Actual Mobile App Idea Polls & Poll Results
REEL is a video-based dating app that helps you find better matches by revealing more about a person's personality. If you are/were single, would you use it?
This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Age Range (18 24, 25 34). A sample of responses:
- I appreciate that the participants are given the chance to share about themselves in a video format and that's useful for getting an idea of who someone is, more than just your average text-based profile. However, what keeps me from giving it a full five stars, is that some of the questions seem particularly shallow or silly. I'd prefer questions that dig a little deeper. They don't have to be serious, but perhaps a psychologist could help develop questions that reveal more about a person while still maintaining the light, friendly tone. People have fluff-fatigue sometimes, overwhelmed by the "what dessert are you" type quizzes, and they crave true, meaningful connection. If you can help them toward that while still maintaining a light-hearted tone, it could be incredibly powerful. If I were single, I might consider using this app but I'd have to explore it in more depth and see the range of questions before I committed to it.
- The ability to see what a person is like via video would be helpful since it would be much more informative about the type of person they are, how they act, their attractiveness, etc. Text on a screen can be copied from other places or be very bland, and it doesn't allow you to really get to know the person who wrote it. Plus, some people don't even use pictures of themselves, so a video would be much better.
REEL is a dating app that helps you find quality matches by showing a person's real self via short-form videos. If you are/were single, would you use it? Why or why not?
This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Age Range (18 24, 25 34). A sample of responses:
- This sounds like an interesting idea. You could get an impression of the person and see how their personality is. It might let you see if they act normal, or awkward. It may also let you hear a persons voice and see their face over photos so you actually know what type of person you are meeting. I would use it to get a better impression of the person before meeting. Honestly, it's harsh, but it's disheartening to show up and someone look different or be different from what you expected. If I am not attracted to someone physically, it's hard to connect. I understand how shallow that sounds, but it is an important aspect regardless of what folks say. Personality comes a close first, but this video app could give you little snippets and you could always have higher tier accounts to offer better services.
- I would be interested in it because a video can give you more than a photo can. I would be interested to view how the person talks, their tone of voice and rate of speech. I would like the ability to see mannerisms and facial expressions. I also think it would give an insight to sense of humor which would be nice. You can see surroundings, potentially interactions with other people. I think that videos can give you a better idea as to if an individual is genuine or not - moreso than a photograph. I also think that it would help alleviate some anxiety during a first date if there were videos. It can help make the person seem more personable and give a better expectation for the first date.

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Age Range (18 24, 25 34). A sample of responses:
- I like the idea behind it so much! If I weren't such a shy person I'd say YES YES YES! It offers so much more than Tinder. Which is terrible. I love that this gives you a bit of a glimpse to who someone is and how they act and their mannerisms. It helps that the app gives prompts in the form of questions for users to aswer in video form. I think that would be a helpful aspect for me. otherwise Id never know what to say or do in a video dating app.
- I think anyone can be fake in a video. There would be way too much opportunity for people to act inappropriate in the middle and people tend to only create videos when they are doing "fun" things. I don't really come across as articulate as I have a problem with my brain connecting to my words. I wouldn't feel as comfortable sharing. There is also too much chance of people recognizing your home.
- I would use this app if I was single. I like that you can get a better impression of potential matches through seeing a video of them rather than trying to judge based on a few pictures that may be very outdated, inaccurate, or edited. I would feel slightly camera shy about putting a video of myself on this app, but I think it would be worth it for a more accurate representation of my matches.

