User Reviews for Doodle: Easy Scheduling

Credit for trying: it’s not you it’s me

I was assuming that you knew you sucked, but then I read your reviews and I was like, what?! Oh. I get it. I’m just the dummy that can’t make heads or tails of your app. I mean, I booked a date, shared the deets with my fam and um… couldn’t even click on which dates were best for me? Couldn’t edit the deets on the invite? Couldn’t even *see* the responses? Um hallo? This is an app for people who don’t care if anything gets scheduled, they just want credit for trying. Update: not a single date that I had identified is represented on my link. It’s random and completely unassigned to my requests. Update: my people have been responding to ghost dates that I never requested, this app has actually put me back a decade or two. Paper would have been better. My parents could have arranged this more efficiently. Maybe even my parents’ parents and theirs beforehand. Sheesh.Update: every time I access I have to login one more time than the last? Red flag.

Trouble with e-mail

Problem: after I set up the poll information (using a previous poll with attendees included), Doodle gives me the message that it is unable to complete the task and to “come back later” or some such. However, if I go immediately to my e-mail, there is the notification. The first time this happened, I kept trying to set up new polls, getting the same message every time. Imagine the consternation among 12 avid Mah Jongg players to find several of the same message in their inbox. Please help keep the tiles clicking, and me as facilitator! (Oh, wait, maybe I should just get fired and let someone else handle this....)

Loss of functionality

I’ve not used Doodle for at least a few months, so the new app icon was unfamiliar. Unfortunately, the new (absence of) functionality was, too. I could not create a poll in the iOS app but accepted its suggestion to open the webpage (so it knows it can’t). There, I could create a poll but could not resize the time slots. Awkwardly, I could grab them and make the fixed duration earlier or later, or even move the day. But I needed a longer time slot. Undaunted, I kept practicing with short taps, long pushes, touching just the = at the bottom, and deleting with the X corner of the event. Frustrated, I booted my laptop and completely recreated the event, since I did not save it with the wrong time slots on my iPhone. Finally, that worked! However, checking status of who has favored which days does NOT work on my iPhone. Only the first 3 of 6 days offered shows on my screen and scrolling right does not work.The iOS app seems a placeholder, which is odd in 2022. I get it in the first year of iPhones that app developers were still figuring out how to port to smartphones. But that ship has sailed. If Doodle comes clean and says, “We do not support iOS, please use a laptop” that would be efficient and I’d find an alternative scheduler. Please, Doodle, tell me if you’re returning to the iPhone!

Completely Unusable As of Now

I used Doodle a number of years back as a way to build schedules out of peoples’ availability. I recently decided to begin using it again for a different job, but upon downloading the app, it is COMPLETELY unusable. When you open it, it just sits on the open/loading screen, and doesn’t enter the app. I have tried this multiple times, as well as having others try it, and they all have the same issue. To my understanding, the website is functioning fine, but the main appeal is that people can access it quickly on their phones.One star until this problem is fixed.

Amazing but...

Synchronization is key. The Desktop and mobile are not connecting, it feels like I’m working in two different accounts. My mobile app does not let me view the booking calendar. IOS does not sync with the desktop. However, the mobile syncs with many calendars. It would make sense for at least the calendars to sync with the desktop. That way if I book on the desktop it will have all my events. Doodle has been my go to app for all scheduling and it seems like I will have to look for an alternative.

From Great to Garbage

This app used to be my go-to for scheduling on the iPad, iPhone or Mac. Over the years they have gradually made it less fun and more sterile/corporate, and recently Doodle pushed out an update that totally destroyed the UI and made Doodle an exercise is frustration. Problems: (1) The app doesn’t allow you to schedule group meetings in it anymore!(???). This was the main feature before… but now it just opens a webpage in Safari. What!?!? If it’s just going to do that then why even bother with the app at all? (2) Formerly freemium features are now behind an invisible paywall that keep prompting you to upgrade to pay every time you click. Ironically, I *used* to pay for Doodle, but given this really irritating new interface I wouldn’t recommend paying them. (3) It won’t connect or login over VPNs meaning there are times you can’t get on it at all (coffee shops, etc). (4) If you have a content blocker enabled you will have to disable it for this site, but the issue is that the web UI without content blocking is a nightmare of flashing ads and pop up’s. Overall, I hate Doodle now. Hopefully your mileage will vary.

I recently updated doodle and now it doesnt work

I used doodle weekly for the last year it was great for organizing 60-70 ppl and letting them know about a weekly practice group. It helped me keep in touch about time, location and dates. Everyone participated when and if they could by signing up or declining each week. I am very dependent on the app to bring ease to organizing my practice group. Recently though about the same time I updated the app It has become inaccessible due to an “SSL error and no secure connection to the server” and I am no longer able to connect to doodle. I am not even able to contact their support link. I was surprised when this review let me express my situation. I am at a loss as to how to contact them or repair the situation and restore this great tool to my daily toolbox.

Please give us the old Doodle

I have used this app for several years for scheduling Pickleball. The chart was easy to see the full schedule and people could look at it and determine how many players we had for specific days. As the administrator, when I schedule the dates it automatically counts me as available for all the dates. That is just ridiculous. Just because I’m scheduling it does not always mean that I am available. Plus it now hides my response. It is also requiring people to put an email addresses before being able to connect to the poll. We didn’t have to do this before. No one in my group of 20 is happy with the changes. It has become much more cumbersome. Seems to have gone backwards rather than improved. Please give us the old doodle back. Or maybe give an option to choose which one to use.

New Update is way less user friendly

I absolutely loved Doodle. I use it for scheduling date nights, weekend getaways, board meetings, and play dates. Unfortunately, the new update has made it very frustrating. It’s not nearly as user friendly and more complex to understand. It was seamless before so I really hope you’ll convert back to the old way. If you did, I’d be giving you a 5 star review. I have always shared how great this app is with family and friends but I don’t feel good about doing that at this time.

I used to really like it

I have used the Doodle app for a while and loved how easy it made it to schedule time slots with friends. It was optimized for mobile, allowed me to see my calendar, and schedule with friends through text. Simple, clean, easy.Unfortunately, I logged in today and everything is updated. I have to go to a web browser to do the time poll and it’s really hard to see the days and times and my calendar. I can barely click to create a time slot and I can’t drag it around to update the times, etc. it is now difficult to use for the one task it was really good at before. Just sharing my frustration so you know how great it was and why I deleted the app.
