360 survey tools that capture feedback people find hard to type
Good 360 feedback is specific. "Great communicator" helps nobody grow. Asked is one of the 360 survey tools that let reviewers answer open questions by typing, speaking or recording a short video, then turn every answer into themes and quotes the person can learn from.
Rating grids are easy, useful comments are rare
Most 360 forms ask reviewers to rate a list of competencies and leave an optional comment. Reviewers rush the grid and skip the comment. The person being reviewed gets averages and very little to act on.
Asked keeps the ratings and makes the open questions easier to answer. A reviewer can talk through one concrete situation in a minute, which often says more than a paragraph they would never write.
Run a 360 round in four steps
- Build the survey from your competency list, or describe the goal and let Asked draft the questions.
- Create one survey per person reviewed, or one survey with a question that names who the feedback is about.
- Share the link with peers, direct reports and the manager by email invite.
- Read the summary per person, with themes, sentiment and quotes.
Question types include rating, multiple choice, yes or no and open answers by text, voice or video.
Respondents answer without an account
Reviewers open a link and answer in the browser. They do not create an account. The survey creator decides whether the survey asks reviewers for their name or their relationship to the person, such as peer, report or manager. Asking for the relationship only is a common choice.
Tell reviewers before they start what you collect and who will read it. Voice and video answers carry a voice or a face, so text is always available on every open question. Retention can be set per survey and answers can be deleted on request. See survey data security for the details.
A summary per person instead of a pile of comments
Asked transcribes spoken answers, gives each answer a sentiment and groups answers into themes such as feedback style, prioritization or delegation. Each theme lists the quotes behind it. The one-page summary is ready for the development conversation, and you can export it to PDF or the raw answers to CSV.

FAQ
No. Reviewers open the link and answer in the browser on any device.
