Previously, A/B comparisons within a survey were somewhat limited. Options were displayed one below the other, not randomized, and images were only shown as small thumbnails. This could lead to order bias and made visual comparison harder. Now you can combine multiple A/B comparisons in a single survey – clear, fair, and much more visual.

Randomized Order in Ratings

When creating a rating step in a survey, you can now randomize all options directly in step 1. Each participant will see their own randomly ordered list or gallery. This means:

• No bias from fixed ordering
• Fairer results
• Better comparability

This is especially useful for design decisions, UX tests, or content variations.

New Gallery View for Images

Another new feature is the gallery view for images. Instead of a list with small thumbnails, you can now:

• display images large and in focus
• present them in a visually appealing way
• put the content front and center

Titles, descriptions, etc. intentionally take a back seat – ideal when visual impact matters most.

This view is not only suitable for A/B comparisons, but also perfect for design feedback and large image collections. You can configure these features individually per survey step. When creating a new rating step, you’ll find a small preview, layout options (gallery or list), and the ability to randomize options.

Over the past months we have started a major internationalization initiative to make PollUnit more accessible to people around the world.

PollUnit is used by organizations, companies, clubs, and communities in many different countries. While English has always been available, we noticed that more and more users prefer working in their native language when creating polls, surveys, and contests.

To support this, we began a large effort to translate and localize PollUnit across the entire platform.

Expanding language support

This initiative focuses on translating not only the interface but also our tutorials, blog posts, help pages, and feature descriptions. Our goal is that users can understand PollUnit and its features in their own language – from the first visit to advanced use cases.

In the coming months, more and more content will also become available in additional languages. PollUnit is now available in the following languages:

• German
• English
• French
• Indonesian
• Italian
• Dutch
• Polish
• Portuguese
• Romanian
• Spanish
• Czech
• Turkish

…and more to come.

Why this matters

PollUnit is used for many different purposes – from scheduling meetings and collecting feedback to running photo contests or design votes. Making these tools accessible in more languages helps teams collaborate more easily and removes barriers for participants.

For many people, voting or participating in a poll is much more comfortable when the interface are in their native language.

A continuous effort

Internationalization is not a one-time project but an ongoing process. As PollUnit evolves and new features are released, we will continue expanding translations and improving existing ones.

If you notice something that could be translated better in your language, feel free to let us know – feedback from our users helps us improve PollUnit for everyone.

With our latest update, we are expanding the PollUnit survey type with an especially versatile feature:

From now on, you can add a new map step to your multi-step surveys. Participants can mark a location, draw an area, or sketch a route directly on an interactive map.

This extension makes PollUnit even more flexible and is ideal for anyone who wants to collect geographic information or make joint decisions with a spatial reference.

Why a map step?

Many votes and surveys have a clear spatial context: Where should an event take place? Which districts need special attention? How do favorite routes, commuting paths, or danger spots run?

With the new map step, there is no need for laborious descriptions of locations. Instead, participants visually, intuitively, and precisely mark what they mean.

What can the new survey step do?

1. Mark locations

Let your participants set a point, for example for:

• potential meeting points
• desired locations
• danger spots in road traffic
• favorite places

2. Draw areas

Ideal for all scenarios where an area is relevant:

• district boundaries
• potential construction areas
• garden or property areas
• zoning

3. Mark routes

Perfect for:

• commuting routes
• running and cycling routes
• route guidance for events
• problem points on daily routes

Participants can freely draw very easily using click or drag-and-drop.

Evaluation made easy

All markings appear in your results overview, aggregated on a shared map, clearly distinguishable by color and viewable individually.

For further analysis, you can export the points, areas, and routes. For each point you receive a latitude and longitude, enabling you to use the data in other applications as well.

We're excited to announce a small but meaningful enhancement at PollUnit: From now on, you can not only set your custom logo, but also define a favicon for your polls and surveys!

What is a Favicon?

A favicon (short for »Favorite Icon«) is the small symbol that appears in the browser tab next to the page title. You may have noticed it on other websites – it's usually a miniature version of the brand logo. Favicons help users quickly identify tabs and give your PollUnit page a more professional appearance.

Why use a Favicon?

A favicon offers you:

• Recognition: Users can immediately identify your poll in the browser tab – even with many tabs open.
• Brand consistency: Your corporate design remains visible throughout the experience.
• Professionalism: Your polls immediately appear more polished and trustworthy.

It’s that simple

Favicons are part of the »My Logos« section. When you create a new logo or edit an existing one, you can now upload a favicon in addition to the logo that appears in the header. When creating a PollUnit, you can select the logo during the »Design« step. The favicon will then automatically be displayed in browser tabs – whether you're creating a poll, idea collection, or date finder.

With this small addition, we want to give you even more ways to adapt PollUnit to your brand and style. Try it out now and give your polls that final touch!

Working together just got even easier! With our latest update for Organizations, you can now define central fields that will be automatically applied to every newly created PollUnit. This saves time, ensures consistency, and makes management easier.

What’s new?

Organizations in PollUnit already allow you to share your account with colleagues and create and manage polls together. From now on, you can also define default values for specific fields within your organization – these will be automatically pre-filled in every newly created PollUnit.

The fields that can be pre-filled include:

• Publisher (responsible party / issuer)
• Publisher email
• Legal notice
• Terms of participation
• Privacy policy

Why is this important?

Especially for organizations that regularly create polls on legal or business-related topics, it’s crucial that this information remains consistent. Instead of entering the same data manually each time, you can now ensure everything is automatically and correctly filled in – and for all members of your organization.

This means:

• Fewer errors
• Greater efficiency
• More professional appearance

Who benefits from this?

This feature is ideal for:

• Companies with multiple poll creators
• Agencies working on behalf of clients
• Educational institutions with standardized legal requirements
• NGOs or associations that want to standardize their communication

How does it work?

1. Create or open your organization in PollUnit
2. Navigate to »My Organizations«
3. Create a new organization or edit an existing one
4. Enter the default values into the new fields
5. From now on, these values will automatically appear in new PollUnits created within the organization

If you’re already part of an organization, you can start using the new features right away. And if not – now is the perfect time to create an organization and invite your team!
