I'm not sure what you're trying to do but: it's certain that the poor array object has no idea what and how your own custom class does, its best possibility to print an instance of your class is to call its description method, which you see, and which is not really helpful. You maybe want to do two things:

I. If you only want to print your objects like this, override the description method of your class and use some format string (given that you haven't written a single line of code I have to fall back to guess):

- (NSString *)description
{
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Name: %@, address: %@", self.name, self.address];
}

II. If you want to use the data of your class elsewhere, you probably want to loop through its properties manually:

for (QuestionData *d in surveyQuestions)
{
    NSLog(@"%@", d.name);
    // etc.
}
