I was excited to see this but then again...
Here's a poll created using Swift Polling
https://p.excitem.com/s/play/80178bc9-f073-46d1-8904-ac600fd1b439
The Web Polling looks good and the platform itself is easy to use for interactive presentations and webinars. You have 3 options
🌮 multiple choice
🌮 open ended
🌮 word cloud
What I don't like is that
🌮 every page has their own ad space (no way to put a link to your website or brand -- it's just excitem all through and through). It's like they get free advertisement for every presentation I make that I use their platform to engage my audience. I understand if this is a FREE tool like the wheel of ***** gamification platform, but NO this is a paid one at that.
🌮 Poll Forwarding does NOT WORK at all, not sure why that option is there! Just try voting on the poll and it should only show the results
🌮 Limited votes per stack, I think this one turned off a lot of Sumolings, and SMS was not included, even for a measly number.
🌮 Only 1 active POLL per account! This might also be a deal breaker. Is it 1 active poll per user so if one has 20 users then there is a maximum of 20 active polls??
Overall, I think it could have been better. If you're looking for an alternative, you can check out my review of Poll Guru, a current deal on the Marketplace. It is not as polished in terms of the interface, but has a lot more functionalities / options, albeit a bit rough on the edges. Here is a link to the same poll question on Poll Guru

I wish the team all the BEST on their next campaign after the deal ends in a few days!

Thank you for leaving a review and I'm sorry it didn't go very well for you. Let me address your concerns.

---> CNAME feature is on a Roadmap.
🌮 Poll Forwarding does NOT WORK at all, not sure why that option is there! Just try voting on the poll and it should only show the results
---> I'd like to learn more details about this because the Linking feature should work as expected. We could set up a quick call to go over this.
🌮 Limited votes per stack, I think this one turned off a lot of Sumolings, and SMS was not included, even for a measly number.
---> Stacks have a purpose to give you larger response limits as you purchase more. As per the requests by Sumo-lings, we have enlarged the limits per stack.
🌮 Only 1 active POLL per account! This might also be a deal breaker. Is it 1 active poll per user so if one has 20 users then there is a maximum of 20 active polls??
---> Active polls are not associated with the number of users. One active poll at a time means that at a given point of time for all the users there is 1 active question showing. If your event is not live, then you can have more than 1 active polls. You can find more details about this in our FAQ section.
I hope this helps. Please, feel free to reach out to us via email for more details.
Kindly,
Elizabeth
