We have worked with Audience Response Systems for well over a decade, using their polling products in many of our meetings and training session. Both Winquiry and SNAP have ramped up our interactivity and engagement dramatically in our programs.

I have been using the ARS System, from Audience Response Systems Inc. for about 11-12 years now. Over the years we have received the best support from your team, from the beginning when we were initially trained on how to setup the equipment, to how to operate the software. Whenever I use the emergency line, you are very responsive, helpful, and courteous when I call. We began using the Winquiry Software, and now we are using the Pro / PushOne (for some meeting), but I can’t say enough about how Debbie Minor, Debby Velders, and the technical team has been there to answer my questions and walk me through many different situations.
We love our Audience Response System! We initially purchased the system to use for pre and post testing in our Continuing Medical Education lectures. We found the audience enjoyed being able to participate. It kept their interest and gave the speaker immediate feedback on their knowledge and understanding of the subject. .and the nicest thing about the audience response system for me is the ease of setup. When I get a last minute call, I don’t have to ‘sweat’ and ‘fret’. I can have it set up in a matter of minutes!
After more than a dozen years’ utilization of your wonderful applications, may we express our highest appreciation for your sw’s and for the incredible attention you pay to your customers, judging from our own experience. In fact, you are by far the most responsive and careful supplier we have.

Thank you for your support with our Audience Response System. You’ve been extremely flexible with my “on demand” questions and I truly appreciate your time in answering my questions and walking me through the various stages of using the ARS system. You exemplify true customer service!
We’ve received multiple requests to use the ARS system at high profile meetings with internal staff, external physicians and community members. They all love the system as it provides real-time feedback and makes meetings much more interesting and fun from an interactive perspective. We are having difficulty booking the system throughout the corporation because so many staff members want to use this at their meetings!
Our group recently used the SNAP audience response system for pre and post-tests in an annual education event. SNAP allowed us to determine what our participants gained from the session and how we can improve our program – all with an easy PowerPoint set up and the click of a hundred keypads. It couldn’t have been easier! And SNAP is fun for the participants.
