What Apoll is
Apoll is a free browser service for running live, anonymous question-and-answer sessions during meetings, workshops, webinars, and training. Attendees join from a desktop, tablet, or phone by opening a shared link or scanning a QR code, without creating an account or installing an app. They can submit questions anonymously and upvote the questions they most want answered, with questions and votes updating in real time. Hosts can mark questions as answered, hide them, and control what appears on a shared screen. Apoll says it does not collect personal information from attendees. Sessions are free for up to six hours; afterward, the session and its questions are automatically cleared. The service is intended for single events rather than persistent discussion boards. Q&A is the first available poll type, while scoring and feedback polls are described as future additions. There is no live polling or quiz mode. The Free plan costs nothing.

Verdict
Apoll focuses on straightforward anonymous Q&A for live events. Its browser access and host moderation keep participation simple, but the six-hour clearing limit and single-event design matter for longer-running use.
