Task Board Reviews

“Everything is documented, so Taskboard keeps my clients informed as well!

Pros

Its saved me a lot of time. Working with clients can be difficult, but this tool makes even the most difficult clients easy to work with. Everything is documented, and they have a clear picture of whats happening, so Im not spending time during the day or evening delivering updates on whats happening! Its easy to use for my clients and me, so there are no misunderstandings. The ability of a client to provide direct input to a full team saves a lot of time and miscommunication. It increases project efficiency in some cases.

Cons

Initially, it was a bit difficult having a client constantly be able to add comments and interfere with what they did not know about. We had to take some extra steps to train our team so that they are always aware of when they are working publicly (in front of the client) and when it is set to private for the team. Thanks to this, we have a greater level of control, but I would appreciate it if the software figured out another simpler way to do it.

“Signed up for Premium, didn't get access

Pros

The software have multi-board feature, but it never functioned well for me.

Cons

I enrolled in the premium trial which indicates that I was a premium member, but unfortunately I never gained access to the premium features.

“It is very flexible and allows team members to be creative.

Pros

I found TB to be very flexible. We are not limited to using certain tools for a particular task. Many tasks can be accomplished in multiple ways, opening up a lot of space for creativity. We have been able to achieve practically anything. The developers provided excellent help, responding swiftly and efficiently to our questions and concerns. We used to love the old chrome extension, but they have recently expanded and made it a proper system that now does even more than I need.

Cons

It is great that all the bills are handled automatically, and I can generate the invoices on the spot, but they are not in the format I need. Id prefer to see USD invoicing since 99% of my clients are US based, and even those that do not prefer to work in USD. With the overlay, the smartphone experience is a little weird, but its simple enough to get used to. If the team made that one change in invoicing, itll be the perfect software ever.

“Reduces our workload while keeping all clients synced.

Pros

Taskboard is great at handling data and organizing it perfectly. I like automating the pace at which data is shared with the clients once we submit the required information. They may work at their own pace and are unaffected by our time zone differences. It reduced the delays that used to occur when I forgot to post content to a certain Facebook group in the morning. All my clients are in sync with me now, and its never been easier.

Cons

I want to give my clients more flexibility to select the number of days (in whatever order) theyd like to receive the content. It could be either Monday to Friday or seven days a week. It would also be wonderful if the client could pick whether or not the next day flowed into their board if the previous day was not completed. It all would make my work even easier to manage and more organized.

“Cool Little Tool for Connecting and Organizing

Pros

It is highly intuitive and accessible on various devices. It assists me in organizing monthly meetings and checking my teams availability.

Cons

Currently, I can't think of anything that needs improvement. I am confident that more innovative updates are on the horizon.

“Set a meeting date - Quick!

Pros

As an executive assistant, coordinating meetings can be quite challenging with busy leaders. This tool helps me quickly determine meeting dates and times.

Cons

This platform is really intuitive. The only problem I encounter is when people are too busy to actually fill out the necessary information!

“It really is a Doddle!

Pros

Task Board is a very user-friendly, and its functionality was perfect for our needs. The user interface design was easy to navigate, to the point that no training was necessary. This meant we could focus on completing tasks instead of spending hours figuring out how to use it.

Cons

I can't find anything negative to say about it.

“Easy to use!

Pros

I like how easy it is to use, and the ability to archive tasks is a plus. Being able to mark tasks as complete is also great!

Cons

Navigating through the multiple sections on the screen was difficult when using a phone.

“First Time User

Pros

I am a bit of a technophobe, but I found it easy enough to adapt to.

Cons

I would have liked a tutorial on how to use it, but that's just my personal preference.

“Really simple to use and great for the automated learning

Pros

It was really simple to use and allowed me to handle daily tasks as part of the 30 day mentor program.

Cons

I am considering using it for other project management tasks as well as I am quite satisfied with everything the software if offering.

“Really easy to use and logical UX

Pros

I enjoyed the user interface and the tools responsiveness. Everything was logically placed and instinctive. I didn't have to ponder.

Cons

For dislikes or improvements I can't tell or say what sould be done by the team as I haven't used it enough to find any bugs or issues. I have only completed one project over a month with it. The only drawback I can think of is that I already have numerous different apps for managing to-do lists, and adding another one to the mix can be overwhelming.

