I am the creator of Visimojo and I will be happy to answer your questions. The app is still in beta and my todo list is rather long, but I decided to release it publicly and collect some feedback.


This could be improved if you do not already have it on the todo: http://imgur.com/a/9o1bA

All I did was move the box. The connections remain the same. The "No" connection should be distinguished from the "Yes" and default connection.


Thank you for the suggestion! The connections need a lot of improvement. I will experiment with different colors to make them easier to distinguish.

Awesome app! Looks promising!

Q: You where asking permission to perform tasks when I was not using the app on my google account. Why is that? :-)

Tip: Id love to see you obscure the URL instead of using ID: http://visimojo.com/survey/take/114 as it would be extremely easy to ruin other peoples surveys. :-)

Q: I will definitely use this app when creating my surveys, and I would very well will be willing to pay for it! What would your pricing-structure be?


Re: Saw the pricing of $24/month on the page. Dunno why I missed that.

Would you consider charging for each Survey or each Response instead?


I like the URL idea - ID numbers are not very friendly (and as you said are bad for privacy).

I'd like to keep pricing simple - pay a fixed price and use it as much as you like. This to me is both easier to implement and will encourage people to use it more.


Yeah, URL Fix is key I think...

But about the pricing; consider this: * You'd probably earn hellofalot more with individual pricing? I mean, I pay per sent SMS/Email/Whatever on other services. It's the usage that will cost you money in terms of data-transfers?

If I'd use your service with a newsletter of 100 000 subscribers, let's say 10% would answer my very quick survey, you'd have to host these 10 000 users throughout the survey with $26 in your pocket.

It might be sustainable in the long run if you have enough users that does not utilize the service that much - but with a couple of enterprise users you might be out of luck(?)...

I'd still consider thinking twice about your price-structure, you might want to charge 24/month, including X answers or something?

I'd certainly be willing to pay a fixed price per month (Maybe lower) and then $0.xx per answer to my survey?

Best of luck! :-)


I got a screen resolution error at 1280x1024, but clicking onto the demo video and then hitting back in my browser got me to the app (which looked absolutely fine at my res).

Other than that, looks awesome, and really responsive on my slow netbook which is great for an app like this.


Thank you! The reason it runs nice on your netbook is that it was developed on a netbook :)

I should handle the resolution better - I set 1366x768 as a base minimum for screen size, but a width of 1280 is perfectly acceptable, and I will update it in a moment.


Your users are going to be non-technical such as managers not software developers. The message is misleading. It is talking about screen size not screen resolution.

Moreover, why shouldn’t I be able to use this at 1024x768?


Is there a real reason you can't just get rid of the size requirement? People can see to resize their browser window if they're feeling cramped and it's practical.


How will you treat using your surveys and the builder as part of another app, as a service? API, restyling, white label and pricepoint.


I am not a big fan of white labeling. I'd prefer to keep the service standalone.
