### 2/5 — What happened to usability?

*2025-04-29, version 5.0.23*

Used to love this app. Great for scheduling get togethers. But now when I’m trying to create a group poll, I get all the way to the end before it just spins forever after hitting ‘create’.

### 3/5 — Workable but not great

*2025-02-05, version 5.0.23*

Can’t select UTC in app. You can on the website but it crashed on my phone.  Don’t want to try again. Probably fine for small local groups or on desktop.

### 2/5 — Connection en ligne impossible sur iPhone

*2024-12-17, version 5.0.23*

Pourquoi l’écran web est-il inadapté pour l’écran d’un iPhone ? Ça m’empêche de me servir de mon App.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, awful software

*2024-09-12, version 5.0.23*

Was just trying to make a simple poll to see when a groups of my friends was free to meet. I tried multiple times. I tried the app and tried in internet browser. After hitting create in the app it froze in an infinite loading screen every time. In the internet browser it wouldn’t let me add multiple time options for the same day (the button to do so didn’t do anything) defeating the point of even using the software. Would be a great tool if it worked, but it doesn’t.

### 1/5 — Not able to create poll

*2024-08-15, version 5.0.23*

App gets stuck on creation screen

### 1/5 — It Doesn’t Work At All

*2024-07-14, version 5.0.23*

This app just does not work. Take it out of the App Store to avoid wasting everyone’s time and energy setting it all up only to have it be completely useless!

### 1/5 — Newest version is super buggy

*2024-07-12*

I’ve used Doodle dozens of times over the years and the latest version is completely useless. First off, the first thing you see when you click on a link is an advertisement that looks like the doodle poll link and so any of your recipients are going to be super confused by clicking on this ad! Not to mention the user interface for filling out poll information is complete garbage. I had to enter available dates no less than six times before it finally stopped resetting my options. I guess I just have to find some other app. Good luck!

Update July 2024:
Still terribly formatted for use on mobile devices. 
So bummed…

### 3/5 — Used to Love this App

*2024-06-18, version 5.0.23*

To me it’s gotten more complicated and less efficient. 

I had to manually scroll through to set the time for each offering and I had 16 altogether. The time defaults to whatever time it is now not :00. And when I tested the poll, I really couldn’t see the list as a whole, just one at a time. And it didn’t connect to my calendar. 

Not sure what happened, Doodle. 
Please go back to the simplicity of the past. 
You had a great product as it was. 

With love and respect…

### 3/5 — Practical jokers on the dev team.

*2024-06-08, version 5.0.23*

The app has you choose times, then the time zone, but offsets all the times you choose based on that time zone in relation to Eastern Time. So I always have to go change every time individually. And this is not new.

### 1/5 — Poorly designed interface and BROKEN

*2024-06-07, version 5.0.23*

Can’t get it to create a poll, and this after literal hours trying to use their horrendous UI to make the poll. Once it gets to the create screen the spinning wheel never stops spinning and the poll never gets created. Utterly useless and I paid for the premium features as well. Will be requesting my money back.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t get past sign up screen

*2024-03-07, version 5.0.23*

Unfortunately my review is only based on the login screen because I couldn’t get past it. I tried signing up with google, Facebook and Apple. I “confirmed” my email account 4 different times and it still kept throwing me in circles, every single time asking me to verify my email but not letting me in. After an hour I gave up, so ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Shockingly bad

*2024-02-10, version 5.0.23*

Clunky, bad UI, slow process for to set things up. In all a terrible user experience.

### 1/5 — Less user friendly application ever

*2024-02-09, version 5.0.23*

Every thing is manual, scheduling is a nightmare to set many days and many time slots. If you go to another application for one second, it will log you out and you loose all what you created so far.

### 2/5 — Leaves something to be desired

*2023-10-31, version 5.0.22*

this app turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. I used it to try try to get a few old men together for drinks. Not everyone could figure it out. I would’ve liked to have known the names of the individuals who were voting for various dates and the app does not give you that information. I found the app not-that-intuitive for navigating or maybe I’m just an old man.

### 1/5 — Continue to not get it

*2023-10-23, version 5.0.22*

Doodle was a great app 5 years ago.  Then they tried to ‘improve’ it and utterly destroyed everything that was good about the app.  Ever since, the app has been awful.  Go back to the original app from 5 years ago and be done with it.  Or, explain why that is not possible.

### 1/5 — Awful performance

*2023-10-15, version 5.0.22*

Just lost all my votes after changing a detail. Great job!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-09-20, version 5.0.22*

Bring the older version back!

### 1/5 — Worse than before

*2023-09-15, version 5.0.22*

Invitees to an event are pushed to sign up rather than just vote. It’s hacking people off. WhatsApp has a simple Poll function now. Get with it. Won’t use again after this occasion.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-08-29, version 5.0.21*

This premise in theory is wonderful, but has truly the most heinous and glitchy OS for something that’s crawled out of the App Store.

I’ve made numerous attempts to open the app, log in, create an event, adjust settings, find old events, etc, etc that all have broken the app or sent me reeling in anger to have to start over again.

