Fast Select is a Custom Interfaces plugin built on single choice — a quick-tap, mobile-first alternative to the standard radio-button list.
What respondents see#
A grid of large tappable cards (text, image, or both). Tapping a card selects it, and the question can be configured to auto-advance to the next question immediately on tap — no separate Next button press required.
When to use it#
- Mobile-first studies where every extra tap matters.
- A/B image picks and quick-swipe-style screening.
- Any single-choice question you want to feel frictionless.
Configuring it in the builder#
Drag Fast Select from the Custom Interfaces group in the question palette, or convert an existing single choice question. Answer options are authored the same way as standard single choice (text, images, rich text). Plugin-specific display options live in the question's Settings tab.

Logic support#
Built on single choice, so it supports the same condition operators as a standard single-choice question — Selected, Not selected, Is any of, Is none of, Answered, Not answered. See Logic, Flow & Conditions.
Good to know#
- All standard single-choice logic, piping, and carry-forward options apply — the plugin only changes rendering, not storage.
