Core Strengths

The core strengths of formr

Live Feedback

generates live and interactive feedback, including ggplot2, interactive ggvis and htmlwidgets. In our studies, this increases interest and retention. See examples.

Reminders, invitations

sends automated reminders via email or text message, you can generate custom text and feedback here too

Responsive Layout

all platforms and device sizes are supported (about 30-40% of participants fill out our surveys on a mobile device)

Share & Remix

easily share, swap and remix surveys (they're just spreadsheets) and runs (they're just JSON). Track version changes in these files with e.g. the OSF.

Use R

use R to do anything it can do (plot a graph or even use a sentiment analysis of a participant's Twitter feed to decide which questions to ask)

Secure and open source

Participants can only connect via an SSL-encrypted connection. Learn more about security on formr.
