I struggle with scheduling in general so having Doodle as a tool has been helpful in reducing the number of times I set myself up for schedule conflicts and also helps me to be more present in my daily activities since I'm confident I've planned what I need to do effectively. I used to worry a lot trying to figure out which event/task I should prioritize over another because I have a terrible habit of inadvertently scheduling multiple things at the same or overlapping times... thank you doodle! Cons My least favorite experience with Doodle was when I was first introduced to the software through a link that directed me to a group scheduling poll. Somehow my time zone was off and the times that were listed in the poll, which were options for an upcoming meeting, were all showing 2-3am (not what it was supposed to be) I wasn't sure if it was a typo or an error on my end. It wasn't a huge deal and it was fixed when I logged back in a couple hours later, but it did set me back a little bit.

Cons I find this application quite complete. with the moblie application, it is simply practical Review Source Greg F. Squadron Commander/Public Affairs Officer/Leadership Officer/IT Officer Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy way to align multiple schedules for a meeting! " October 13, 2020 4.0 I like using Doodle to get people on the same page to have a meeting where scheduling could otherwise be difficult. I've use it a fair bit in the volunteer space. You need to keep things easy for volunteers so they don't walk away. This is a great tool for that! Just define the options you want to choose from and send a link. Users click the link, visit the site, choose their best options and you get the results in a visual format to help the admin select the timeslot. Easy! Effective! Pros Doodle is easy to administer and also easy for teammates to respond to when we try to align several schedules for a meeting. The graphical interface gives easy at-a-glance access to responses to plan the best time for a meeting. Cons The freeware version is slightly crippled, but I've never seen that as an issue. I guess I'd like a few more features in the free version, but "beggars can't be choosers"! Review Source Michelle C. Administrative Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I can't do my job without Doodle" August 6, 2018 5.0 We have a very large campus with a so many different admins that handle calendars for their executives. Not everyone is on our campusAD yet and even with those that are, some choose not to share their calendars so people can see Free/Busy. This makes it easy for me to pull together dates/time and have one location where I can track responses for what works and what doesn't. Pros This software enables me to make it easy for admins and meeting attendees to mark out their availability for meetings or events without having to play that horrible email game. I use the free version so there is some functionality I can't speak to, but the free version is great. Cons Nothing - it's great. The new interface is a little wonky at times - you tab to get to a time, but then have to space again to enter the time if you're using just your keyboard. Review Source RB Rita B. Impiegata Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ottimo prodotto" January 7, 2023 5.0 Pros Molto utile ed efficace nella gestione delle agende e degli appuntamenti.Intuitivo e veloce. Cons Grafica molto elementare e scarsa interfacciabilità con altri strumenti. Review Source TC Tyler C. Community Education Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've been using Doodle for over a decade" September 4, 2023 5.0 Doodle has allowed me to efficiently find a meeting time for a variety of sizes of groups of people. I always think it has everything I need, yet with every update there is some cool new feature. Pros My favorite thing about Doodle is how scheduling is incredibly easy and the visual it provides when viewing the available of a large amount of people is so helpful. Cons Doodle is awesome, I can't think of one con. In the 10+ years I have used Doodle they have done so many updates and I'm always excited to see what's new and improved. Review Source KK Kunal K. Self employer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "OLDER VERSION VERY VERY GREAT NEWER is HORRIBLE" August 19, 2022 4.0 I used doodle for over a year now, at first its older format was so very easy and perfect, I just loved it. But after the updates this new format is so very confusing, high cost and very dismal performance. PLEASE GO BACK TO OLD FORMAT. Pros GOOD PRICE FOR MANY SERVICES So very simple and intuitive. Excellent quick to setup. Cons Impossible to see all contacts under one screen. Super confusing HIGH PRICE FOR LOW SERVICE Review Source HH Heejin H. associate Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not as good as it used to be!" February 11, 2024 5.0 Pros Doodle makes scheduling meetings with large groups and 1:1 appointments easy. It was the first group scheduling software I ever used and is still very popular and familiar with most folks. Cons Google calendar has really stepped up its game and enabled booking features that make it easy to set up group meetings and bookings. So for those who already use Google suite, it negates the need for using yet another 3rd party app like Doodle. Also while Doodle is great, sometimes it's better to use when2meet, which allows you to enter your availability by highlighting a calendar, thus negating the need to select specific blocks of times and casting a wider net of availability. Lastly, Doodle changed some of its features (eg limited the number of people who can sign up for a slot) or moved them to a paid plan that really restricted the range of its functions.

