When To Use The Radio Button

  • When you only want the user to select one item
  • If you have fewer than six options
  • You want to force a selection of one
  • If the question only has two options that are yes/no
  • If you want your users to click ‘save’ to implement the option

If your option’s labels are short, consider using a multiple-choice toggle.

Difference between Radio Buttons and Checkboxes

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Jamyson Haug
