Adequate for Scheduling Meetings
We use it for group polls to find meeting times for groups of people ranging from 3 to 25. It helps us easily find a time that works for multiple people instead of sorting through individual email responses.
- predicting the times you want to make available
- providing a link that can be easily copied
- Sometimes the newly updated feature of clicking time selections can be a bit clunky. I am not always able to click the correct time at first.

Doodle is so user-friendly
We are using Doodle in our leadership development program to help us make our training more engaging and accessible to remote locations. Our intention is to then use it as a training tool for use with on the job skill training and possibly utilize it in our onboarding process. I just purchased Doodle and have only created one training video with it so far but it was very user friendly. Because of the ease of use I can see how it will be beneficial for many training needs.
- Provides opportunity for quick e-learning videos to be uploaded for easy access.
- Provides you with great selection of backgrounds, characters and props.
- Ease of use is truly an asset of this program
- I wish that it offered more options in backgrounds, characters and props without having an additional cost, but that is to be expected.
- I would like an easier way to add my own fonts, characters , props etc, because I am a new learner this may not be an issue as I get more familiar with the software.
- I don't like all the sales emails I received trying to upgrade or add to my purchase.

Doodle Poll helps me acheive scheduling magic!
I use Doodle to book appointments and meetings with my clients and other members of the organization. We use it across the organization and spread the word about Doodle by sending meeting invites and availability polls to outside clients. This addresses the problem of planning meetings and appointments with large groups
- Doodle allows you to sync Google Calendars with the availability options view to compare your availability with the times chosen.
- I like that you can limit the number of votes per user so that if it's appointment booking, it's first come first served.
- If I don't have contact information, I can ask for that in the poll with a premium. So great!
- I would appreciate a more intuitive add-on within Google Calendar so we can schedule meetings directly in there.
- I think missing functionality might be adding sliders, photos, and colors to the polls to make it look really beautiful.
- I find the options on the poll settings are a bit confusing. It could be elaborated on more or have tooltips to explain the options better.

Doodle Makes Scheduling Slightly Less Painful
People in my organization use Doodle on a case-by-case basis, usually when scheduling many people on committee work. Not everyone uses it, but certain departments - like IT - use it more than others. It saves time by picking out the best date for many people to get together, rather than exchanging email after email or finding a time for a call.
- Ease of use.
- No sign up required for poll takers.
- Fast set up.
- Doesn't handle frames of time as well specific times and dates (e.g. "Which general days of the weeks work best?" is not a Doodle friendly question).
- Editing time blocks can be a bit clunky.

Do A Little With Doodle
We are currently using Doodle in two different ways within our company. The first way in which it is being used is the way in which it is intended to be used and it is in that way it has probably been the most efficient and helpful to our company. We can send out a list of dates and/or times to a group of people and have them choose which one(s) would be the best for them to meet. When all votes have been cast, Doodle provides the best choice which allows the most people to attend on that day and/or time. Our company has also used it in its unintended form by doing the opposite and having people pick a day/time that no one else has signed up for. Since it is not what the program was intended to do, it is not as foolproof. However, it does work in a pinch and with small groups who can follow instructions.
- Let's you customize your dates/times and/or other choices for your poll
- Provides you options if you want to give your constituents the ability to view others votes or only their own as well as the ability to vote once or more than once.
- You are able to send the invite to them via their e-mail.
- There is both a free version and a premium version. The free version is able to do most everything; however, the premium version gives the option to see who opened your invites, when they opened them, created events in your calendar, ask for more information, and have no ads.
- The free version is fairly simple and does contain a lot of ads
- Features a variety of languages; however, most of them are European in origin
We use Doodle to eliminate the back and forth when trying to find a time that works best for two parties trying to schedule a meeting. Doodle makes this process very seamless in a way that works well for the way we specifically schedule meetings. It saves back and forth time as well as saves important meetings from falling through the cracks by eliminating email exchanges where either party may lose the email getting buried in their inbox.
- Doodle approaches this problem different than most other scheduling platforms I've looked at (and I've looked at most of them). Doodle allows the person who is making their calendar available for scheduling to make the final decision on the meeting in contrast to other platforms that typically do it the other way around. Both can be beneficial depending on preference
- I love that Doodle allows for proposing multiple times, which is a feature I've yet to find on other scheduling platforms (and I've looked at/tried a lot of them)
- Doodle makes the scheduling process very simple even for someone who's never used it before
- To my knowledge, there is no ability to allow the user to directly schedule a time. Would be nice if it were flexible both ways but I've come to realize that I just have to use different services depending on how it matches my workflow
- The design isn't terrible but most scheduling software has much better design
- It's generally simple but there have been times where the UX has been a bit confusing and I didn't really know what was going on
