Better way for On-the Fly
Here is it. I agree that it has to be faster. Here is a screencast of how I think it should be done. Being required to type in a question and answer is not true on-the-fly questioning. Plus, you have to predetermine the answer, which takes too much valuable time.

Add video content and share quizzes
Users need to be able to share Plicker quizzes with each other, also the option to add YouTube video clips as a stimulus like in Kahoot

Make Plickers fully usable completely offline, i.e. without internet connection.
Wired or Bluetooth connections between the reader (phone, webcam, ...) and data processing/storage device (conputer) may be necessary but where internet connectivity is unreliable, a system which needs an internet connection is a non-starter.

I would like to have two teachers be able to scan and have their phones update with students who have been scanned on the others phone
My co-teacher and myself are scanning kids cards. While it updates on the screen when we both scan them in, it does not update on each of our phones, this would be nice as well. Thanks

Mouse Over Image Enlargement
I am using the insert picture feature into my questions, but the images are too small. I believe that I do not have control over the size of the image that your question holds.
My suggestion is a mouse over feature, that would temporarily enlarge the image so that students can see it better on the display.

A way to embed the live graph into Powerpoint
With a direct embed into Powerpoint, there would be no clunky switches from presentation to plickers' site. The LiveWeb add-in for Powerpoint embeds the webpage, but is far too inelegant to the point that switching is often better.

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.

Mark a student absent
I would like to be able to mark a student absent, so I don't continually think they didn't respond. If possible, the fraction could represent the number of people present that day.
Example: I have 43 students enrolled in the class, 2 students are absent (which I would love to do via plickers - my first scan would be called attendance then if I could click their name and check a box or something to effectively eliminate them from the roster that day it would be amazing. I could do it differently if that is too difficult to program.) After…407 votes -
Connect it to Edmodo
I'm using edmodo with my students, if it was connected this would be amazing. Student data would then be live.

Add some type of game integration. (Gamify Plickers)
Qwizdom and Socrative both have games that are played when answering question. It is merely a graphical display of what students are answering the most positive questions. It will require that you add the ability to make quizzes first. An example of game integration is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEsoFaubtS0

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.

Option for teacher to input students answer
It would be great if there a way to easily input a students answer choice if they forgot their card that day. Most students have their cards most days, but there is always one or two per day that left their binder at home. It would be great if there was an easy way for me as the teacher to put in their answer selection, as opposed to printing them a new card every time

Android users can scan in portrait or landscape mode, and we’re currently working on this for iOS users. It should be available in a future app update! Hang in there!

Create and edit classes in the app
It would be nice to be able to create/edit classes in the app. That way, if you get a new student, it's easy to add them without signing into the website.

Accessibility Features
If a sound could chime when a correct answer was recorded, the app would be more interactive for blind students. Part of what students love is seeing that their answer has been recorded in live view. Adding a simple chime would involve sight impaired participants. If you only had a chime for correct answers, rather than all answers, students could hear the feedback. One chime? We need to review the material. Lots of chimes? We got this one. - Thank you for creating and supporting this wonderful app!

Printable Quiz
Make the quiz printable so that students who are absent when the quiz is given will have the ability to take the quiz offline, on paper. This way, the student can make up the quiz and not hold up the class to do so.

Scrambling questions/answers
Having a scramble feature so that the order of the questions/answers are mixed between periods. If the questions/answers are in the same order period after period, my students pass on the answers to the next class.
