“Quick setup but too many ads!!

Pros

It is very quick and easy to set up and honestly it saves me so much time. We currently use the free version and it works perfectly for what we need but i have noticed the paid version offers a lot of additional features that look really useful if someone needs more advanced functionality.

Cons

The ads� oh my God.. the ads. Since i am using the free version, they pop up everywhere and sometimes completely cover the page. Honestly it can get really distracting when i am just trying to schedule something quickly.

“Simple polls but distracting ads

Pros

I really like how simple it is to create a poll and share the link with my friends or team members so they can vote. The whole process is very easy and fuss-free which makes people more willing to respond instead of ignoring the request.

Cons

i have noticed that the website shows quite a few ads which can be a little distracting while using it. In my experience it works best for simple polls and basic scheduling but it's not really built for anything too advanced or fancy.

“Great scheduling polls with ad clutter

Pros

one thing I truly appreciate is the option to create polls and easily review voting results. The scheduling poll feature is especially helpful because it removes all the usual back-and-forth messages when everyone is trying to figure out what time works best.

Cons

If I had to point out a downside, it would probably be the ads. But since i am using the free version, I guess thats expected. Also integrating it with other tools sometimes feels clunky and not as smooth as I'd like.

“free plan limits

Pros

i enjoy how easy it makes scheduling appointments with coworkers and clients. the process is smooth and organized and it saves a lot of time compared to the usual email exchanges.

Cons

After switching to the free version, I started noticing the ads a lot more and the limited features can be frustrating. Since we were not using the platform as often as we expected, the free version feels restricted compared to what we had before.

“accessible and frictionless with calendar sync

Pros

For me this is one of the most accessible and frictionless tools for managing appointments. It works really well because it automatically syncs with widely used calendar systems which makes keeping track of schedules much easier.

Cons

one thing that confuses me is the "if necessary" option. It's not very interactive and I usually have to click through a few steps before I can actually select it.

“Flexible poll scheduling for groups

Pros

I like that I can add many different date and time options so everyone can choose something that works for them. It saves a lot of effort since I don't have to deal with endless email chains while trying to arrange a meeting for a large group.

Cons

honestly, I have not come across any real downsides yet. For the way I use it at work, it pretty much gives me exactly what I need without causing any issues.

“good free tool for team polls

Pros

When we used it in a corporate environment, I noticed how simple it was to organize group polls. It removed a lot of the back-and-forth communication and made scheduling much more efficient. The fact that this feature was free made it even more valuable for our team.

Cons

I would not say there are any real cons for me. We didn't use it as a full calendar or one-on-one booking tool. Instead, we mainly used it to organize casual or social events and for that purpose it worked perfectly without much problem.

“Reliable tool for team scheduling

Pros

It does an excellent job when it comes to scheduling meetings and events with multiple people. i have personally used it for staff meetings and even team-building activities and it worked really well for both situations.

Cons

i have never really had any problems whenever i have used it. Every time I use it, the experience has been pretty smooth and positive for me.

“helpful reminders with simple design

Pros

it keeps me updated about important appointments and meetings. It also reminds me about events I have planned with family or friends which helps me stay organized and not forget things.

Cons

one small thing I wish it had is cuter designs or themes for calendars or planners. Adding some fun visual styles would make the experience feel more enjoyable.

“helpful group scheduling but paid features locked

Pros

what I appreciate most about it is how much easier it makes scheduling especially when several people are involved. Instead of endless email threads trying to agree on a time, I can quickly see what works for everyone and lock in a meeting without any problem.

Cons

One downside i have noticed is that some really helpful features like calendar integration and meeting reminders are locked behind the paid version. So if you stay on the free plan, you don't really get the full experience.

“Easy group polls but ad clutter

Pros

very simple to create a group poll. I can set it up quickly without any confusion. The only thing I noticed is that many of the additional features are part of the paid version so the free version has some limitations.

Cons

A lot of the features are paid and the free version comes with quite a few ads on the screen. Sometimes this makes it harder to create invitations or read them clearly.

“fast setup with limited customization

Pros

I like how fast the setup process is and how convenient the options are. Another thing I appreciate is that people don't have to sign in just to vote which makes it much easier for everyone to participate.

Cons

it is very simple and easy but that also means there is not much you can customize. It would be nice if they added themes or other options to make the polls look more personalized.

“efficient scheduling with color confusion

Pros

i have found it to be a very easy-to-use, fast and efficient tool for scheduling meetings. It has saved me a lot of time in my daily work and honestly I would recommend it to anyone who regularly needs to coordinate meetings.

Cons

The color scheme used to show availability on the calendar could definitely be improved. At times it's difficult for me to clearly see which days actually have available time slots.

“Simple group scheduling with dated design

Pros

how easy it makes scheduling large meetings with multiple stakeholders. Instead of sending countless messages to everyone, I can just share the poll and quickly see what works for the group.

