VoxVote Reviews

I wanted to add an audience participation tool to a live event and Voxvote was easy to implement.

Pros:

It allows an unlimited number of respondents and many features which can be customized. It was easy to implement and the tutorial was helpful. They let you try it for free 5 times so you can test drive it.

Cons:

Ask me again in a few months after I've used it a few times. I am still playing around with it and don't know what I like or don't like yet. i would love to be able to integrate the questions right into my powerpoint, but at this point it looks like I will be toggling back and forth. Let me know it this is not correct.

Great to use in Physics classes!

Comments: I use it in classes. After explaining a concept, I ask a few questions on VoxVote to check if the students understood it.

Pros:

It's simple to use. It lets you know immediately whether students understand a concept.

Cons:

It is difficult to write mathematical formulas and equations

Useful but limited free version

Pros:

It does what I expect it to do, namely to collect data from audience.

Cons:

The free option for newly registered is extremely limited while the paid options are expensive for this type of an app. Archivating an event is an irreversible decision, however the user is not warned for this.

Good first impressions

Comments: So far, so good. it seem to have the features I need.

Pros:

Simple format and pretty intuitive. Sensible amount of free credit to trial the product.

Cons:

Not the easiest to locate the QR code for a poll. i wanted to print it in advance for a handout to delegates but took me a while to find it.

Voxvote very useable

Comments: Used satisfactorily for many years, started out on educational account.

Pros:

Easily and readily accessible. Presentation mode works well.

Cons:

Difficult to change order of slides, no compatibility with powerpoint, Editing slides (not questions) is cumbersome, selecting colors is difficult as a color always needs to be selected from the palette, not preset.

Great Tool for Class Interactions

Comments: I have been using VoxVote for several years and it never let me down. Quick to prepare, deploy customize and redeploy - saving time. A reliable tool.

Pros:

Easy to use, customize and present. I could also copy question and duplicate events and then customize and redeploy.

Cons:

I think perhaps some animations and music could turn it into a great quizshow tool as well.

Free and easy

Comments: I only used it at one event so far. Further experiences will follow.

Pros:

It is easy to operate und to understand. Free to test. Non-limited number of participants.

Cons:

Nothing. I only used it at one event so far. I haven't identified drawbacks.

Vox Voting Is Cool

Comments: Helps us administer Board and key nominated volunteer position voting for our nonprofit organization.

Pros:

Creating custom questions and responses. Live voting through internet interface with real-time displays.

Cons:

Clear voting data for a question(s) to re-administer the question and vote.

VoxVote review

Pros:

My audience values seeing immediate poll results. This information helps validate relevancy of my presentation.

Cons:

As a presenter in charge of all my own tech, it is a little challenging in a live audience venue to toggle between a slide presentation and VoxVote. The process isn't seamless. I wish there was a setting to have my adult audience advance through questions at my direction without my having to manually advance the questions.

Voxvote for medicine

Comments: amazing!

Pros:

It's very easy to use and friendly! You can share results and visualize them in a very simple way!

Cons:

You have to get more credits, so for educational purposes you have to have funding

A very interesting and useful product

Comments: I use de product in classe to help the discussion of some subjects

Pros:

The product is very useful and easy to use.

Cons:

I really like this product and I can't find anything less good

association

Pros:

- good for annonynous good for organsiation

Cons:

- literally non becasue i relaly like this product

Expensive and opportunities areas

Pros:

Voting online, Facilities to show options and QR code

Cons:

Is expensive and the people could vote more than once

Great App (with some minor flaws)

Comments: The flaws described above are rather minor, and will probably get addressed. All in all a great alternative for interactive lectures!

Pros:

I really like the "bring your own device" or BYOD philosophy. It makes this very easily accessible and eliminates hardware logistics for the presenters/organizers. There is a nice variety of question or rather answer types, including multiple choice and free text/word cloud. Creating a quiz is very easy, and with a bit of experience it requires hardly any effort.

Cons:

The designer interface as well as the presentation itself are not very intuitive or self explanatory. You actually have to know what you are doing especially regarding key shortcuts, otherwise you can feel lost (I hid the results by accident during my first presentation with Voxvote, and couldn't make them reappear, for example). It's easy once you consult the documentation though. The screen for the audience does not update automatically. In order to keep track of how many people have voted, you have to keep pushing the refresh button. I haven't found a way yet to make Voxvote show the correct answer after voting, but I do it in Powerpoint instead. The screen the audience sees is the same one that the presenter sees on his screen. I think it would be nicer if there was a presenter screen with all info and a cleaner, uncluttered audience screen on the 2nd monitor/projector.