Just use something else, this is not worth the headache.

### 1/5 — DO NOT INSTALL - RATING IS FOR OLD APP

*2023-08-09, version 5.0.21*

When this app was updated last year, Doodle ceased to exist. It’s now completely unusable. Please do not be fooled by the thousands of reviews entered for this app before their update that are causing the app to still have a 5-star rating. Sort by most recent reviews to see that everyone else is saying the same thing. It’s complete garbage now. There are many other good polling apps out there.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Oof

*2025-05-08, version 5.0.23*

Could be super useful, but is slow and won’t allow me to save. It’s been loading for about 30 minutes. I had to exit out of the app and start over, and it still wouldn’t save.

### 1/5 — Does not work on my iPhone

*2025-04-28, version 5.0.23*

I go through all the steps of creating my doodle poll, and when I click create the time table start spinning and just freezes.  I was able to create a poll on the browser.  But prefer to have app functionality.

### 1/5 — Slow and Unreliable

*2025-03-18, version 5.0.23*

I need this app to work well, it shouldnt take 30 minutes to load basic booking information

### 1/5 — Freezing, No Use

*2025-03-07, version 5.0.23*

I used this website years ago and worked great, not sure what happened but this is terrible and can’t even set up a simple meeting schedule

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-26, version 5.0.23*

Screen gets stuck when filling in details to create a poll. Attempted 3 times with no success, so abandoned mission and deleted app.

### 1/5 — Just Doesn’t Work

*2025-01-20, version 5.0.23*

The app just doesn’t work. You create a group poll, and right at the end it throws a damn error ))

Приложение тупо не работает. Делаешь групповой пул, в самом конце выдает сука ошибку ))

### 1/5 — Ugh!

*2024-12-19, version 5.0.23*

The app shows me polls that are not mine from YEARS ago, but doesn’t sync with my new polls in my account created on the web. Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Couldn’t create an account

*2024-11-27, version 5.0.23*

I was never able to use the app because I never received the email confirmation. I requested that it be resent and still didn’t receive it, so I gave up. Maybe I’ll have better luck with a different app.

### 1/5 — Could there be a worse app?

*2024-10-07, version 5.0.23*

Search buttons that don’t search. Page indicators that don’t allow swiping between pages. Text boxes that don’t auto-center in your view when you enter them so you can’t see what you’re typing as you type. It’s like the app was created by someone who had only ever taken a two week night class in beginner coding at the library. Don’t get me wrong, library classes are great. But they are for hobbyists, not professionals.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-09-25, version 5.0.23*

Wish they would remove this from the App Store if it is no longer supported

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Was a great app until the latest update!

*2022-03-10, version 5.0.0*

As of the latest update that happened March 09, the app no longer works as an app. When you click the icon, it takes you to the desk top version which is not efficiently compatible with an iPhone. Please fix this glitch ASAP and get the app working as it did in the past.

### 5/5 — time saver!

*2021-02-09, version 4.19*

this is a great app for planning meetings,get to togethers or any event that requires finding a mutaually agreeable time. Highly reccommended.

### 5/5 — Everyone’s Doodle

*2019-03-03, version 4.17*

Ive been using Doodle in both my professional and personal life for several years. It’s simple and easy to use. I like that respondents do NOT have to subscribe for a membership or share personal information. That way, everyone can enjoy the benefits of scheduling LIFE.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing!

*2018-11-27, version 4.17*

This app is just what I was looking for when trying to get meetings planned for group projects in college or just getting friends together for lunch. With people all having different schedules these days, doodle makes it so much easier to see when everyone can meet up.

### 5/5 — Simplicité et efficacité

*2018-10-11, version 4.17*

Dans un mode où chaque application devient de plus en plus complexe bien souvent pour rien en voici j’en qui fonctionne super bien.
Rapide efficace et simple d’utilisation
Merci

### 5/5 — Great for organizing events

*2018-04-29, version 4.15.2*

If you’re planning a trip or event for a group of people this is a great way to get quick feedback to aid in the planning.

### 5/5 — Great app but current difficulties

*2017-12-09, version 4.13.1*

Absolutely love this app! It’s great for scheduling get together with group of people. But currently my app keeps freezing when I get to the date selection page. It lets me choose one date and then freezes up. Please fix!

### 5/5 — I recently updated doodle and now it doesnt work

*2017-11-22*

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.

### 5/5 — Doodle and Done!

*2017-11-20, version 4.12*

Saves time and saves my sanity...one Doodle, pick your availability, confirm and done!!!

It can be quite confusing and annoying with folks sending a gazillion emails, filling up my inbox back and forth and forth and back, trying to “decide” on the best date and time to meet!!!

### 5/5 — Great App Platform

*2017-11-14, version 4.11.2*

Easy to use. I run a school and am a project manager for a nonprofit so coordinating times for team meetings all can agree to  is particularly essential to getting things done in our line of work. The text option is fantastic to help facilitate quicker responses rather than waiting for people to check their email and complete the poll from the link provided there. I enjoy it!!
