ALLOW STUDENTS TO RESPOND WITH THEIR CELL PHONES
90% of my students have cell phones. I wish there was a way like the Remind app where my students can respond via their phones in conjunction with their cards.

I think allowing students to respond with their cell phones would be a great idea. This would be particularly helpful for students who don't have access to traditional clickers or other devices. In fact, there are programs like TruConnect that provide free phones and data plans to those in need, which could further level the playing field for all students. Here https://truconnect.pissedconsumer.com/review.html you will find more relevant info.

I agree with Richard. The lack of phones is what I love about Plickers-- It's so much faster!

Kahoots also has a mobile function -- more of a competitive game though

Josh, Socrative already does this pretty well and is also free - perhaps you should check that out. Obviously you won't be able to share your question bank across the two but this system is almost the opposite of what Plickers seems to be all about and doesn't seem like a direction PLickers would head in.
