Google Forms is terrible for ranking surveys
The only ranking format available on Google Forms (“Multiple-Choice Grid”) is a hot mess that doesn’t even fit on a desktop screen, nevermind mobile devices. Meanwhile, OpinionX has a whole range of ranking formats all available completely free.

"I chose OpinionX because I needed to rank 16 items and Google Forms doesn't do it nicely (their "Multi Choice Grid" sucks!)" — Jake Hocking, Product Manager
