In all likelihood, you have used a Likert scale (or something you’ve called a Likert scale) in a survey before. It might surprise you to learn that Likert scales are a very specific format and what you have been calling Likert may not be. Not to worry — researchers that have been doing surveys for… Read More »
iPad Surveys
What is this?
SurveyGizmo allows you to easily create iPad surveys using our survey software! All our themes are iPad-compatible – but we’ve also designed several iPhone and iPad survey themes specifically to fit the formatting requirements of an iPad. They’re available to all our customers by default.
To create an iPad survey, all you have to do is set up your online survey in SurveyGizmo like you normally would. When you go to the “Look and Feel” section to choose your survey theme, just select the iPad-friendly theme, and you’re good to go! Your survey will be automatically formatted to work on the iPad’s native browser.*
(You can also customize the iPad survey theme to your heart’s content.)
Additionally, we offer a mobile survey auto-detect feature, which allows you to set a mobile-specific theme in addition to your normal survey theme. When someone arrives at your survey using an iPad, iPhone, or other mobile device, our software will detect their browser and serve up an alternate version of their survey.
Lastly, if you want to further customize your iPad surveys, we have multiple mobile question types available for purchase in the SurveyGizmo Marketplace. They allow you to use some native mobile user interface elements like toggle questions and slider questions in your survey – visit the Marketplace to check them out!
*You can also use our native iPhone theme to make an iPad survey. This is ideal for when you don’t know if your respondents will be taking your survey on their iPad or on another mobile device (like an iPhone or Android phone). Although it’s not specifically formatted for the iPad, the iPhone theme will easily scale up to the size necessary for an iPad. It’s the best of both worlds!
When would I use this?
Use our iPad survey themes whenever you want to conduct a survey or research study using an iPad. It’s great for field research, or to conduct live surveys at events (such as trade shows).
In addition to standard iPad surveys, you can also use an iPad survey in conjunction with our Kiosk Surveys feature to collect multiple responses from various users, or with our Gesture Tally question type to conduct an observational study.
