"The Pulse of Public Opinion"
Our Mission
Votappa is revolutionizing how people share opinions and make decisions together. We are building the world's most engaging polling platform where every voice matters, every opinion counts, and communities thrive through meaningful conversations.
What We Do
Real-Time Polling
Create and vote on polls instantly. Watch results update in real-time as people share their opinions.
Community Building
Join or create communities around shared interests. Connect with like-minded people and discover new perspectives.
Local and Global Reach
Engage with local community issues or participate in global conversations. Your location, your choice.
Instant Engagement
One-tap voting, rich media support, and seamless sharing across social platforms make engagement effortless.
Embeddable Poll Widgets
Embed any Votappa poll directly on your website, blog, or CMS with a simple copy-paste iframe. Readers vote live without leaving your page — no account needed. Results update in real-time with animated bars, the widget auto-refreshes every 30 seconds after voting, and a built-in info icon (ⓘ) explains how it works to new visitors. Works on WordPress, Substack, Wix, Squarespace, and any platform that supports iframes. Completely free.
Community Launch Wizard
New community? Hit the ground running. Instantly populate your community with dozens of locally-relevant, pre-written polls — all personalised to your town and region in seconds.
Creator Dashboard
Every community creator gets a personal dashboard to track members, polls, and votes, monitor milestone progress, and access a Community Success Kit — including promotion guides, growth tips, and ready-made social posts.
Community Admin Panel
Community creators and moderators get a full admin panel: manage members, a poll manager with visibility toggle, a drip feed scheduler to auto-release polls over days/weeks, and a built-in media studio to generate social content for your community.
AI Poll Assistant
Not sure what to poll about? Our AI assistant helps you craft engaging, debate-sparking poll ideas. It remembers your conversation context, understands your interests, and generates ready-to-post polls with options included — all in seconds.
Export Poll Results (CSV)
Poll creators can export their full results as a CSV file with one tap. The export includes the question, each answer option, total votes, percentage breakdown, and anonymised voter IDs with timestamps — ready to drop into Excel or Google Sheets.
Zero-Friction Guest Voting
Guests can vote on any shared poll without creating an account. After voting, they see live results and are invited to join Votappa — with their vote saved and automatically counted.
Personalised Category Filtering
Tap any category chip in the feed carousel — from Honesty and Hot Topics to Sports or Politics — to instantly filter polls by topic. The selected category highlights in cyan; tap it again or press Clear to reset.
My Opinion Card
After voting, tap Share and you see a beautiful branded graphic showing your chosen option, the percentage of people who agree with you, and a call-to-action to Votappa. Toggle between your personalised Opinion Card and the standard poll results card, then download or share directly to social media — turning every vote into a personal statement worth posting.
Opinion Tribes
As you vote, Votappa quietly analyses your choices and assigns you to one of nine personality-driven Opinion Tribes — from The Hot Take Merchant to The Deep Thinker or The Culture Vulture. Your tribe card appears in your feed, shows what percentage of users share your tribe, and can be shared with friends so they can discover theirs too.
Poll Series
Group related polls into a numbered Series to tell a multi-part story. Creators can build tournament brackets, multi-angle debates, and ongoing narratives — each poll numbered and linked on a dedicated Series page. Followers get notified when new polls drop, drafts can be staged before publishing, and each series has its own shareable link. The AI Assistant can generate a full series automatically from a single topic description.
Live Events
Turn Votappa into a real-time audience engagement tool for AGMs, conferences, debates, town halls, and panel discussions. Create an event, add a sequence of polls, and share a short 6-character join code. Attendees vote live at votappa.com/event/CODE — no app or account required. A dedicated Presenter view shows projection-ready live bar charts on the big screen, and when the event ends, Votappa auto-generates a shareable recap image with the full results.

Unlike Twitter or Instagram polls which are limited to two options and basic formats, Votappa offers six distinct poll types, community hubs, real-time results, shareable poll links and detailed engagement insights. Votappa gives creators and publishers full control over their polling experience without being restricted by a social media platform's limitations.

What is the pulse of public opinion?
Votappa captures the pulse of public opinion by aggregating real votes from real people on the topics that matter most. From politics and sport to lifestyle and entertainment, Votappa reflects what people genuinely think — not just what algorithms decide to show them.

What are Opinion Tribes on Votappa?
Opinion Tribes is a personalisation feature that analyses your voting history and assigns you to one of nine distinct personality archetypes based on the topics you engage with most. Tribes include The Hot Take Merchant, The Civic Thinker, The Culture Vulture, The Tech Oracle, The Sports Fanatic, The Life Explorer, The Deep Thinker, The Money Mind, and The Wild Card. Your tribe card appears in your feed, shows what percentage of users share your tribe, and is shareable so friends can discover their own tribe. The more you vote, the more accurate your tribe becomes.
What is the Poll Series feature on Votappa?
Poll Series lets creators group related polls into a numbered, narrative-driven collection — displayed together on a dedicated Series page. Each poll is numbered (Poll 1, Poll 2, etc.) and viewers can navigate through the full story. Creators can stage drafts inside a series before publishing, reorder polls at any time, and mark a series as Ongoing or Completed. Every series has its own unique share link. Followers who subscribe to a series are notified automatically when a new poll is published. The AI Assistant can detect multi-part topics — like a tournament, an election campaign, or a multi-angle news story — and generate a complete series of fully-formed polls in one go, ready to publish or save as drafts.
What are Live Events on Votappa?
Live Events turns Votappa into a real-time audience engagement tool for AGMs, conferences, debates, town halls, and panel discussions. A host creates an event, adds a sequence of polls, and shares a short 6-character join code. Attendees go to votappa.com/event/CODE in any browser and vote live as each poll is activated — no app download or account required. A dedicated Presenter view displays projection-ready live bar charts on the big screen, updating in real-time as votes come in.
