How often have you reached a stalemate with your friends when trying to figure out where to eat? Or with your significant other who can’t decide what tv show he or she wants to watch? Pocket Poll seeks to fix such group decisions by leveraging stored personal preferences to produce an optimal choice for any given event.
Pocket Poll utilizes three main features: categories, groups, and events. Categories are collections of choices with ratings. The category can be whatever you want it to be such as movies, food, video games, favorite cephalopod, etc. Each choice has a rating from 0-5, with 0 being the lowest rating and 5 the highest. You can always edit your ratings for your friend’s categories, so that your opinions can be heard in all group decisions.
Groups are collections of members that house events. To be able to create events in a group, you must attach a category to the group. Take, for example, a group with a Food category attached to it. You could create an event called “Lunch” using this Food category, and it will pull all the choices and the ratings that each group member has for this category in order to produce the optimal choices.
If groups are the potatoes of the app, then events are the meat. You’ll be able to update your ratings for the event category and vote on the optimal choices that our algorithm produces. The choice with the highest vote wins!
