Have a "Hide answers" button.
This allows students to think/answer the question BEFORE seeing answers that will guide their thinking. Too often (especially in math, what I teach), the MC solutions guide student thinking, rather than the problem guiding thinking. I want to be able to hide the answers so that students are not working backwards and guessing based on the MC answers.

I would like to be part of the test group if you still need someone.

This also would be great when you're doing a "listening only" assessment where I don't want the students to see what I have written down for a question, just to listen an answer it.

I would also test this out. I was playing back and forth with my computer and tablet today to show answers etc...

I have an idea for a work around in the meantime. You can show the question from a powerpoint (which will allow you to hide the answer choices if you format it correctly. The students dont really need to see the live view for you to use your mobile device ans scan answers. You also do not have to type the question twice. Just copy the powerpoint version of the question, paste it all into the plicker library question, then from what you just pasted, cut D and paste in the d answer spot, cut C and paste in the c answer spot and so on. (I personally dont even do that, I just copy the question into the library so I know what it was, then type "a, b, c, d" into the four spots just so there is an option there.
