How Peopoll works
Quick answer
Answer a question in one tap. See how the world answered it, by country, age and gender. Then compare with a friend and take the argument offline. Everything below is in the app today.
How do you answer a poll?
Every poll is one tap: yes or no, one of up to five choices, or a ranking you drag into order. Until you answer, the result stays locked. That is the one rule, and the server enforces it.
Sample result: Yes, completely 44%, Only during class 29%, Only for under-16s 12%, No 15%, of 12,500 answers.

No answer, no insights. Tap an answer above to unlock the result.
Illustrative sample data. Nothing you tap here is recorded, not even the like.
What do you see after you answer?
The result is a plain count. Split it by gender, age bracket, country and continent, and stack the filters. Every slice shows how many answers are in it, so a narrow slice reads as what it is.
Sample result for “Should voting be mandatory?”: Yes 63%, No 37% of 8,300 answers. Male 59% yes, Female 66% yes, Other 69% yes.

Illustrative numbers. Nothing you tap is saved or sent. Real results are in the app.
How do you compare with a friend?
Pick a friend you follow and see their answer next to yours. On ranking polls you get an agreement score. Comments, mentions and sharing are there too, but the best conversations happen at dinner.

The one rule: no answer, no insights. You just did it. Every result stays locked until you have answered, and the server enforces it.
Why the rule existsHow do the two feeds work?
Following shows the people you follow, newest first. Explore surfaces polls people are actively answering. The numbers themselves are never weighted or promoted; nobody can pay to move a count.
What topics can a poll be about?
Every poll belongs to one category, and the category's colour runs through the card and the result: Food, Politics, Technology, Lifestyle, Entertainment, Sports, Education, Health, World News, Business, Science, Relationships, Travel, Culture.
Can you change your answer later?
The moment you answer, the bars fill in, the count appears, and See Insights opens the full result: the overall split, your stance, the demographics, and a timeline of how the answers came in. You can change or remove your answer later, and the count updates without double-counting.
Your name goes on the questions you ask. Your answers are counted into totals; results never list who voted. The person who asked is notified by username when someone answers.
