Review summary

Users like presenting from an iPad with AirPlay and on-device control, including split-screen use. However, persistent stability bugs, degraded presenter mode, and inconsistent results display undermine the experience. Key features like share links and account logout are missing, and many tasks require using a web browser rather than a dedicated app.

Pros

AirPlay/presenter mode enables projection from iPad to a screen and control from the device
Laptop-free operation: present from iPad on stage without a laptop
Split-screen multitasking: view notes while presenting

Cons

Frequent bugs and stability issues (crashes, white screen, loading failures)
Presenter mode functionality degraded or removed, not competitive
Inability to reliably display results to the audience (often only on secondary display)
Missing essential features like sharing an activity and a logout/account switch
Need to rely on a web browser for core tasks / feels like a webpage in an app

2025-02-06	te*****	PE has had basically the same set of bugs since its release years ago. This app was a nice bright spot in that it allowed us to Airplay from iPhones and iPads to a screen, taking up the full projected screen while giving us control on our devices. Six months ago this feature broke, and instead of fixing it they “updated” the app to no longer have the presenter mode this app is built for. This is not how one stays competitive in a crowded field.

Imagine setting up the perfect poll, presenting in class, responses come in, everyone’s excited to see the results, and NOPE, you cannot display results screen because for some reason, the results are only on the secondary display and, oh, wait, now, the iPad app is frozen and there’s nothing you can do except restart your iPad. Every single time! Save yourself the trouble and present from a browser if you use an iPad. Developers - please fix this broken app.

2022-07-28	cr*****	There is no way to share an activity. I just wanted to access the share link and I can’t. Useless

2022-04-08	Al*****	I do not see any way to log out except deleting the whole app and reinstalling. I pay for two accounts so I need to log out and clear responses for the other polls but the app doesnt have a log out button to sign into another account.

2021-08-30	cr*****	Can we have the ability to change if we see responses are not from the app when activity is active? This will completely allow not having to be tied to an internet browser…

2020-03-31	Ex*****	For me the presenter app is a step backwards— maybe if you’re a power user it’s more intuitive, but for someone who wants just to quickly run polls during meetings and lectures (and see the results) it’s more work and more learning curve. Also it feels like a “webpage in an app” rather than a true app.

2020-01-12	Ba*****	With the old app, I could quickly look at the listing of polls for a presentation and ensure none are active and show results is off. Great time saver before a day of training. Now I have to do it from the web. The old pollev app used to allow us to easily do this.

2020-01-08	Ri*****	Prior to the separation of presenter vs poll app, we could view students responses on my iPad while the class responses were still hidden on the board. Please bring back that feature.
