1. Is it free? +
Yes! Pop! is 100% free to create polls, invite friends and vote. There is a Premium version for those who want colorful themes and advanced stats, but the essential features are free forever.
2. What is "Points" mode? +
It's our favorite feature! Instead of just voting "For" or "Against", each participant gets a budget (e.g. 10 points) to distribute across options. It's perfect for nuance: "I'd like to go to the movies (2 points), but I'd MUCH rather go for a drink (8 points)".
3. Are polls anonymous? +
By default, everyone sees who voted for what (it's more fun to debate). But the poll creator can enable the "Anonymous Vote" option when creating the poll. In that case, results are shown without names.
4. How to invite friends? +
Go to the Friends tab and click the "+" button. You can search for your friends by name or @username. Once they accept, you can add them to Groups to launch polls even faster.
5. Available on which phones? +
Pop! is available on iOS (iPhone) and Android. You can download it from the App Store and Google Play Store.
6. Does it work offline? +
You can open the app and view your old polls without a connection (thanks to our caching system). However, to vote or create a new poll, you need a network connection so your friends receive the notification!
7. Is my data sold? +
Never. Pop! is an independent app. We don't sell your data, we don't display targeted ads. Our business model relies on the optional Premium subscription, not on your data.
8. How to delete my account? +
You are free as a bird. In the app, go to Profile > Settings > Manage my account > Delete . All your data (profile, votes, friends) will be instantly erased from our servers.
9. Can I change my vote? +
Yes! If the poll was created with the "Vote Modification" option, you can change your vote once. Be careful, there's no second chance.
10. Can we add photos? +
Absolutely. When creating a poll, you can upload an image for each option. It's ideal for asking "Which outfit for tonight?" or "Which movie do we watch?" with posters.
11. How long does a poll last? +
You decide! You can set an automatic end time (30 min, 1h, 24h...) or leave it unlimited. If it's unlimited, the creator must manually tap "End Vote" to freeze the results.
12. What is "Date" mode? +
It's for organizing events. You propose several time slots (e.g. Saturday 8pm, Sunday 2pm). Participants check all their availabilities. The app then shows you the date that suits the most people.
13. Is there a participant limit? +
No technical limit. Whether for a choice of 2 or a poll with 50 people in a group, Pop! handles it all. Performance remains smooth.
14. I forgot my password! +
Good news: there are no passwords on Pop!! We use a "Magic Link" or OTP Code system. You enter your email, receive a 6-digit code, and you're logged in. Simpler and more secure.
15. What's the point of Premium? +
To be totally honest with you: you don't need the Premium subscription to enjoy Pop!. All main features are free. 🫶
Premium is a bit like Snapchat subscriptions: it adds fun options, like customization, small visual bonuses and comfort features, but nothing vital for polling with friends.
If you want to see what extras I've imagined (and maybe support me in the process, that would warm my heart), you can check out the "Pricing" page. Promised, no traps.
16. Do I need a phone number? +
No. We respect your privacy. Sign-up is by email only. No SMS, no mandatory link to your phone contacts.
17. Does it work on iPad / Tablet? +
You can install the iPhone app on your iPad, it will work in "zoom" mode. However, the interface is optimized for one-handed smartphone use.
18. I get too many notifications! +
Don't panic. You can manage your notification preferences in your phone settings (iOS or Android). If you are Premium, you can also disable In-App notifications in Profile > Settings > "Notifications in Pop!" and "Notification Sounds".
19. Is there a dark mode? +
No, but you can set less flashy colors by customizing your theme... Only if you're a Premium user.
20. Who created Pop!? +
Pop! is developed by Aimeric Krol, an independent French developer. The idea was born from the frustration of endless group chats just to pick a simple restaurant.
