Reviews
what people actually sayCrowdsignal Dashboard is a functional polls-and-surveys plugin with a reasonable feature set, but it is held back by a misleading free tier, mandatory account registration, an unpolished UI, recurring bugs, and support that users describe as dismissive or unresponsive.