Buen sistema de notificaciones Cons Le falta bastante para llegar al nivel de integración de herramientas que tiene Office con Outlook y Teams Review Source IE Irma E. Assistant Managment Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Doodle review" November 4, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Doodle has been fantastic I like how easy and stress free is to be able to arrange a meeting with several coworkers, and to even organize events inside the workspace. You can even start arranging schedules for you and others Pros What I like most about Doodle is how easy to create a list of options of dates and meetings and send it to several colleagues which lets them vote for what is the best time for them Cons There is nothing I dislike about the app for now it has literally save me a lot of time and stress since we started using it Reason for choosing Doodle It is a free product that gives you a lot of beneficial tools Review Source CR Catriona R. Managing Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's the only free option out there, but it's so difficult to use, still may not be worth it " October 4, 2023 2.0 I still use it to plan multistakeholder meetings, but never find the experience smooth or feel confident that all the details are correct in the polls. Pros It's a unique program to get input from stakeholders for meeting preferences. It's much more streamlined than email at finding a common preferred appointment time for a large group. Cons The setup is not intuitive and it's easy to make important mistakes, like not having it toggled to the correct time zone, if you aren't careful. Review Source WZ Wendy Z. Fellow Physician Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly, simple and very convenient to use!! " December 2, 2021 5.0 The ease of scheduling meetings with this program makes things so much smoother!! Pros Really enjoy using doodle to create schedules, especially amongst a large group of people when coordinating the right date and time is hard. This is very straightforward to use and is very commonly used at my work place. It is customizable and the interface is very simple and easy to navigate around. Definitely recommend it for scheduling meetings!! Cons Honestly, I wouldn’t say there is anything I would change. I love how mobile accessibility is great as I often do things on my phone on the go. Review Source RH Ross H. Graduate Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Doodle grows better and better" May 9, 2021 5.0 I've been using Doodle for a long time now and it quickly moved from an interesting little tool, to being my staple meeting organiser. I love the other features (particularly polling) but I particularly appreciate that while it grows in functionality, those functions don't yet feel like bloat. It's also pretty telling that colleagues will often immediately start using it after they become aware of it. Strangely undermarketed perhaps? Pros The best part about Doodle is that it is one of those products that is incredibly simple as a concept, yet somehow they continue to refine the idea and add features that I didn't realise I needed until they're available. Just the ability to add "yes but I'd prefer not to" availability responses is fantastic. From the organising side of things I love that you get this simple visual representation of availability and of course that you are given the optimal times for the group. Cons There's not a lot that is bad about doodle but the UI is a bit of an eyesore and in the free version the advertisement placement can be deceiving, to the point where responders may miss options in the poll. I guess it is genuinely frustrating that more people aren't using it too. Review Source IO India O. Adjunct Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy When Colleagues use Doodle" December 16, 2018 5.0 Pros Doodle is a great tool to easily evaluate availability and schedule meetings for large, busy groups. The ability to customize times and the intuition built into Doodle-if I schedule a request for three hours then three hours translates to every subsequent date I select, makes this a great tool. Each invitee can see the response of others which can lend to being more flexible in your choices, and enhances getting a group to consensus on a date and time to meet. You can be proficient at using Doodle in a matter or minutes, both as a user and as an administrator. I love this product so much that I use it in business and also in setting up family events. There are three plans available, and if you are a casual user the free version should serve you well. Cons Plans are priced well, and the ability to remove ads and enhance communication with the premier version is very nice. A con of the free version is the weird ads you see running in the back ground as you are using the tool. However, not bothersome enough to change my favorable opinion of this great scheduling tool. Review Source MB Michael B. Assistant Teaching Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and effective scheduling device. " June 17, 2022 4.0 Overall, for its use as a scheduling and appointment creating platform, Doodle has served us well and met our needs. Pros Doodle, in my opinion, remains one of the easiest scheduling and appointment manager platforms out there. Free option still provides basic instruments to schedule meetings and appointments with multiple parties. Very short learning curve makes it easy to integrate, even if one is unfamiliar with it. Simple interface. Cons It would certainly be nice to have more options in the free version, but this isn't a huge complaint. One can still meet effective scheduling/polling needs through this version. Review Source Lauren L. Creative Coordinator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Doodle fixes my major scheduling headaches" November 21, 2018 5.0 My overall experience has been excellent. Even the people that I send scheduling requests to are so impressed by it that they start using it too. Doodle is definitely one of those apps that I'm always telling others about to make their lives easier. Pros I'm still blown away by this software and so happy that I discovered it. My biggest headache when scheduling meetings, lunches, dinners, etc. is everyone's super busy schedule. With Doodle, all I have to do is send out date and time options and get everyone's availability. I love that it's a visual chart, so that I can easily see which date/time has the most people available, and then boom we have a meeting scheduled. No more, "Ok, Jan can make it Tuesday what about Thursday?" then another "Mike can't make it at 8:00am what about 7pm?" I just send out a Doodle calendar and I'm done! Cons There isn't anything that I don't like about Doodle. I think it's the best scheduling app out there. