Allow voters to see their own individual answers after submission

As a teacher using Mentimeter, I would be so grateful if voters can see their own answers on their devices after they submit. Right now, after voters submit their answers, they cannot see their individual answers on their own devices.
I teach foreign language classes and use the open ended questions to allow students to brainstorm and write down their thoughts before they share to the whole class, but the current system makes it unable for students to check what they wrote if they press "submit."
For multiple choice questions, I worry that when the questions are complicated, students may forget what they voted for unless they can see their own answers.
The beauty of Mentimeter is the live polling and seeing the results of the whole group, but this will be more meaningful if voters can compare/contrast their own answers with the whole group, so being able to see their own answers on their device is crucial.
Thank you for your consideration!

Also where you can send open ended responses back to students to vote, I would really like them to keep up the responses that they vote for on their screen. That way you could ask them to describe which one they voted for and why - and they could see their chosen response(s) right in front of them.

Exactly my thoughts! Spot on!
When I ask students to rank answers by quality from first to last, I want them to be able to see where they disagreed with class. This can lead to great learning discussions at their table or with their elbow partner.
When I ask students to submit open ended questions, it is useful for partners to be able to read each others answers before revealing all the answers that went to the class. Also, for me as a teacher it is useful to circulate and give formative feedback. I can't do this if their response disappears from their screen.
