One great thing about polls is that they can be about absolutely any topic. Whenever an opinion can be had, a vote can be cast on a poll and a result can be drawn. This makes polls incredibly powerful and versatile.

However, one problem that comes with the versatility of polls is that “absolutely anything you want” isn’t a very compelling answer to the question of “What can I do with Simple Poll?” Curious about some of the specific things you can do with Simple Poll? Read on.
