Mobile Survey Preview

    Check your survey on a phone-sized screen before sending it.

    Switch to the phone frame

    The builder's preview has a device switch. Choose the phone frame to see your survey at phone width.

    Why it matters

    Most survey responses arrive on a phone. A survey that only works on a laptop loses most of its audience silently — respondents do not report the problem, they just stop.

    What to look for

    • Long option labels wrapping onto three lines.
    • Matrix questions, which need horizontal scrolling on narrow screens. Consider splitting a wide matrix into separate rating questions.
    • Images pushing content off screen.
    • The submit button — it must be reachable without a long scroll past the last question.
    • Background images, which crop very differently in portrait.

    Then test on a real phone

    The frame is accurate about width, not about thumbs. Open the live link on your own phone once before a large send.

    Tip — If a question only works on desktop, that is a signal to simplify the question, not to hope your audience is on a laptop.
