Contact Doodle Support

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.

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 upgraded to premium for myself and a colleague thinking it would be better than the free version. It’s not. I can’t see my current polls on laptop or iPhone app and can’t get rid of one from 2 months ago. Contacted support and all they could say was to clear the cache, which I did 10 times and it did nothing. So zero for doodle. I’ll still use it for responding to polls but I am forced to let the 1 year subscription run out because you guessed it no live support and I’m not going down the messaging hole to be more frustrated. Save your money don’t get premium.
