Doodle Reviews
We have 10 reviews for Doodle. The average overall ratings is 1.7 / 5 stars.
Overall Opinion: I agree with the above user. In addition, they stopped allowing the scheduler to see the list of names of those invited. So you can't even tell if the email went through. Which means adding a step of follow-up to those you can't see (if it's more than yourself and 3 others! Why bother? NOT helpful. Boooo-dle Doodle!
Pros: -
Cons: -
Overall Opinion: Absolute horrible app, it used to be good, but now instead of being able to setup a poll or survey to figure out who can make it on a certain date, it does not allow one to do that because of all the ads that are displayed during the steps. So one can not finish the setup, just useless, hate it!!!!!

Cons: -
Overall Opinion: TERRIBLE. I've been using it to schedule meetings but suddenly I have to buy Premium ($49/year) to schedule a meeting.
Pros: -
Cons: -
Overall Opinion: Horrible software which has become confusing and now showing all kind of advertising. Will switch to another program asap.
Pros: -
Cons: -
Overall Opinion: Doodle premium is a terrible program. Extremely unintuitive, tech support is run by one guy called "Pedro" who sends out prewritten answers to questions, only one at a time and usually does not address the problem that is being presented. It's been a huge hassle changing the admin and updating to premium and carrying the previous poll forward. Tech support is virtually non-existent and only by email and you know what a hassle that can be. So far as my experience doodle is a not worth the premium cost.

Overall Opinion: Was a great little app but now worse than useless, total waste of time and keeps directing the user to their 'premium' subscription product. As if!!!

Overall Opinion: What a piece of Doodle! At the end of my poll after I send it, it spins and spins and finally it tells me "Could not connect to the reCAPTCHA service. Please check your internet connection and reload to get a reCAPTCHA challenge." I have a connection! The other thing that I found extremely irritating is the ads. I don't mind ads per se, except that in Doodle, when you are designing your poll, the text boxes where you are typing in the required information jump all over the place to re position new ads! Since the darn poll never successfully sent, if I could give it a zero I would.

Overall Opinion: There aren't many tools that are as straightforward and easy as Doodle. It will easily help boost the productivity of any group since it cuts down on unnecessary back and forth emails by providing a way to schedule meetings that will easily fit into any existing schedule. The basic idea behind the software is that everyone involved in a group loads their schedule into the Doodle platform. The software will overlay all those schedules and provide everyone with a list of days and times that everyone in the group could meet. Most users will be fine with the free version since it includes just about every function you might need. Polls can be created in the app so users can express their opinions about a specific date or time for a meeting, and you can actively edit polls at any time as the results come in. Poll creation is unlimited in the free version. The free account includes another interesting feature known as MeetMe. With this feature, people can see your schedule online and request specific times to meet with you based on your free blocks of time. You can receive any number of requests, and you can accept the ones that best fit with your schedule. The free version is supported by ads, but that is a negligible cost. The first paid tier of the software is known as the Private account, and it comes at a cost of $39 per year per user. With this purchase, the software no longer contains ads, and it includes a few extra functions that aren't included in the free version. It also includes SSL encryption for all Private account activity. If you have a team of several people that need access to the software together, there are business accounts that come bundled with utility for a certain number of users at a set price. For instance, a team of ten can use the software for $299 per year. Business accounts include everything that comes with the Private accounts, and they also include custom designs and domains. You can start scheduling events right away when you sign up for a free Doodle account. It doesn't matter if you want to use the software for business purposes or simply to schedule a dinner with family or friends. Doodle will be able to handle the scheduling process with ease. It takes less than one minute to create a poll associated with the event so you can gauge the best time and day. Users won't have to sign up with Doodle to respond to the poll, and they can even leave comments to help streamline communication even further. Doodle is an excellent scheduling app.
Pros: Highly Intuitive Imports Current Calendar
Cons: Confusing Time Zone Settings
