Question types not supported in mobile surveys

If the survey contains unsupported questions, mobile participants do not see them and therefore cannot provide an answer. Only use question types that are supported in both environments if you intend to deploy the survey to mobile and desktop participants. All question types are supported except for the ones listed below.
