User Reviews

Show of Hands offers strong polling and open discussion features, with praise for its polls and engagement tools. However, reviewers repeatedly flag a toxic, partisan atmosphere, moderation issues, and sign-in/technical problems. The app shines for polling and conversation when moderation is not an obstacle, but its credibility and reliability are undermined by biases, safety concerns, and inconsistent support.
Pros
  • Free speech and open discussion with civil dialogue
  • Robust polling features with instant results and demographic/geographic breakdowns
  • Easy-to-use polls and engaging features (e.g., monthly introduction poll)
  • Ability to ignore disruptive users and curate discussions
  • Perceived fairness with minimal algorithmic filtering or shadow banning
Cons
  • Perceived political bias and toxic, hateful discourse with a leaning toward right-wing content
  • Moderation inconsistencies and uneven enforcement of rules
  • Safety concerns and presence of hateful content; not considered safe for kids
  • Login/account issues and weak support (sign-in problems, password resets, account creation)
  • Poll results not representative due to base skew / partisan audience

A lot here for one to Think About…but it requires an open mind to begin with…and the use of your Education—no matter what level you achieved.

I am a longtime user and fan of this app… There are a few too many snowflakes on here who get bent out of shape from hearing opinions that differ from their own. With that said, there are many fantastic people who can have civil and meaningful dialogue about world issues. I highly recommend this app and give it five stars.

So many right wing, white supremacists, hateful and ignorant people. It’s surprising Apple allows it to be listed on the Apple Store. Not safe for kids, of which there are many on the app. There doesn’t appear to be any moderation, at all.
