Apoll review
A focused, free browser Q&A tool for moderated audience participation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Apoll is a browser-based audience response tool for live, anonymous Q&A. It suits presenters, trainers, workshop leaders, webinar hosts and classroom facilitators who need a simple way to collect audience questions without asking attendees to create accounts or install an app. Participants join through a QR code or shared link, submit questions in real time and upvote the topics they want addressed. Hosts control which questions appear on the shared display and can mark questions as answered.
The product’s narrow focus is its main strength. Apoll concentrates on live Q&A rather than combining questions with a broader polling or quiz suite. Anonymous participation can help audiences ask questions without attaching their names, while upvoting gives hosts a way to identify recurring interests. Moderation keeps displayed questions under host control, and the browser-based joining flow reduces the steps required during a live session. This makes Apoll a natural fit for structured Q&A segments in meetings, training, webinars and workshops.
Apoll is free for sessions lasting up to six hours, with sessions and their questions automatically cleared afterward. That time limit is important for events that need ongoing access or retained question history. The product also does not provide live polling, quiz mode or integrations, so it is not designed for organizers seeking a broader audience response system or connected event workflow. Choose Apoll when the priority is straightforward moderated Q&A with anonymous, account-free access; choose an alternative when polling, quizzes, integrations or longer-lived sessions are central requirements.