“Fantastic - it just works!

Pros

The software is highly focused which allows you to stay in context or connected with your task while still having an overview of the big picture.

Cons

Occasionally, there was some lag, and when completing a task, I would see a spinning beachball.

“Easy to use, easy on the eyes, fast installation

Pros

I used Doddle for the first time to attend a course I had registered for. Initially, I had concerns about using a new platform without any training, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy to use. The platform sends notifications to your inbox, guiding you when something new is happening and the simple layout makes it easy to understand where you are in the workflow. The visual design is clear, uncluttered and well-organized. I genuinely enjoyed using it!

Cons

It would be great to have a brief demo during the initial use, highlighting any important features for new users.

“Cool tasking tool

Pros

An excellent task manager that helps me concentrate on the specific task at hand.

Cons

For now, everything is fine. Having a feature similar to WhatsApp's "Read on XX:XX hours" would be a fantastic addition.

“Task planning + Meetings = All in one!

Pros

I enjoyed the interaction with my trainer/mentor, who could post tasks through the channel and populate my to-do list. I simply action them, and I really like this approach. It works exceptionally well for managing remote teams. I can definitely see it being useful for future projects and training development work with my clients.

Cons

So far, I haven't encountered any problems. Fingers crossed as it will stay the same in the future too!

“Pros/Cons Tale of Two Worlds

Pros

As someone taking a course, it was simple to use.

Cons

It would be helpful to have a tutorial specifically for administrators. I had the intention of setting up my own course but felt completely lost right from the start. It is not very user-friendly in that regard.

“Create community spaces easily

Pros

It is quite clear in a few aspects like what tasks that need to be done and seen. Other solutions can be confusing, but this one feature allows quick onboarding.

Cons

It wasn't very clear how to submit assignments.

“Straightforward and Easy to use

Pros

The feature I like the most is the Kanban-style structure that allows moving tasks from "in progress" to "done." It gives a sense of progress and accomplishment while also showing what is remaining. Having the chat function on the main page makes it convenient to communicate with the host, as everything is in one place.

Cons

It wasn't as easy to use on a mobile device because there is a lot of content on the screen, resulting in very small text.

“Not sure why I didnt find this before!

Pros

The Q&A and conversation features are quite user-friendly.

Cons

Finding options to return back to the table was challenging.

“It's a Ronseal product

Pros

I started using this tool as part of a course I was taking, and now I plan to purchase and use it for my management development programs. It's incredibly simple and easy to use, doing exactly what it promises. To me, that's the best compliment one can receive.

Cons

I wanted something that was simple and easy to use. I am tired of complex software with unnecessary features that I don't even use.

“Using Doddle as a customer of the Doddle Account Holder

Pros

It appears to be quite user-friendly. The account holder displays tasks for me to complete, and they are visible through email and the dashboard. Clearing tasks is effortless and intuitive too.

Cons

I faced a few issues initially while trying to log in. I got stuck in a loop when using the Microsoft Edge Browser, but switching to Chrome resolved the problem, and everything worked smoothly.

“Exceptionally UserFriendly and Intuitive Design

Pros

I found the tool's user interface and responsiveness to be truly impressive. Everything was logically organized and felt instinctively easy to navigate. It significantly aided me in maintaining focus while undergoing a LinkedIn training and development course.

Cons

While I'm somewhat limited in my assessment due to the relatively short period of usage I can't identify any noteworthy bugs or issues. My experience is based on completing just one project over the course of a month. The only potential drawback I perceive is that given the variety of existing todo apps I already use incorporating this tool might contribute to app overload.

“Easy to navigate

Pros

I use Doddle but someone else has set up the framework, but still I find it very easy to navigate.

Cons

I can't think of anything that could be improved.

“Functional

Pros

Once in the webinar, it was functional and fulfilled the purpose with ease.

Cons

Initially, it felt a bit odd waiting for the link to start, but I gradually got used to it.

“Great Software, easy and fun to use.

Pros

It worked wonders for networking events, offering a much more intuitive and improved user experience compared to other apps like Zoom.

Cons

The software was overall great, but occasionally, when I tried to link to people's profiles and add them on LinkedIn, my audio would drop, and I had to exit the software and log back in. This wasn't the experience of most other participants in my groups, but it may have been because I was using Safari.

