### "Scheduling my work day"

January 28, 2022

4.0

Used in planning the day with cooperation with other people.

Pros

You can easily plan your working day in contact with other people. No need to call anyone else. Polls groups.

Cons

Too simple, terrible design. It could communicate with the google calendar.

### "Easy basic scheduling software"

December 13, 2021

4.0

Great software for scheduling meetings

Pros

I appreciate that it syncs with my Google calendar and already shows when I am busy, so I don't have to pull up both windows at once or trust myself to remember my schedule. It also saves me the hassle of having to click or unclick time slots based on this.

Cons

I wish Doodle provided the option to use arbitrary dates, like when scheduling recurring meetings, versus specific days (Ex: I want to put just Monday and Tuesday, not Monday 12/13 and Tuesday 12/14, on the calendar). Or, if this is a feature, I must've missed it, meaning it is difficult to access and should be easier to find.

### "Doodle for Meeting Scheduling "

March 16, 2019

5.0

Doodle makes me life super easy! It is great.

Pros

Doodle is a great way to schedule appointments and makes it super easy to compare schedules. I have a lot of people that have different schedules and this makes it easier for people to easily mark when they are available. I am then able to clearly see what day and time works best.

Cons

Doodle is great! I have never had a problem and it also allows me to edit my surveys if I make a mistake.

### "Seems to be the best way to consensus"

December 18, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is a straight forward poll of times you are available to meet. Simply asks a question of time frames for all invitees to respond to. Essentially a time logistics software that allows the organizer to optimize the best time for a meeting. If the other poll takers are later they can easily help the process by only picking times already chosen.

Cons

Nothing really wrong with how this software works in my opinion. I guess it could be completely blind polling.

### "Makes Scheduling for Teachers Easy"

August 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

I used this product when I was teaching at university last year and even back then it was incredibly helpful when I needed to schedule individual conferences with my students. I could just list all the times I was available and the students did the rest. No one had to log-in to anything, no one had to sign-up for anything. Very easy.

Cons

Sometimes the calendar of available dates, when long, stretched off the screen and it was hard to maneuver around that, but it didn't effect my enjoyment of the program. It was far to useful for something that minimal to change anything.

### "Review of Doodle"

February 6, 2019

3.0

Overall, Doodle is a useful tool for setting up quick polls for scheduling or voting on choices. The free tool is a great value, but I don't think it's worth paying for the premium service.

Pros

What I like the most about Doodle is it's ease of use in terms of setting up a quick poll of dates or ideas. Using their free service, you can generate a doodle very quickly and send to anyone to update, collaborate over scheduling or voting on ideas.

Cons

My least favorite aspect of Doodle is their calendar view-- this feature can definitely be improved. It only allows you to see one day at a time. In general, their display could be improved. It would be better if all dates in the checklist format were viewable when the phone is in normal viewing mode, but you have to turn your phone horizontal to change the view to see everything without scrolling.

### "Perfect in its Simplicity"

December 16, 2019

5.0

Doodle really is so helpful in managing even small groups of people. Everyone is now given the time to check their own schedules. I believe that this matched with the thought that plans were created around your schedule actually helps people stick to their plans with meetings beginning on time and staying more efficient.

Pros

This is the perfect tool in our crazy busy world. It helped me organize a large group of individuals in a fair and accessible way. I highly recommend for any event, from business to personal and everything in between.

Cons

The only tiny con I have found is the lack of ability for categorization of responses. This feature could be useful when choosing dates based on particular individual availability.

### "Convenient, time-saving scheduling tool"

October 29, 2020

5.0

I turned to Doodle when scheduling meetings with various people and conflicting schedules. It has become my go-to and I recommend it any time scheduling is being discussed.

Pros

Doodle has greatly simplified coordinating various people's schedules without a huge back-and-forth over email. It has been a lifesaver for scheduling with ease!

Cons

I wish there was a way to customize the monthly view with multiple time blocks that was more of a standard monthly view.

### "Perfect way to make things happen"

May 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love how this software tackles an apparently simple problem – get people to agree on a schedule – and almost effortlessly makes things happen. I’ve been using it both for personal and professional use and it’s agreed upon as one of the most user friendly and full-featured solutions for this kind of problems.

Cons

Nothing really, it’s one little tool that gets the job done in an easy, intuitive and even funny way.

### "So convenient!"

December 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is one of the most convenient schedulers!

Cons

The email reminder feature shouldn’t be a premium feature.

### "Appointment scheduling made easy"

February 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

Doodle has always been my top-of-mind option when it comes to appointment/meeting scheduling. The interface is highly intuitive: I can just go to the website to set up my invitation link in no time. Results are clearly presented so I can quickly see which option works best for most attendees. I don't even need to create an account to use Doodle at all.

