A Once Wonderful Product...On The Decline

3.0 last year

Comments: Doodle used to be the standard for scheduling meetings and for good reason - the tool was easy to use. However, the past few years, Doodle has really gone down hill. Part of this isn't their fault: Calendly and other scheduling tools gained popularity and were more convenient for people to use. Part of this is their fault:
- Their redesign was a big step backwards
- Their user interface is now worse and harder to use
- The free version is virtually pointless
With all of that said, if you do pay for Doodle then the product is a decent tool. Is it better than Calendly and other tools? It depends on your use. But, if you are looking to just use the free version, I would steer you in a different direction. Hopefully Doodle will fix their issues and get back to being an extremely useful tool.

Pros:

Subscription price isn't very expensive

Cons:

User interface is lacking Free version is useless

Must-Have software to stay on top of things

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: If you work as a team whether in work or school, Doodle will save you a lot of times to schedule the day. It has all the necessary tools for planning.

Pros:

This software is one of the most efficient tools to organize your schedules and coordinate tasks with your colleagues/team members. The User Interface of this application is simple and straightforward, which means it is easy to use for beginners as well. It has all the essential features to plan out your day. Doodle is most helpful in a work environment when you need to coordinate tasks and meeting with others. My team used to spend a lot of times running around to save the time when everyone is available. With Doodle, group scheduling options allows us to save time, make shifts and adjustment without breaking a sweat.

Cons:

Sometimes there is a glitch, which delays to show the schedule I updated. Also it would be extra helpful if the software has more integration/collaboration with other work-related software.

My experience with Doodle as a Virtual Assistant

5.0 last year

Comments: My overall experience with Doodle so far has been amazing. It has greatly impacted my productivity and time management.

Pros:

I love the fact that I can most of the features and functions that I require in my daily business running's are free. I also appreciate the fact that I can sync it with Google calendar and access my appointments and information on the go. And not to mention how much of a time saver it is.

Cons:

I wish it was a little easier to sue and optimize for new/beginner users; and also more added functional features on the free version.

A great event-planner device

5.0 last year

Comments: As I said it is much more easy to use Doodle than having an Excel sheet and try to match everybody's available time slot. The userface is simple which makes it easy to get used to.

Pros:

It is a great tool to arrange appointments and gatherings, see who can come and when is the most useful time for such kind of events.

Cons:

Since our team uses it very frequent I decided to upload a profile picture and had some problems about it.

Easy to Schedule Large Meetings

5.0 8 months ago

Pros:

I regularly recommend Doodle when I have a large number of people trying to schedule a meeting - especially when I have people with very busy schedules. It is easy for people to put in their availability and allow the organizer to find the best time that works for everyone without having to send a million emails or texts.

Cons:

It can be hard to see all the options in the expanded view.

It’s like a personal assistant!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Being on the road most of the day, this app takes pressure off needing to be always answering my phone and scheduling appointments.

Pros:

I love that my existing and potential customers have an avenue to schedule my time in a way that is efficient, accessible and user friendly!

Cons:

Having a simple and short training video would be helpful to help get my colleagues who are afraid of technology on board to learning and using the app.

Doodle is the go-to

4.0 last year

Pros:

Most people are fairly familiar with the interface and how it works. I think that limiting free features, like anonymity, is always a downer, but still good for what it’s for and intuitive to most.

Cons:

It’s been stripped to bare bones features for the free version and I do miss the anonymous feature.

Be Organized with Doodle

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: When my customers need my photo and video services, Doodle helps me get my messages faster and clearer to and from them, I love the way I schedule different photoshoots and or weddings.

Pros:

What I love the most about Doodle is how easy it is to use, ease of access wherever you are at, the different fonts and scheduling options make doodle a must have for a small, medium or large company. It definitely has helped my small company be more organized.

Even though I love this interface, every time I try to add a new schedule, or coordinate my calendar with it, ti freezes, or should I say it crashes.

Great free tool

4.0 10 months ago

Pros:

The free version does the job when trying to schedule meetings with people from different organizations. Also love that it converts to a user’s own time zone— no calculating! Don’t you wonder why Microsoft hasn’t figured this out for multiple orgs?? Thanks doodle for stepping in!!

Cons:

Limited, but useful, functionality with the free version

Mark Your Calendar

4.0 8 months ago

Pros:

Great for organizing your schedule and planning ahead. It is also useful when attempting to schedule a meeting around everyone's schedule. Good software to use for calendar sharing. There are free features you can access without paying.

Cons:

Support team is typically unhelpful. They do attempt to resolve your problems but can take forever in getting back to you. I also do not like the ads. For some it is also more difficult to use as some people are unfamiliar about the platform. Connection Google calendar would be a huge plus for the lower plans.
