Tossup for Android
Use Tossup when you need:
• A quick yes or no count
• To find and pick a restaurant
• To agree on when to meet
• Your friend’s opinion
Invite friends over email or SMS…whichever way works for you.
Making decisions together might even be fun.

Can't view polls after creating them and the app has been forcing me through the new account steps every time I open it.
There hasn't been an update to this app in a while, now it crashes constantly and is unresponsive,which is too bad because it used to be a nice app.
Good app in concept, but it makes me login with my phone number and email address again every time I open it.
I have to repeatedly enter my login credentials any time I want to use the app.
Incredibly buggy. Have to enter in phone number and email everytime I open it.
Crashes
I decided to give it a try because I became tired of waiting for Google's "Who's Down" app... This app seemed promising upon the initial setup.. But in the end all you are doing is text messaging people to vote on your question..
Works well, very easy to use, usable interface, low bar to entry - just need to get my friends using it now!
Keeps crashing after sign up/log in. Cannot use
Why do so many MS Garage apps not have a Windows Phone Version?
I initially had an issue with the program because I thought it was crashing--but as it turns out I just needed to wait a little bit for the contacts list to load. It should have an indicator of some kind so you know it is still loading. In any case, it is a great concept, only draw back is having to get everyone else to download and create a profile to vote in a poll.
I know exactly zero people that would install or sign up for this. Please face the fact that nobody wants to use Microsoft services for this type of thing.
Not intuitive and crashed a few times, I wanted an app so the team could say yes or no to dates, this was going to take too long.
Love the design! The adding options and voting is cool. Also nudging people to vote is ridiculous but awesome! If your a social butterfly with your friends all of you need this app.

Needs movies!

Loved it! No problems whatsoever. The one comment I would add is to have a movie option for the polls so you can select a theater and put up the movies that theater is showing as options in the poll
Fun little app for trying to pin down plans for the evening/weekend. Thanks again for reaching out to get things working!
Thanks for the reply, increased rating. It is stupid that people have to sign up just to take a survey I create. Let me make a survey and send them the link or let us link to Google account!
Just like Philip P, the app won't get past the into screen and just blinked black and green. I tried the reboot suggestion from Microsoft, but that didn't fix anything. Uninstalled app. I might try again if they come out with a new version. Running stock Sprint Lollipop Android on Samsung GS4 *****Update is out, version 1.0.1 and it works. First thing I noticed is that the people on the other end HAVE to have the app, but would love it if would just send them an email that gave them a link to a website so they could respond from there. I see potential in this app when it has more bells and whistles.
No one under 25 actually uses Microsoft's calendar solution, because Outlook. Even if our University or work forces us to use a Microsoft account and we do have an exchange or O365 account, which I and all my peers at University have, no one actually uses it. If it won't sync with my Google calendar, it's kind of useless. Also, reviews, maps, etc use Bing? I get this is a Microsoft product, but that right there makes this a hard no. I can login with Facebook, but it doesn't use my fb calendar or contacts?? Responsive devs.
I'm a Microsoft and Google customer. I use Windows and Office, but I use Google for everything else. I want to use Google authentication and Google searches, and so do my friends. Microsoft is pushing into Android, which is fine, but they need to stop forcing users into Bing and Exchange. The app would also benefit from a Floating Action Button, per Material guidelines. Also, the profile picture tool is busted and always squashes my pictures. Nexus 6 5.1.1
Love the functionality, just need to convince my friends to download it.
This is a great ideas for an app and looks easy to use. Looking forward to exploring more and much better than emails back and forth.
Smart.
Unable to run on modded phones. Updated: Like others I got the blue/green flashing screen. Logcat showed it constantly creating and deleting the SQL database. Seeing the SQL for the table creates was interesting. The failure was after the create it gathered device information and tried to call some crypto call that failed. Whole thing would cycle all over again. Wiped the device and did a clean install of the OS and the app finally worked. Pretty ridiculous that you need to give up your phone number and email address.
Good start. Haven't had any issues with functionality. The app should allow you edit the poll questions so long as no one has responded yet. You should be able to delete the sub questions within a poll without having to delete the whole poll. It'd be awesome to have an online interface such that people without the app (or people who don't have a smartphone) could still vote.
I'm on Nexus 5, Android 5.1. I liked the app and its simplicity to operate. Adding poll options can be more intuitive. A button or + sign would be great which says poll option is added with a graphic which slides up to list of options. E.g. I am not sure whether I'm done with current option and need to create/add new option. I don't see new option area because it's hidden by keyboard. Option text boxes are lil scattered, can refine css (or equivalent) to bring them closer. Overall very decent. Keep it up!
I'm having the same blue blinking screen issues. I have rebooted and it does the same thing.
You say you want to grab lunch with friends, it automatically opens up of list of restaurants nearby sorted by what's closest, gives reviews right under the name. Click on the place to open Google maps directions. You can add it to your calendar so your phone will remind you. Hard part is getting people to use it, but you'll have that with any new app.
Great app that can be made more useful by adding new features. For example on the poll page, you can just add new friends and cannot do anything with existing ones. I would like to remove them, send them another invite or send someone a private msg about the poll. Will add more feedback as I use it.
Google sign in is missing.... Edit: Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I'm not willing to create an account for this app. I have some friends that installed this app so I will check back again and see when Google sign in is enabled.
Great idea, but the app won't get past the intro screen. It just blinks black and green continuously. I'll wait for an update as this app would be useful, in theory at least. Running on stock G4
Would I rather use this app or eat chocolate cake? I dunno it's a "tossup".
Only problem I see that after events get added to the calendar they are no longer updated with changes. To me it seems like if the event changes to a new place or a new time my calendar should reflect that so I don't show up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
great for planning events with co workers and just about any polls, you should try this out if you want opinions from your co workers, 20th reviewer
Still missing some basic functionality, but should be coming soon hopefully. Edditing recipient list and being able to respond to basic votes without the app.
All I get is a flashing green screen.

I love the concept! Works great on my iPad, but for android it sucks. I have to put in my cell# and email every time I open the app, and then I can't access polls I created sometimes.
