It is an interesting application however my professor and I thought that it would deserve 5 if it showed us how many people voted and if there was an options that the teacher can choose to allow the students to change their answers.

There is potential for this to become a killer feature in Canvas, especially for schools. At the moment, Socrative does it much better.

I created and published 3 polls and sent them to students in a test class. First of all, each 'poll' is really only one question (unless I'm missing something). Second, instructors must choose the 'create polls' menu item in order to see results (at least on the Android version), which is not intuitive. Third, the poll results are not sent to Canvas. I could see this tool being useful if the results were at least sent over to Canvas as a 'practice quiz' or 'ungraded assignment,' but as it functions right now the only benefit to instructors is the option to send all your students a poll and then click a cloud icon to download the results to a .csv. (which you can email to yourself).

App works fine but polls are too limited to be very useful in most cases.
