Justin K
Teacher and Tech Coach
4.0

Justin: Hi, my name is Justin. I'm an English language arts teacher and a technology coach. I'm at a middle school of about 150 students, and I give Doodle a four star rating. Before Doodle, if we needed to schedule anything, it was constant emails back and forth, and people not paying attention to dates and times, and it took forever. Doodle really gives us the ability to schedule easily without the hassle of lots of emails back and forth. Doodle is nice because it's pretty simple to use. I can teach other teachers how to use it. Setup is easy and it really just gives us the flexibility and features that we need for simple scheduling. Doodle's pretty easy. There are a lot of ads and distractions on the page at times, so it can be a little hard to find what you need. But for the most part, I'd say it's very user-friendly, easy to teach people how to use, easy to set up and easy to get the information back that you need. I would recommend trying Doodle if you're having trouble scheduling. If you're like me, where you had emails slinging back and forth about what times people are available, it just really streamlines that process in a way that's simple, fast, and efficient.

Owner
5.0

David W.: My name is David, I'm the Executive Director, and my rating for Genbook is a five. For more ratings, click below. Our previous scheduling program was written on paper. It was inefficient. Genbook has replaced the efficiency. I have several reasons for choosing Genbook. Efficiency, cost-effective, the ability to reschedule patients without being in the office, and be able to recall them when necessary. The set-up protocol for Genbook was quite simple and the staff was very helpful in providing services. My recommendation and considerations for obtaining Genbook would be, if you have more than one employee, I highly recommend it to control your hours and your scheduling.
