Features of PollQR

AI-Powered Sentiment Analysis

PollQR's advanced AI analytics go beyond simple data collection to deliver deep, actionable business intelligence. The system automatically analyzes open-ended customer feedback, identifying key themes, emotional sentiment, and specific trends. This allows you to instantly see what customers love and pinpoint areas needing improvement without manually sifting through hundreds of responses. Clicking on any identified keyword instantly filters to show all related comments, transforming raw feedback into a clear roadmap for operational excellence and strategic growth.

Flexible QR Code Generation & Deployment

Create professional, mobile-optimized feedback forms and live polls in minutes, and generate a unique QR code for each. PollQR provides the ultimate flexibility in deployment: place QR codes on restaurant tables, store receipts, product packaging, or conference presentation slides. This feature eliminates friction in data collection, allowing you to capture insights and engagement at the precise moment of experience, whether it's a customer leaving your store or an audience member in your seminar.

Real-Time Live Polling & Visualization

Engage your audience dynamically with a suite of interactive poll types including word clouds, rankings, star ratings, and email collection. As responses come in live, you control the reveal, displaying results as beautiful, real-time visualizations like pie charts or bar graphs directly on your screen. This feature turns passive listeners into active participants, providing instant feedback, gauging understanding, and making presentations, training sessions, or classrooms significantly more memorable and effective.

Centralized Data Hub & Notifications

All your survey responses and poll results are securely stored in your own organized PollQR database. Get instant email notifications the moment new feedback or votes are submitted, so you can respond to customer comments promptly or gauge audience sentiment on the fly. For deeper analysis, you can download all your collected data as a .CSV file at any time, enabling further reporting, integration, and long-term trend tracking to support data-driven decision-making.

Use Cases of PollQR

Boosting Online Reputation for Retail & Hospitality

Restaurants, cafes, retail stores, and service businesses can place QR code surveys on tables, receipts, or at the point of sale to effortlessly gather customer feedback. The system's intelligent nudge feature encourages satisfied customers to leave 5-star reviews on platforms like Google, directly boosting your online reputation and visibility. Simultaneously, it captures constructive criticism privately, allowing you to address issues proactively and improve service, turning customer interactions into a powerful engine for growth and loyalty.

Interactive Conference & Workshop Presentations

Speakers and workshop leaders can elevate their sessions by integrating QR code live polls. Instead of asking for a show of hands, present a QR code to launch a quick poll, gather live questions, or create a word cloud from audience input. This real-time interaction increases engagement, provides immediate insight into audience understanding, and makes the content more participatory and memorable, thereby enhancing the overall value and impact of the presentation.

Continuous Customer Insight for Product Teams

Product managers and UX researchers can use PollQR to establish a constant feedback loop. By embedding QR codes in product packaging, instruction manuals, or within a physical location, teams can gather ongoing user experience data, feature requests, and pain points. The AI sentiment analysis then helps prioritize product roadmaps by highlighting the most frequently mentioned issues and positive reactions, enabling agile, customer-informed development.

Engaging Educational & Training Environments

Educators and corporate trainers can transform lectures and training modules into interactive experiences. Use live polls to quiz students on comprehension, collect questions anonymously to encourage participation, or use ranking polls to discuss priorities. This use case fosters an inclusive learning environment, provides instant feedback on teaching effectiveness, and helps ensure key concepts are understood before moving on, improving knowledge retention and outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do attendees need to download an app to participate?

No, absolutely not. One of PollQR's core advantages is its zero-friction participation. Attendees or customers simply scan the QR code with their smartphone's native camera app, which opens a mobile-optimized web page where they can instantly submit their feedback or vote. This removes a major barrier to participation and ensures maximum engagement rates.

What kind of analytics does the AI sentiment analysis provide?

PollQR's AI tools analyze open-ended text responses to provide three key layers of insight: Sentiment Analysis (categorizing comments as positive, negative, or neutral), Key Theme Identification (automatically detecting and grouping common topics like "service," "price," or "wait time"), and Actionable Insights (highlighting specific phrases and trends that suggest clear areas for improvement or celebration, helping you move from data to decisive action).

Can I use PollQR for one-off events without a subscription?

Yes, PollQR offers flexible pricing tailored to different needs. While a Pro subscription provides a high volume of polls per month, you can also use the platform on a pay-as-you-go basis for individual events. Live polls can be conducted for a single fee of $2.99 each, making it perfect for occasional presenters, trainers, or one-time conferences.

How do I get the results from a live poll during my presentation?

As the presenter, you have full control. You create and launch the poll from your PollQR dashboard. While the audience is voting, you see the results updating in real-time on your private screen. When you're ready to share with the audience, you simply click to reveal the results visualization—such as a pie chart or bar graph—which is then displayed for everyone to see, creating a powerful "aha!" moment.