Cons

I do wish it looked a little nicer visually. When I first started using it, I found it somewhat confusing to figure out how everything worked.

“smooth scheduling after small learning curve

Pros

It makes coordinating schedules incredibly simple. I can easily compare everyone's availability and pick a time that works best for the whole group.

Cons

At the beginning, setting up poll dates and checking responses felt a little clunky for me. But after using it more, it was not too hard to get used to.

“best for group planning

Pros

I had never used a tool like it before but it turned out to be extremely helpful. It made finding a date and time that worked for everyone in a group so much easier. Compared to sending endless emails or texts back and forth, this saved a huge amount of time and effort and i am really thankful for it.

Cons

I honestly can't think of any major issues. one small thing though sometimes it's not very clear when there's a second page of available time slots. It would also be really helpful if there were an option to add comments while scheduling.

“Fast meeting scheduling without issues

Pros

Since I started using it, it has significantly reduced the amount of time I spend scheduling meetings. The process is much faster and more organized.

Cons

I really don't have any complaints about it. So far it has done everything I needed and has worked perfectly for my scheduling needs.

“Interactive tool but free plan limits

Pros

I liked how interactive the interface felt for participants. Even people who had never used the tool before were able to understand how to respond without any confusion.

Cons

how long it took to enter some very basic decision criteria. On top of that, the free version limits the number of options which felt restrictive.

“handy tool

Pros

For me it is a really handy tool when a group of people needs to decide on a single date. It simplifies the whole decision-making process.

Cons

Some of our older board members find it difficult to use. But honestly, I think that says more about their comfort with technology than anything wrong with the app itself.

“useful free scheduler

Pros

as far as I know, this is the only free software i have used that makes it possible to easily find a suitable meeting time with others. That alone makes it very useful for me.

Cons

Sometimes the scheduled times move around or shift slightly which makes it a little tricky for me to set them correctly.

“helpful calendar sync but confusing setup

Pros

Google Calendar integration is incredibly helpful. It connects smoothly with my calendar and makes managing schedules much easier.

Cons

I personally find the setup complicated. My dad tried using it as well and he also felt that it was too confusing to figure out easily.

“nice tool everyone learns quickly

Pros

I find it very user-friendly. In fact, I was able to quickly show my teammates on previous teams how to use it and they picked it up right away.

Cons

i don't really have any suggestions for improvement. I enjoyed using it the way it is and I also felt that the pricing was fair for what it offers.

“awesome scheduling tool

Pros

it is a great and easy way for me to quickly collect people's availability for an event. It syncs well with my calendar and even shows my own availability before I send the poll out.

Cons

Like most tools, it does have a few pain points. The user interface changes over time have not always felt as smooth as earlier versions. Also the gap between the free and premium plans seems bigger now because some features have been reduced in the free version rather than new ones being added to premium.

“free tool for group availability

Pros

I see it as a free and simple tool that makes communicating availability across groups much easier and more organized.

Cons

One thing I struggle with is navigating through many dates at once. For example, when I try to look across a few months, it can feel difficult to manage.

“works for group meetings but less interactive

Pros

it's a really great tool for organizing and scheduling appointments, meetings and similar events. I mostly use it when we need to match the availability of several people and find a common date that works for everyone.

Cons

In my experience it does not feel as interactive or as simple to use as some of Google's tools.

“Flexible scheduling with timezone confusion

Pros

What I really like about it is that it's accessible for many different users and situations. I can also integrate my calendar with it which helps me avoid double-booking meetings or appointments.

Cons

Time zones can occasionally cause problems for me. If they are set automatically and I don't notice right away, it can lead to confusion when scheduling meetings.

“Powerful poll scheduling but no video calls

Pros

One of the biggest advantages for me is the poll-based scheduling. It makes organizing meetings with multiple people much easier. The paid version also includes alerts and notifications which are helpful. I also appreciate the time zone management and the option to set deadlines for polls.

Cons

there's no built-in video conferencing option inside the app. The free version is also somewhat limited and of course it requires an internet connection to work.

“Simple polls with smooth sharing

Pros

I love the ability to create scheduled polls that everyone can participate in. It's great that the polls can be shared easily and that all invited participants can see and respond to the available options.

Cons

Personally, I have not found any real disadvantages. From my perspective, everything seems well designed and works nicely.

“Stops endless email scheduling

Pros

i can simply send a it to my team with several time options. It saves us from endless email chains where someone always forgets to "Reply to All." Everything stays organized in one place.

Cons

I do wish it offered more features in the free plan. That would make it even more useful without needing to upgrade.

“good choice for groups

Pros

It makes it really easy to find a time that works for everyone. i have found it especially helpful when scheduling meetings with larger groups.