Why VoxVote works for researchers

Comments: VoxVote has helped me tremendously to gather (and present) my research data in my PhD research project.

Pros:

The design of VoxVote enables first time users to run a voting session without extensive study of functions. Export functions to Excel and PDF work flawlessly and allow to manipulate the data obtained. Audiences feel no security barriers to join voting sessions as they do not have to download apps to participate. The possibility of instant projection of group perceptions enhances communication effects of public presentations.

Cons:

The lack of a presentation mode by which you can show the results of all questions asked in one screen. If scrolling would be required this is no problem, but presenting all results in one go would be an important improvement.

Easy way to make simple polls for audience engagement

Comments: We really like having voxvote to be able to do everything from gathering opinions on new proposals, to quizzing the audience to be able to give credits to those that answered correctly. It is easy to use, and we love it particularly because it does not require any special instruments in order to use it - just any internet connected device. We are also able to display the polling results so that the audience knows exactly how they stand in regards to the rest of the audience, and this transitions very organically into discussion, which may have been awkward to introduce without polling.

Pros:

It's a great way to be able to generate data from a large audience and then use that data for future analysis. I really enjoy the fact that you do not need to purchase additional hardware to be able to integrate usage of this platform into meetings and other events. It's relatively simple to prepare poll questions, although I would recommend taking some time to get used to the configuration so you don't accidentally close a poll before it's started, or erase the polling information.

Cons:

It would be extremely helpful to be able to embed polls into powerpoint, or at least google slides, so that I could seamlessly transition to the polling during a presentation, which is the only time I'd be gathering this data anyway.

Great way to engage an audience!

Comments: As already noted, I very much enjoy using this software during my required presentations and during lab meetings. It has also been useful for me to develop my public speaking skills, as I can receive feedback on the quality of my presentation right then and there. Great product!

Pros:

I love that this software is FREE and SIMPLE. What more could one ask for? I have had next to no issues with using VoxVote to get feedback from audiences during seminars or presentations. This tool helps to draw in the attention of your audience and is a good break in pace from traditional lecture style presentations.

Cons:

Nothing! I love it! Absolutely plenty for a free software.

Simple yet powerfull

Comments: Very good.

Pros:

Easy to use in-class, works pretty well.

Cons:

Sometimes some users are not correctly identified when they explicitly vote using a nickname.

Interesting software

Comments: Interactive presentations.

Pros:

The most important think to consider is that the product is easy to use.

Cons:

The integration of multiple photos at a single question seems to be difficult.

Handy for presentations and fun quizzes at the office.

Comments: Data from employees and coworkers that would have been difficult to get otherwise.

Pros:

Easy to use, fast response rate, good variety of question styles, handy for various uses. Like that it gives on demand data at events and meetings. Users of the app have no problems figuring out how to use it.

Cons:

Expensive to buy credits, and can't re-use credits once archived. Archived credits should not count towards overall credit amount since they are not being used. Bought more credits, but can't delete old quizzes to re-use the credit.

100% recommended

Pros:

The product is easy to use, so simple to connect

Cons:

Many difficult to have logo on phone live

Nice and handy for votings in live audience

Pros:

The results can be shown live in front of the audience. The availability of the tool is great.

Cons:

The user interface for administering the Votings is not so self explanatory. I needed to practice first before I did my first live voting in front of an audience.

Vox Vote for Education

Comments: Very easy and quick way to gain insight from our parents without having to go through otrs of paper responses. Parents liked the way in which it is presented and we get more responses.

Pros:

Very easy to use and very easy to gain feedback from parents

Cons:

Nothing at all. Its so easy to use quick.

Easy to use Audience Response software

Comments: I have use the software to keep my students more awake and participative on classes. Until now, it is working. Also, I have been able to get more information and feedback from them on real time - normally students are a silent crowd facing us and we do not know a lot about them or what is on their minds; this software is helping me get some clues.

Pros:

It is easy to use and intuitive, you can start working with it immediately after start t

Cons:

I would like the software to have more interaction with common presentation software (e.g., Powerpoint).

This is a no-brainer

Pros:

I love it. It does exactly what it sets out to do. In particular, I love that it is mobile phone friendly and that you could use basically any device to access. Compatibility issues are nowhere to be found. Results of quizzes are stored in a clean and organized manner so it is all very nice and tidy when you are ready to access the data.

Cons:

The only con I can think of is that I wish I could incorporate polls into PowerPoint slides. From what I read, this is something they are working on in the future, so once that gets settled I can confidently say that this is essentially a flawless product.
