P70%
by P####:

Great idea, simple to use. But lacking one ultimate feature. There's no direct link for copy paste to let's say into a messenger. Link available only after copying from sms. And there's something unpolished about the UI. Great other than those hiccups.

N70%

Spent 20 min and could not figure it out. Horrible user interface

R70%

Thank you thank you! Now it's time for some fun oh come on wtf only 4 slots to poll someone.so much for polling the gop candidates.there not enough room.why would u only make 4 polling options available? !even after the update still not more then 4 polls

Q70%
by Q####:

Never get straight answers. Dominated by Microsoft fans.

S70%
by S####:

The application is very tedious to use. Polls are to slow to load and lag is apparent with too much refreshing to my liking. Polls take forever to load when creating them. Furthermore why only Bing exclusive in image search. Spruce it up and include Google for an example and way too Microsoft based

By "Application" I'm not referring to the app itself. When you give a bunch of insecure, potentially juvenile, and otherwise lonely people the option of polling the masses (which is actually just more people like themselves for the most part), the end result is predictable. There may be ways to isolate what I see outside of the provided 4 groupings + NSFW, however, what I saw made it clear this app isn't for me at this stage of life.

Apparently this app is just something all Microsoft employees use lol. Half the polls are about Microsoft and all favor Microsoft products by a huge margin. Oh it also uses Bing for search...

Why 18 plus age limit just make the nsfw harder to access I love the idea but every poll is clunky if expect to click the answer and to be slick loading result not loading a new activity and loading dialog box. The category picker is awful can't tell what I've picked until after I've closed it and re opened it. There are soo many thing I'm happy to send a email with more details and advice. If you want it just reply and I'll send it over as I feel this app could be so good just poor execution!

M70%
by M####:

And it's anonymous. When the poll is finished, you can post the results. Fun. One problem, I want to post polls on groups and pages within Facebook. When I click the check box to share on Facebook, it doesn't give me an option. It just posts straight to my personal time line. Once the poll has been made, I have to delete it from my personal page, then I can share it manual which then gives me the option to go to a page or group. I wish I could do this before it gets posted. I heard you android app addicts.

Good, but a lot of waiting and quite unstable. The visuals aren't much to look at either.

Z70%

How is possible that a kind of app that is based on sharing pools to everyone is not available for android device below 4.4 that's no sense. A part from this the idea is really cool. The app is ok it works as it should even if every time it is open it needs to login and you have to wait. Moreover why pools with only 4 options, why?? At the end , i read the straw blog and it says: "Now, with version 2.0 and StrawCast, we invite you to ask the world" yes but how with an available share on android of 50% due to android version requirements??

Needs more options. More than four questions please.

That's if you have access code authentication on. When you switch to the auth code app, straw resets to the initial login screen and by the time you retype email and password, your code expired. You would need a second device from where to pull the code from. Nasty business.

Can post to Google+ now, but not to a community. Being able to post a poll to a chosen community (and a category in there) would make this perfect :) 5 stars anyway for the app functionally doing what it's meant to! Just up to Google to fix it on their end...

Main Photo Reads: Poll Your Friends On Google+ . Guess Where This App Can't Post Polls At? That's Right! Google+ !!!!!!!!!! Better Yet; What's The Point Of Being Able To Sign In With Google+ IF YOU CAN'T POST TO IT?!?!?!?

H70%
by H####:

The stupid thing lets you register with G+, but posting it to G+ is not an option... What am I missing... Reply, I now know it's not the developers fault, as G+ is lacking a "write API", whatever that is.. ;p So I upped my ratting to a 3 star, even though I've long since uninstalled it...

App is very basic. You can't share. To Google+ which is strange as you can sign in with it.

D70%
by D####:

Makes it super easy to poll your friends on facebook. I'm amazed it's not just an out of the box feature. Who the heck uses G+ anyways? That's like asking for Orkut support

V You guys know you can do polls on G+ now right.... Lol

should have the option to poll to other Straw users in a group like whatsapp.