Cons

Unfortunately.. the free features are limited. It still works but you definitely notice that some capabilities are locked behind the paid version.

“nice polls but confusing future dates

Pros

for me, the best part is how easy it is to poll people and figure out the best days and times for a group meeting.

Cons

Sometimes the format can feel confusing especially when I try to give scheduling options that are farther in the future instead of just within the next couple of weeks.

“Simple scheduling with occasional save issues

Pros

I like how simple it is to use and the free version works perfectly for occasional scheduling. It's especially helpful when coordinating events with multiple stakeholders and trying to choose the date with the highest possible attendance.

Cons

there have been times when I forgot to click a button and later realized that my information was not actually recorded. That can be a little frustrating when I think everything has already been saved.

“ad clutter and sync gaps

Pros

i often use it to schedule meetings with my students. the platform is simple but still powerful enough to manage polls and meeting times. I also really appreciate the ability to sync it with my Outlook work calendar.

Cons

One thing I don't really like is the advertisement that appears on the side of the it poll or calendar. It does not look very professional although I understand that it's expected when using the free version. another issue i have noticed is with the calendar sync between it and Outlook. I often use it to schedule tutoring sessions by sharing my calendar with my students. They can easily pick a suitable time slot and book a meeting with me which works great most of the time. However when I make changes in my work calendar or when a student cancels a meeting, those updates don't always sync properly with the it calendar. Because of this, I feel like the integration between it and Outlook could definitely be improved.

“reliable reminders for organized meetings

Pros

I use it regularly to organize meetings with clients or coworkers. I can schedule things ahead of time so my agenda stays organized. When the meeting day arrives, it sends notifications reminding me about the meeting times which helps me stay on track and not forget anything.

Cons

I mainly use the basic tools and honestly they have always worked correctly for me. i have never experienced failures, crashes or any system issues while using it.

“fun tool but tricky for business use

Cons

From my perspective, it's one of the more expensive software options available especially when compared to some alternatives.

“Quick polls but limited time slots

Pros

I really appreciate how simple it is to create polls quickly and efficiently. It makes gathering responses from a group very easy.

Cons

one limitation I noticed is that I can't select time slots that last more than one day which can be inconvenient depending on the type of scheduling i am trying to do.

“Huge time saver for group scheduling

Pros

It saves me a huge amount of time when trying to find a date that works for everyone involved.

Cons

I also noticed a difference between the online and offline versions and that inconsistency can sometimes make the experience feel uneven.

“smooth scheduling but missing notifications

Pros

it makes meeting scheduling easy and easy without adding unnecessary complexity.

Cons

What I liked the least is that on the free plan, it does not send a notification when someone selects a meeting time. that makes it easy to miss updates unless I check manually.

Pros

very easy to use and even the free version offers solid functionality that works well for most scheduling needs.

Cons

another small annoyance is that it can sometimes be hard to find previous polls that I created earlier especially when i have made quite a few of them.

“great meeting coordination with weak mobile view

Pros

I find it really great for coordinating meeting times with multiple users. Everything is clear, well organized and very easy for me to use.

Cons

sometimes the mobile view is not great. Not all the scheduled times show properly on the screen which makes it harder for me to see everything clearly when i am using my phone.

Pros

In my experience this software is one of the most efficient tools for organizing schedules and coordinating tasks with colleagues or team members. The user interface is simple and easy which makes it very beginner-friendly. It has all the essential features I need to plan my day. It becomes especially helpful in a work environment where meetings and coordination with others are frequent. Before using it, my team spent a lot of time trying to figure out when everyone was available. With the group scheduling options, we save a lot of time and can easily make shifts or adjustments without any stress.

Cons

Every now and then I notice a small glitch where the schedule I just updated takes a little while to appear. It would also be really helpful if the software offered more integrations or collaboration features with other work-related tools.

“Helpful meeting tool but pricey

Pros

i have found it to be really useful for scheduling office meetings. It keeps everything organized and helps avoid confusion about meeting times.

Cons

it's one of the more expensive options available in the market compared to some other scheduling tools.

“Simplifies scheduling for teams

Pros

For me it has made organizing schedules for multiple people much easier. there's far less back-and-forth through email which used to take up a lot of time. now scheduling meetings feels much simpler and more efficient.

Cons

One improvement I'd like to see is a better way to organize or filter surveys. It would be helpful if the system could automatically remove or hide old or irrelevant surveys that i am no longer connected to.

“easy scheduling but outdated name

Pros

What I love most is how easy it is to use. The interface is very interactive and it makes finding a date that works for everyone on the team quick and painless.

Cons

one limitation I noticed is the restricted number of dates you can add in the free version which can be inconvenient sometimes.

“Quick meeting planning made easy

how simple it is to use and how quickly it helps me find a meeting time that works for everyone involved. It makes scheduling much faster and more convenient.
