You can’t change an existing survey.
The maker spends more time to ask for money than to make an complete FAQ.
A real waste of time.

Awesome Surveys is basic and easy to use, exactly what I needed. What I thought was great was the support. I had an alignment issue and asked for help and got a timely response that helped.

Works very well indeed. Covers all the bases you may need when you need to create a survey with check-boxes, radio-buttons, drop-down boxes etc. You can also add ‘html’ elements to the form which can be very useful for adding <hr> tags as dividers or adding text as section headings.
You can decide how to validate the form and you can control the issue of avoiding multiple entries by end users by setting passwords or using cookies.
The results are very easy to use. You can see at a glance the total responses to any survey question in both numerical and percentage values.
Highly recommended.

Do what I want: Quickly and simply make a simple survey.
But there is no export to CSV (I don’t understood how it work… sorry): https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/export-to-excel-3
and the results are quite difficult to use…

Not been moved to review any plug in before, but this one is a real shame.
A simple tool to install a series of survey questions turns out to be a nightmare, with repeated questions going missing, no ability to edit question time, questions set to radio button (one answer only) but coming out as check box – something that’s utterly useless when I just want a yes/no answer with an option for maybe.
Do I like this plug in? Yes/No or maybe?
Does anyone really need to answer that?

I was a bit sceptical about this plugin after reading some of the negative reviews however I persevered and I’m glad I did.
Although there are some obvious downsides like, ability to edit questions afterwards (sometimes its just easier to delete and start again) and not being able to download the results to CSV or similar. On the whole the survey plugin is great and support is good too.

As other have found this plugin is full of bugs.
It’s just not worth the effort.

Sometimes questions don’t save, limited UI, editing some questions bring up other questions. Uninstalled after a few hours of use.

The process for creating a survey is excellent. The plugin is attractive and easy to work with. However, getting results is a problem. This plugin is probably unworkable for surveys that require analysis. Unfortunately, analysis is usually essential to the survey process.
The only way to get results is to copy pages and paste them into a document. So…results are available but not very usable.
The author’s suggestion to dump the database in PHPMyAdmin did not work for me. The table cited had information about the table, but not the table data itself. The data must be somewhere. Surely it can be accessed. It’s just not clear how to do that.
My survey results can be shared and will be somewhat useful. It would be much better to have CSV or some better location of the data in MySQL.

Looks like, easy to use but eventually it just stops working. Surveys disappear, questions disappear and buttons don’t work. Very frustrating.

There are some extremely odd limitations.
-No more than 10 radio, dropdown, or check box options are allowed in the front end form.
-No way to show rolling results
-No way to export results
-No way to see the percentages of your results unless you use “inspect element” on your browser.
– There are multiple reports on the support form of data disappearing with no hope for recovery.
NO SUPPORT AT ALL FROM AUTHOR IN OVER A MONTH. I sent messages through the support forum, twitter, facebook, and his website. It has been over a month with no response.

I had no trouble creating the survey, but lost the short code immediately upon saving.
More distressing has been the fact that my results seem to be…nowhere. I posted to the support forum and have yet to receive a reply to help rectify this incredibly irritating problem.
I recommend that you stay away from his plugin. I’m not sure what could be worse for a survey plugin than to successfully send it out and not be able to access results.

I love this survey tool, it IS awesome. I tried another one before this which had WAY more ratings, but it was really complicated. This one was dead easy.
My only gripe is that I spent a long time creating a survey with lots of detailed options, I then tested it and found a problem. As I had already tested the survey as if I were a customer and received an email as I had set that up, the survey was now no longer editable.
I had a section right at the bottom where people could leave an email address if they wanted, but it was supposed to be optional NOT required and as I had completed the survey I was locked out from editing it to fix this problem.
I can see that you can clone the survey so that allowed me to then edit it again and reinsert it, but I think this is a little clumsy rather than just being able to edit the original.
I also found that where you have a tickbox question option, you can have one of your answer choices ticked by default. I now can’t turn it off again. This means that two out of a number of different questions have one of the tickboxes ticked and it looks odd only those questions have boxes already ticked. It looks like I am trying to force my answers on the customer. I have yet to figure out how to uncheck them which is a bit annoying (if you know how to fix it please let me know).
Those minor gripes aside, it really is an excellent tool!

UPDATE: Like many of the other negative reviews, the plugin works until it doesn’t. I was eight weeks into market research with two to go, and BAHM! my survey and results were gone. Devastating, to say the least.
ORIGINAL REVIEW (earlier, I gave it 5 stars): It does what it says it will do, and records survey results both collectively and individually. Thanks to the developers!

Nice plugin..easily configured.
Simply coded..great

Somewhere around 150 results (conservative estimate, we think it was closer to 200) this plug-in imploded. The survey no longer even showed up in the pages, all results data was destroyed, and the survey itself was destroyed so to use it again I’d have to go through and redo all the questions. Since the email function never actually worked for me, I can’t recover any of it (and yes, I’ve checked my spam box for results).
Not knocking the hardworking people who made this plug in, because I know programming is not easy. You can spend hours trying to work out a bug and never figure it out. That said, despite honest efforts, the plug-in doesn’t work, and I recommend against using it.
I honestly wish someone would either take it down or code an official limit at [very few] responses so that no one else gets burned. I truly wish I’d read the one-star reviews beforehand.
For what it’s worth, as a family farm, we don’t make a ton of money. Many of us do not take salaries. That said, we have donated to free plug-ins in the past once they prove they work – we find a ton of plug-ins (both paid and free) don’t actually work. We thought this one would. It hurts us to lose this much information from customers as we’re struggling to make end’s meet.

Like others report: My survey (which took quite a while to create) first ran without problems. After 6 days and 258 answers it disappeared completely, along with all results. I did not do any updates of any kind in the meantime, and was not even logged in. It’s as if there’s a built in self-destruction in this plugin after 200+ answers or so! I never experienced anything of the like.
I had email notification, so I will use a day or more to go through all answers and manually enter them into a spreadsheet.
Many have mentioned this issue. Last response from dev was three weeks ago:
“Sounds to me like there may be a database problem”
Indeed. I guess he’s as clueless as the rest of us. Don’t use!

I was so happy to finally find a good plugin for a survey. But I am SO disappointed. I run quite a big blog, so in a few hours my survey got a lot of response. But every time after 150-200 responses the survey gave an error. I lost in total 500 responses (!!) without any back-up. Everything is gone. ?? I’m never using this again. I tried to get in contact with the maker of the plugin, but no response either. Do not use this, it’s crap. ??
