## Description

Polls for iMessage makes group decisions easy by bringing polls right into iMessage. Create polls, vote, and view live results as they update in real time for everyone in the chat.

Customize polls with four controls: See Who Voted, Edit Poll, Multiple Votes, and Declare a Winner. Add photo polls from your camera roll, use Smart Calendar to prettify dates, and attach links to polls (think Yelp for restaurants or Airbnbs for rentals) to keep all options in one place.

## Review summary

Polls for iMessage is praised for its simple, easy-to-use interface that makes group chats and family decisions quicker and more organized. It supports collaborative option additions and is ad-free. However, many users report major drawbacks: you must have (and require others to have) the app to vote; Android users can't participate; difficulty uninstalling and potential data handling concerns; it can be blocked by iOS downtime or not appearing in allowed apps; and it may conflict with or stop working after iOS updates due to Apple’s own poll features. Overall, it's helpful in groups but limited by cross-platform and lifecycle issues.

### Pros

- Simple, easy-to-use interface for polls in group chats.
- Very useful for family discussions and group decisions, helping organize and speed up decisions.
- Collaborative: anyone can add or edit options, keeping polls organized.
- Ad-free, clean UI with a visually pleasing experience.
- Effective for planning trips and events.

### Cons

- Requires all participants to download the app to vote; not practical if others don't have it.
- No Android cross-compatibility; iPhone-to-iPhone only.
- Difficult to uninstall; app can be buried or hard to remove and raises privacy concerns.
- Downtime restrictions and apps-blocking prevent answering; the app may not appear in the allowed list.
- Potential issues after iOS updates or conflicts with Apple's built-in polls; may stop working.
