As one of the first polling products to allow for mobile responding, TurningPoint continues to lead the way. Now, in addition to real-time polls, participants can use the TurningPoint polling app to respond to surveys and interactive homework assignments at times that are convenient to them. Read on to discover if mobile responding is the right option for you.

Interactive polling apps for audience participation
What is an audience polling app?
Audience polling apps give participants the power to answer interactive questions, live or at their own pace, using a web-enabled device. The TurningPoint polling app is available for both Android and iOS, or participants can respond by visiting ttpoll.com on a web browser. Mobile responding capabilities are included in the cost of a TurningPoint subscription.
How do audiences use a polling app?
Students and audiences can use a polling app any time to answer questions during an interactive session. An intuitive interface means that responding to both live polls and scheduled surveys using the TurningPoint app is an easy process.

During a real-time polling session, when the presenter asks a question, it will appear on the screen of each participant.

Once polling is closed, everyone will see a chart with the answer selections displayed.

For scheduled polls, participants simply click on the survey link and proceed to answer questions as usual.
Where can polling apps be used?
Meetings, training sessions, special events, classrooms large and small – the TurningPoint app is ideal for all of these settings and more. The app is particularly useful if you prefer the simplicity of leveraging your audience’s existing devices, and in places with a strong Wi-Fi signal.
