SurveyDeck

Overview

Have you ever needed to gather data via a survey, questionnaire, form, checklist or poll while away from your desk, and been annoyed by the amount of paperwork?

SurveyDeck is the iPhone and iPod Touch’s only survey app that syncs with a free survey creation and analysis application. SurveyDeck uses SurveyGizmo’s easy to use survey creator and powerful analysis functionality. All you need is a free or subscription account with SurveyGizmo, and the world of mobile electronic surveying a possibility.

SurveyDeck and SurveyGizmo sync

SurveyDeck is an easy to use substitute for paper-based surveys, questionnaires, checklists, forms and polls. The convenience of creating your surveys online, filling in while away from the office, and analysing the results using powerful computer based tools is SurveyDeck’s raison d’être.

The completion of surveys has even been designed to be as easy to use as possible by non-iPhone users. This means you can give your iPhone or iPod Touch to someone to fill out the survey.

Features

SurveyDeck has powerful and useful features that allow you to gather data effectively and efficiently in the field:

Multiple surveys in your pocket, each storing multiple responses
Offline completion of surveys – an internet connection is not required!
Syncing of surveys and answers at your convenience
Context sensitive help
Multiple SurveyDeck users can share the same survey designs, all submitting to the same SurveyGizmo account
Support for eight different question types: Text box, Multiple Text Boxes, Essay Answer, Radio Buttons (with optional ‘other’ fields), Checkboxes (with optional ‘other’ fields), Drop-Down Menus (with optional pre-filled options), Ranking and Continuous Sum
Index of questions, so you can jump to a specific question
Automatic saving of answers in case of battery failure etc.
Ability to undo, cut, copy and paste answers

Note that while SurveyDeck supports the above features which provides very useful functionality, it currently does NOT support any other SurveyGizmo functionality, such as Advanced Options, Logic, Skipping, Required Questions or HTML formatting of the question text.