Cons

It's hard to have any complaint for a tool that is dedicated to such a simple task and does it so well. If anything, I personally find that the premium plans are not really worth it. For Pro and Team plans, only annual payment plan is available, which is not very cost-effective for someone working on a project based like me.

### "Highly recommended for scheduling "

November 29, 2018

5.0

This is the fastest way to collect and visually see the availability of a large team or entire department.

Pros

Doodle is the easiest way to figure out the availability of a large group of people. You can set your own options for the time slots.

Cons

Since you enter your name yourself, rather having it generated by your login account, there is the possibility that a user can accidentally delete their own availability or respond multiple times.

### "Very easy to use"

December 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

Doodle is great for organizing meetings. It is easy to set up, just choose possible dates and times and send to those you want to participate.

Cons

If you put in too many dates/times, the chart can get a bit confusing to look at, but other than that it is great.

### "Find out availability in a fun way"

April 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

Doodle provides a great visual solution for people to signify availability and to easily see overlap to find a time that works best for the most people. Or to allow people in a complex environment provide availability to develop a general work schedule.

Cons

It's dependent on the people actually responding to the doodle poll in a timely fashion - no fault of Doodle's though!

### "Straightforward but sometimes tedious"

September 24, 2020

4.0

The best and easiest way to schedule anything. However, repetitive tasks can become tedious and calendar view to enter dates and times can be confusing.

Pros

Straightforward Easy to setup and Use Zero learning curve Free plan with almost all features Feature rich (e.g. hidden replies, email notifications etc.)

Cons

Sometimes tedious, to enter the same dates/times over and over again Calendar view can be confusing

### "SO easy to use and SO helpful"

November 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

People find this incredibly easy to use and it is so useful to see when people are available.

Cons

It's not so easy to create a recurrence of availability - you have to check off the individual boxes instead. It would be nice if there was a recurrence feature like on outlook. I also wish there was the ability to have the user anonymous but unique (like one vote per email, but admin can't see whose vote is whose)

### "Quick scheduler that just works"

April 27, 2019

4.0

Pros

Quick to set up. Easy to participate with. Whilst planning for a bbq venue/date, I was able to set this up and share the link with a WhatsApp group. Venue and date sorted in a jiffy. Mobile app available.

Cons

Not free. However, there is a free trial available.

### "Great for scheduling big meetings"

March 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

I use it to help schedule big meetings with a lot of staff. It's easy to set up a doodle poll and even easier to see the results.

Cons

I wish that you could go right to the free version when you want to set up a poll. There's a couple of steps you need to take before you can use the free version.

### "From doodle to done"

July 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

The way in which each doodle is done is great, you can customize your doodle and set a meeting, an appointment or anything by choosing specific times in a week or just days in a month. The syncing of doodle set dates to your calendar is really helpful to avoid making mistakes in your agenda.

Cons

It's very easy to use, even if the user is not really familiar with it, I don't see any difficulties in using it.

### "Quick way to find mutual free time between colleagues or friends"

December 3, 2019

4.0

Overall this product was great, but now we use When2Meet because it's easier and faster to set up and distribute. Also it's free.

Pros

This is a quick way to figure out when everyone is free to meet for a specific cause (meetings, social activity, etc).

Cons

Some of the functionality has now been put behind a pay-wall. Creating the time schedule of available time could use some serious User Interface improvement as well.

Reason for choosing Doodle

We chose When2Meet.

Pros

Dispositif à la portée de tous et peut être bloquer par les administrateurs par ex pour éviter que des congés soit poser après que l’administrateur est bloqué

### "Coordinating and organising with ease"

August 21, 2019

4.0

We're cutting down on email traffic hugely - this helps a great deal when trying to organise times to meet across departments and even across organisations. Using Doodle is easy, effective and my go-to system in making sure all the colleagues I need to see can let me know their availability with ease.

Pros

The ability to add multiple dates, options and times to give your colleagues a good range of choices when trying to arrange meetings or events. It takes the hassle out of trying to get people together via email!

Cons

None come to mind - for a free piece of software you can achieve so much and with such ease. I use Doodle whenever I need to organise a meeting, which is a lot, and I've never had any issues.

### "Big Help For Organization!"

December 3, 2019

5.0

It has really helped out with my team being a lot more organized!

Pros

My staff in my department has grown significantly in the last year, and I was looking for a way to save the mass amount of email chains and junking up the inbox with trying to set up meetings or other points of interest for my team. I decided to try Doodle and I am really glad we did. It's very easy for me to send one thing out to my team for say, choosing a date for a meeting, instead of receiving a huge email chain back and forth. It has made life easier for all of us!

Cons

I don't have any qualms about this program. It was easy to set up from my end and it was easy for my staff to follow when they received the doodle notifications about a poll or meeting.
