    Good but can be improved

    Pros

    It shows people's schedule in real time of when to schedule a meeting

    Cons

    Syncing features usually do not work because many colleagues are outside of your organization

    doodle used for tutoring meeting

    Reviewed on 2024/10/25

    Really happy with this application and would continue using it to setup my meetings.

    Really happy with this application and would continue using it to setup my meetings.

    Pros

    Doodle is a great platform where I setup my meetings with the students. I really like and appreciate the simple but robust platform it provides to schedule and pole meetings. The feature to sync my work calendar (Outlook) is also really helpful.

    Cons

    The advertisement to the side of doodle poll or calendar is not very professional. I understand and can expect these advert for the free version.
    One more thing, the sync feature of doodle with my Outlook calendar is slighliy weird. I also use doodle to setup a meeting call with my tutees via sharing my calendar. The tutees can find the suitable slot and book a time with me for a tutoring meeting. This is great as far. However if I make any changes to my work calendar, or some students cancel their meeting request, this does not turely synchronise with the doodle calendar.
    So I believe the interfacing between doodle and outlook calendar needs to be improved.

    A Once Wonderful Product...On The Decline

    Doodle used to be the standard for scheduling meetings and for good reason - the tool was easy to use.

    However, the past few years, Doodle has really gone down hill.

    Part of this isn't their fault: Calendly and other scheduling tools gained popularity and were more convenient for people to use.

    Part of this is their fault:
    - Their redesign was a big step backwards
    - Their user interface is now worse and harder to use
    - The free version is virtually pointless

    With all of that said, if you do pay for Doodle then the product is a decent tool. Is it better than Calendly and other tools? It depends on your use. But, if you are looking to just use the free version, I would steer you in a different direction.

    Hopefully Doodle will fix their issues and get back to being an extremely useful tool.

    Pros

    Subscription price isn't very expensive

    Cons

    User interface is lacking
    Free version is useless

    I love the features Doodle offers. It saves lots of time and energy, when trying to figure out meeting times.

    Pros

    Doodle is a great platform for companies that have meetings with outside shareholders. Scheduling meetings to fit into everyone’s schedule is hard, and doodle eliminates the need for the back and forth conversation to pick a date and time that works for most.

    It is easy to set up a poll, input meeting times that are available, and have desired attendees vote. This makes for a faster and more productive way to host meetings.

    Cons

    I currently do not have any negatively to say about Doodle. For the uses we use, the platform works very efficiently.

    It made personal conversations much easier for me through video calls that are fast and without having to travel to places

    Pros

    I use it to organize meetings with clients or coworkers. I can schedule them in advance to have an organized agenda and when the day comes, Doodle notifies me with notifications which meetings are for that day and the time of each one. I have found it to be a useful tool in which I can trust my entire meeting agenda without forgetting any and have a good conversation without interruptions

    Cons

    I use the basic tools and they have always worked correctly for me without any failures or system crashes
