

Improved Result Sorting (Alphabetically, by result, by last name, first name, Plicker #, etc)
When reviewing the polling data, it's sorted by time-stamp. Teachers would like it sorted by student name (last and first), and by data (what group all said 'A'? B? etc).
35 votesHello Plickers teachers!
In Spring 2015, we added the ability to sort your reports results by answer choice, card number, first, or last name. You can click on the column heading to change how student results are listed.

More Card .pdf options
Where do I find Plickers cards?
I have more than 40 students at a time. Is there a pdf with more cards?
[via http://www.reddit.com/r/Teachers/comments/20y2x5/free_alternative_to_clickers/] Can I write the numbers and/or letters bigger, or will that disrupt the scan? I have some students that would really benefit from larger print.

View data by student
We need a way to view results for each student easily. I would like an option for choosing a student and viewing their data over multiple questions. I would also like to be able to see a line graph produced to see trends over time.
I would like to be able to click on a student name and see a history of responses (percentage correct, questioned answered, category of questions/skills where the student excels or struggles, etc.).

Increase the maximum number of responses
Be able to have more than 40 responses.
Thanks for your help in Jan. This is a fantastic program and I'm sure that it will become very popular on our campus.

Organize questions
There needs to be an organization system for questions. It would be great to group them in folders by topics. For example, as an English teacher I could have questions sorted by folders for our various grammar units. Also, the idea of having quizzes with multiple questions would be useful and reduce clutter. For example, I wanted to poll my class with four or five grammar questions and had to create that many separate questions one at a time instead of having just one quiz.
It would also be great to re-use questions and/or folders in other classes.

Thank you so much for all your help getting this feature off the ground!

Show data on computer screen!
I think it would be great if the student's data not only showed up on my phone, but on my computer screen as well! That way the kids (and not only the teacher) could see that 8 of them chose A, 2 of them chose B, etc, etc.
4 votesiOS bug fixed! If your device is online, the Teach page should live-update while polling. Make sure you try both the Grid and Graph views! Let us know if you have any issues.

Make the Teach view track along with the app
The Teach view should automatically switch to the question I'm viewing in the app when I move from one question to another.
It only updates to show the question I'm viewing in the app when I scan a card or edit the question. I'd like it to move in lockstep with the app as I switch from question to question.
2 votesWhat a great idea, Nolan! Done!