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Scientist Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Doodle polls to arrange remote group meetings" November 22, 2018 5.0 I am the Principal Investigator of a NIH funded study that aims to test the efficacy of digital platforms in providing mental health services to people with serious mental illness. We use Doodle to engage participants in finding a time that works for all of them to deliver remote group therapy through videoconferencing. Participants are extremely responsive in terms of filling out Doodle pools, and they visibly prefer it over calls or emails. Doodle has made scheduling group meetings much easier for us! will continue to use it in our future studies! Pros the software is widely known, end-users are familiar with its interface, filling out polls is fast and efficient Cons I'd like to see an integration with Google Calendar, in the future, as it would accelerate the translation from a shared plan to a scheduled event Review Source NK Navdeep K. Insurance Advisor Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Product Review" March 19, 2023 5.0 Pros Meeting scheduling, ease of use, accessibility from home easy and convenient Cons I don't come across any cons for this software till now. Review Source EA Eric A. Freelancer Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effectively Plan your Meeting Events with Doodle!" March 13, 2022 4.0 Doodle is a good scheduling program in general. It's useful if you're trying to schedule a meeting with people who are in various time zones. It has completely transformed the way we organize our meetings and programming. It's quite simple to use, and I would strongly recommend it to others. Pros Doodle is a very user-friendly program. Simply add the event's name, location, and times, and invite people to register. . I appreciate being able to send out a link and schedule a large group of individuals. Even our non-technical employees can use the software because of its simplicity. The option to collaborate with others to find their availability is a wonderful aspect of Doodle. Doodle makes it very easy and fast to select a time and day that works best for everyone, especially given the busy schedules of the participants. Cons The system is nearly flawless. It performs its role admirably, and I don't believe it needs to be unduly convoluted. It would be wonderful if meeting information such as zoom links could be added, and the calendar invitation could be sent whenever consensus was reached. One thing I've seen (and think should be improved) is that when individuals without a doodle account vote on something, it's easy for others to edit it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Psychologist Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for scheduling" December 12, 2019 5.0 Makes it much easier to arrive at a consensus when multiple people and schedules are involved. It's a great tool schedule meetings and plan trips/parties. Pros Trying to schedule meetings and parties with a lot of people can be difficult. Doodle makes it easy for everyone to vote on their preferred dates and times to find a date that works for the majority of people. It collects everyone's response and and updated in real time so when another user goes on to vote, they can see what others have voted for. This makes it way more useful than trying to decide on a date through email as when people reply they don't necessarily reply to the most recent threat and it causes a lot of confusion. The original sender also gets email updates when someone votes so they do not need to check every hour to see if someone has voted. Cons Functionally, it works really well. This is just nit picking, but it would be nice if you could customize the poll more (i.e., colors, design, etc.) to make it more appealing-looking. It serves its purpose but it is a very basic design. Review Source TB Teresa B. HR Manager Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Doodle!" December 14, 2022 5.0 The time Doodle has saved me in going back and forth requesting meeting times is so worth it! Pros Doodle gives me the ability to invite people to choose meeting times and dates that work for them and then find what is convenient for the most people possible. Cons I have not found anything yet that I don't like about Doodle! People find it easy to navigate and use. Review Source Kelly R. Owner/Operator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing for group scheduling and availability" January 13, 2023 5.0 Pros I love how people can go in and add in the times they are available. Then the organizer just picks the most popular time. It is so easy to use. Cons I really can't say that there are any cons. What they do, they do well. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Innovative Calendar" March 21, 2020 5.0 I'm a big fan of Doodle and while it isn't perfect it does the trick and makes meetings more efficient. Pros I love how versatile Doodle is. I am able to use it on my phone, computer, laptop, and more in a matter of minutes. You can text, email, and share links to a Doodle calendar and it requires no login. Really a great simple interface for quick arranging for meetings and events. I love using Doodle and it speeds up the email exchanges finding free time. Cons The software is a bit primitive and that is also its downfall. The simplicity can make it tough to change answers when the software doesn't recognize you as the one who inputted calendar updates previously.
