Add tags to questions to allow searching of large libraries
FOlders are useful for orghanisation but tags for questions would also allow you to quickly search existing question library for relevant Qs. E.g. folders for organisation by class, but still able to search tags for relevant content/topic.

Warmer/Ice breaker for your class
Hey, I'd like to share about how to use this cool app as a warmer before start the class, and might be good as an ice-breaker.
Just use true/false type for your questions.
Here's the example:
Statements:
- I am cool. (lol)
- I am boring.
- You guys are happy with me.
- Let's go home
- We have to sing a song.
bla bla bla....
And then, based on the results, you could ask your students to share their opinions.
As an ESL teacher, I use this method as a warmer, trying to STIMULATE them to say something. Build their confidence.
Hope it…

How about an option to make the cards personal to the student.
If I could include their name on the card, I wouldn't spend time remembering who is which number. Also, if I allowed them to keep cards with them, it would be easier when other teachers find the cards left in their room or hallway.

Be able to use plickers with a PowerPoint or Word doc already created or a copy/paste method instead of entering each question individually.

Student generated questions
A lot of students are afraid to ask questions, because they don't want to look silly in front of their peers. Plickers could help them by allowing students to generate their own questions on their phones in private, upload the questions to Plickers and the Teachers can scan their cards to reveal questions that they have generated without anyone knowing who came up with the question.

Plickers card design editor
How about some sort of online editor that allows us to choose a picture to go with each orientation of the QR code, I could use it with the younger pupils as an assessment tool if I could attach smiley faces to each side, for example A=FULL SMILE, B=STRAIGHT FACE C=PUZZLED FACE D=SAD FACE, that way I could see at a glance how my pupils have felt the lesson has gone for them.

Create a faster way to start to do on-the-fly polling, without setting up a question
As a quick feedback tool, I would like to scan the room for student responses based on a question from outside Plickers. I'd like to just collect the data without having to set up a question (or multiple questions... e.g. reviewing a 25Q MC quiz)

Hi Plickers friends!
We actually do have a way to collect data without setting up a question — you can simply tap the [+] button to create a new question, then tap the correct answer letter(s) and go ahead and tap the camera icon to start scanning the “empty” question.
What I’m really hearing here is that you’d like to have a faster way to do on-the-fly polling, and that is something we’d very much like to work on. To that end, I’m modifying this idea title just a bit to specify that!
We’re looking forward to changing up a lot of the mobile interface to make Plickers more intuitive and easy to use over the next few weeks!
Thanks!

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.

More than 63 unique cards
I'd like to use Plickers with more than 63 students/respondents at once.
Example uses:
- Model the use of Plickers at large PD sessions (approx. 200 respondents)
- Large university classrooms (100+ respondents)Let us know in a comment how many you'd need!

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 -
Built in LATEX equation editor for questions and answers
As a physics teacher it would be a real boon to be able to quickly and easily insert equations to questions and answers. Latex would be perfect for this, and online platforms already exist which convert latex code into an equation image. Combining this with Plickers would be absolutely awesome.

Import Images via Google Drive
The 'Add Image' tool is great! But you can only upload pictures that are saved on your computer. I only use Google Drive and it would be great if I could access images from there instead of only being able to access images saved on my computer. Even better would be the ability to copy and paste images into the question box.

Two sided cards for one student.
Allowing ABCDEFG(H). This would allow testing of simple music notation.

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.

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

Import questions from 3rd-party sources
It would be great to be able to create the questions on the website as well as the app and to be able to import preexisting questions from other sources like USA Test Prep, etc.
*Note from Plickers: We'd love to hear more about the resources you'd like to import questions from -- this will better guide us in figuring out what content-providers we'd want to work with down the road to provide better content for you!

Allow for student groups to be created from the class list
We have a whole year group set up as a class and we would like to then pick from that class a group for maths, a group for English, etc. so that the students then only need 1 plickers card to cover all of the subjects and the teachers create their groups from the same generic class list.