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Gender (Male). A sample of responses:
- I would totally use this APP if i were single and looking for someone. What a great concept being able to actually watch them live and getting a sense of their personality and traits and sense of humor and maybe getting to even hear them laugh...before meeting them. That's great. It looks like a great app with great potential and I think this will do fantastic. I think it's also a very high concept idea something that many people would be interested in. Even if it were a free app I think with the huge amounts of downloads and revenues from purchases made from within the app that it would be a very lucrative product.
- This dating app gives a great insight about a person's personality and composure. It can give a user insight as to whether the person has humor, thoughtfulness, intelligence, and a bit of honesty. The video aspect makes the app more truthful, as it is relatively easy to lie on a profile picture yet much more difficult when responding to a question via a short video clip. If I were single, I would consider this app.
- If I was single, I would not use this app. I think the questions were stupid and quite frankly, did not provide any insight into the actual person answering them. Maybe record short videos about your interests or an ideal first date or something. Cliched, yes, but I'd have a better grasp of who someone is over some pointless anecdote about a celebrity stepping on their foot.
REEL is a dating app that helps you find quality matches by showing real people answering pre-recorded responses to ice-breaker questions. If you are/were single, would you use it?
This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Relationship Status (Single). A sample of responses:
- Great idea! I would definitely use it if I were looking to date somebody but the idea could have applications beyond this field, for example job interview questions, or more controversially perhaps police questioning. The more you rehearse giving answers to tricky questions the less unnatural you sound and the less likely you are to stammer or appear awkward. Terrific idea - put it on the market!
- Anything that helps me to learn more about the person is great and would put the service on a higher interest level for me than a service did not offer it. The questions that are asked are not as important as seeing how the person responds and what their answers sound like. It would help me to connect to people that I would want to spend time with, and weed out the others.
- I like the easy-going nature of these questions, but I don't know if I would use this app for a serious relationship. Silly questions like this can be good icebreakers, but I would worry about other heavier questions that would need to be brought up with a potential date to see if we are compatible.
- It feels much more personal to see a person answer a few questions. I think it is a novel concept and it would be embraced seriously by those who are into more serious relationships. It is not as superficial and that is what a lot of these apps are with just a picture.
Would you use an app that shows events of any kind or based on your interests occurring near you right now or today?
This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:
- If I was able to choose the type of event and the distance from me I would like to use this type of app. I would not want to be overwhelmed with things that are either too far away or in places that I would not go to. It would have to be pretty specific about what types of events it showed me also. I would not be interested in a app that just told me everything that was going on or an app that didn't give me enough time to plan the event into my schedule. For example I don't want to be told about a concert at noon at 11 am. If the conditions I set forth were fulfilled I think it would be a great app.
- An app that shows events occurring near me would be interesting, but I feel like it would also make me feel left out if I was busy on the days of the events. If I downloaded it, I would probably turn off push-notifications. If this app did exist I think I would prefer something along the lines of a newsletter style list at the start of each month with reminder lists at the start of each week. Each listing can link to more information and allowing you to note if you want reminders from there.
- I can't see me using it in my ~50k population small city. I think this would be useful in a few select big big cities. But I don't know if it would translate to even mid-sized cities as there just wouldn't be enough events to bother curating. It'd be better to just list all events happening that night.
How likely would you use a tool that provides you personalized event recommendations with people of your age and similar interests ?
This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:
- As I have recently moved to a new state, I would love to have advice on upcoming events with people close in age and with like interests. I have found it difficult to meet people my age, especially during the day when they are mostly at work. Also, I have very specific likes, and would be interested in joining groups that involve local sightseeing and historical places. This tool would be very handy for many people, and would probably fare very well.
- This is already available in some manner via the local events feature in Facebook, although its not customized to my interests, it does give me a quick view look at local events and I can scroll and dismiss those of no interest, so yes, if it was personalized and If I could set the parameter I would use it because it would save me time. Consider partnering with Facebook and use your tool to enhance their Local Events program. Good Luck.
- No - like I said in a similar question about these sort of events I would rather like the opposite: events that feature people rather different to me. This would still be a great idea if the settings could be configured to choose similar or different regarding age and interests, or some sort of sliding scale.
How likely would you use a tool that provides you personalized recommendations for places to go?
This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:
- It may just be my personality, but I have never had an interest in apps like this, or apps that have this feature. It also seems like it would really need to have tracked and collected a lot of information about you to be able to make a good recommendation. I think maybe, if your a family on vacation, it might be helpful if the app sees your leaving an attraction, that it then suggest something close by you can visit.
- I live in a rural area, and it can be really difficult to find places to go that are somewhat near me. It would be great to have a tool that would provide helpful suggestions about places to go based on my interests, whether it's businesses like restaurant or stores, or places like hiking trails, museums, and parks.
- My partner and I are always trying to figure out how to spend our free time together, and we can never choose a restaurant when we want to go out for food! It would be awesome to have a tool that understands our tastes and preferences, as it seems like services like Yelp are all over the place.
- I would be likely to try it out, always with one finger on the "uninstall" button. Whether I keep it or not would depend on how intrusive the recommendations are, how much I like their aesthetic, how helpful they end up being, and how much control I have over the settings.
Would you use an anonymous chatting app that is based on meeting new people within the same room, coffee shop, event...
This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:
- For safety, it would have to be in a location or facility that was of higher traffic and typically populated with persons using a mobile device so as to not allow process of elimination or observation to permit a user to identify the anonymous chatter. Good locations are: airport terminal gate seating area, starbucks, dunkin donuts, mcdonalds, burger king, school cafeteria, college cafeteria, etc. Times will vary depending upon when the area is typically being used most often to ensure the anonymity. For the above locations for example: 45 minutes prior to scheduled flight departure for airport gate seating area, lunchtime and dinner times for any restaurants, mornings for any donut or coffee places, lunchtime for cafeterias.
- If I was looking to simply meet new people or even to start dating someone, I would definitely use this option if it guarantees safety and privacy. Also I think it is really a good idea and the fact that you can limit the space is great. I most probably would use it at night or even in any free time I have during the day and it would replace some of the time I usually spend on Instagram and other social media websites. I would use it alone. But I wouldn't mind sharing with friends.I would like to have an option to what I can reveal instead of revealing all at once.Maps would be surely a great idea also to have a general impression on how it works and how many people are connected.
Does this video make you interested in trying out the app?
This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents. A sample of responses:
- I feel like I have the ability to do these things with my current software. I also would worry about missing out on something. Even though it's not spam free? My Google inbox is really easy to use without any alterations. I don't need to be online to be on top of my emails, I have my phone alerting me. You're contradicting this by saying you need to be online to get emails, you don't have to be online to use this service?I don't need anyone contacting me getting real time info about my opening the email etc. This is all redundant. It's as bad as the little bubbles that show up when you IM someone. This service is unnecessary. I have plenty of options for communication that have most or all of these features. Plus I have my brain and my ability to read and decide what I respond to. I swear to god, email is becoming obsolete and it is not this complicated to choose how and when to communicate via email. "Ask them to send a Snype instead" LOL. Doubles communication time.
- For business communication, removing the internet from the equation improved this product over most existing platforms. Because communications can only come from someone else who has the same platform and is on one's contact list, spam has been prevented. Because the product does not rely on internet, communication is not restricted by the connection. I also like that the phone number can be concealed while still allowing easy business communication via contact through the account.

PickFu is one of the easiest & fastest ways to find out which of your mobile app screenshots or icons will drive more app downloads.
I can't recommend this service enough - what was eye opening to me was the comments the people left. They were even more valuable than the results of the test. You could tell that the people that chose the name "Super 80s World" really got it. The demographics backed it up even more: those responders were closer to the target age and salary demographic.
