"Reveal answers" capability from the app, so I'm not tied to my computer.
I'd love to be able to scan the room without showing the histogram on the screen (so students don't see the most popular answer), and then reveal it with the answer after scanning from the app.

Show Graph and Show Correct
Tap them to toggle the display of the correct answer and the graph of student responses.
We’d love to hear what you think!

"Next" Question Button
A "next" button for the mobile device, so after students have answered the question we can click "next" to move on to the next question rather than clicking the back arrow to get to the queue again. This takes up much needed time, and causes a lot on my peers to not use this application.

Let us know what you think!

Be able to see images on the data collection device
If you have numerous similar questions in your question bank, in order to choose the most appropriate one to use in a specific situation, it is important to see any accompanying diagram on your mobile device so you can quickly distinguish between the individual questions

Allow you to assign student names, but not show them in Live View
It would be helpful if you can assign the numbers to your class by name, but not have the names show in live preview (this is hard on kids who do not want others to know they got the answer wrong).
55 votesHi Plickers Friends,
You’ve mentioned that you wanted the ability to hide students’ names in Live View.
We’ve added a button to hide the student response panel entirely and bring that back out when you want to review students’ answers (via the graph, etc). This is the button with the little arrow in a box next to the Full Screen button at the top of the Live View page. If you haven’t gotten a chance to check it out, please do so!
If you specifically wanted to show the card numbers’ response, but not the names, and still have the student response panel visible, please get the new idea rolling on the forum! We want to be sure to address your needs, but for now it seems that this “show/hide” student response button resolves most of the voters’ issues here.
Thanks!

Allow for longer question lengths in the app
Is there a way to view longer questions for them to see without getting the "..." at the end from not having enough room? Am I doing something completely wrong? I am new to the application.
15 votesHi Plickers friends,
We’ve got a few updates for the iOS app underway now which should let you expand to see your full question in the app. We’ll be working on enabling full question previews on Android as well!
Stay tuned!

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!

This should happen now! Yay for syncing!

Do not make letter A the default correct answer
I don't think there should be a correct answer by default. That creates more clicking for the user.
12 votesI think you’re right!
Fixed in Android. iOS on the way soon.

Add iOS app features to Android app
- Create and Label questions
- Choose correct answers
- Clear response data
- Delete question
- Full-screen, portrait-mode camera like iOS
- Rotate answers button to fix scanning issues on some tablets
36 votesEureka! Android update released!
As soon as you update, you’ll be able to label your questions and set correct answers. The camera view is now full-screen, just like iOS. For those whose devices have been scanning answers incorrectly, there’s now a “Rotate answers” button (in the camera screen) that will let you calibrate the scanner. No delete yet, but you can clear the responses to a question. Let us know what you think – and please take a moment to rate the app in the Play Store!
Cheers,

Choose camera orientation for Android devices
On my Asus Android tablet, scanning Plickers worked, but every 'A'-answer was registered as a 'D' (and B became A; C became B; and D became C).
It was only after the session that I figured out that this was probably because i used the tablet in landscape.
If it's not possible to change it, a warning 'like keep this side up' might be helpful (now I only saw the warning about keeping the camera vertical)5 votesFixed! The new Android update lets you “Rotate answers” to choose the camera orientation – make sure you update your app!
What to do if your device is scanning answers incorrectly:
1. Download and install the updated Android app from the Play store
2. Navigate to the Plickers camera screen (you’ll need to choose a class and add a question)
3. Scan a card and confirm that the answer is incorrect
4. Press the menu button (3 squares) in the bottom-right. Use the “Rotate answers” button until the answer scans correctly.Let us know if you have any trouble!

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.

Clear response data for a poll
On the iOS app, the reset for a question needs to be made obvious. I still can't find it. Also, it would be nice to be able to view Help from within the iOS app.
6 votesStill need in-app Help, but Clear and Delete are now available in iOS