“Nice and easy

Pros

Having no prior experience with this product, I was initially concerned that it might be overwhelming. However, it turned out to be easy to use and following the instructions is also not a problem as everything is explained properly.

Cons

I don't think I have used it enough to point out the areas for improvement.

“What a Doddle!

Pros

I discovered Doddle during an online masterclass, and its task management, video and content organization, and completion tracking helped me stay focused and in control. It is simple and user-friendly.

Cons

Using it on Safari and iOS had some limitations, but overall it was okay. I just had to get used to it.

“Doddle

Pros

It's very easy to access and use, offering good functionality and customer support.

Cons

N/A. I was satisfied with the product, as it was user-friendly.

“It's a doddle

Pros

Its simplicity and clear layout are its strengths. It doesn't try to do too much. It is helpful.

Cons

I haven't fully explored all its capabilities, so I haven't come across any issues yet. But for task management and coaching, it gets the job done.

“Simplicity

Pros

The app is highly intuitive and user-friendly, requiring no instructions at all!

Cons

The only thing I think could be added (unless it already exists and I missed it) is a mobile app!

“Doddle Review: A Great Piece of Kit!

Pros

I genuinely enjoyed using the Doddle app. Firstly, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy and simple it was to use. Additionally, I loved the clean and visually appealing user interface. Tasks were added daily, and it was effortless to see what needed to be done and what had already been completed. The videos worked seamlessly. As I used the software, I couldn't find anything that needed improvement.

Cons

Like the previous comment mentioned, I can't think of anything that needs improvement based on how I use it.

“Easy to use and great support

Pros

It's easy to use and set up which makes it great for project management and task tracking.

Cons

I am always open to more integrations that can connect with the other software we use.

“Excellent features and incredibly useful

Pros

It integrates seamlessly with our existing business, helping with oversight, project management and ensuring smooth operations.

Cons

There's nothing that comes to mind. I can't think of any issues.

“Looks like a clever tool

Pros

Getting started with the free trial is really easy. The user interface is simple.

Cons

It's still too early to say at this point. For example, I haven't tested how well it integrates with other apps.

“Effortless content delivery

Pros

I love that once you upload your content, Doddle delivers it to your clients daily, allowing them to progress through the program at their own pace. No more forgetting to post morning content in the correct Facebook group or trying to synchronize all clients.

Cons

It would be great if clients could choose between Monday-Friday delivery or 7 days a week. It would also be helpful if clients could decide whether the next day's tasks should be displayed on their board if the previous day's tasks are not completed.

“The best communication tool for our team!

Pros

It allows effective communication within the team regarding upcoming projects or technical issues.

Cons

I haven't used any other similar tools to compare, but it fulfills all our needs, so I can't think of anything that needs improvement!

“Get on board!

Pros

Holding meetings online makes perfect sense right now.

Cons

Hardly anyone else knows about it! In my line of work in design, the people I work with prefer face-to-face meetings and aren't great at planning or keeping track of their schedules.

“Easy to learn, simple to use

Pros

The implementation was quick, and the feature set is ideal for our small business. Additionally, it's very much cost-effective.

Cons

The user experience wasn't the best initially, but it has improved since we started using it.

“Useful for Scheduling Meetings

Pros

I primarily use it for scheduling meetings. I like how it displays everyone's availability for different date options and provides a tally of the number of people available at specific times. There's also a comment section. It's cloud-based, and the meeting link can be shared with anyone.

Cons

When the poll creator selects numerous time options, it becomes tedious to have to scroll right to see all the options. It would be more convenient if they were displayed in a more intuitive way.

“To organize and plan.

Pros

This application allows me to quickly and easily organize and plan both personal events and work-related tasks. The program allows direct invitation sending to selected individuals. With attendance confirmation, I have exact information about the participants. It is an online tool that is user-friendly and offers a free version. All I need is an email, internet access on a computer and the email addresses of clients, colleagues, and friends. It also provides the option to create online surveys for free, with or without registration.

Cons

Accessing the application requires a computer and an internet connection.

“Simple to use and effective

Pros

It's a quick and simple tool to use. Having a single link for all social media is great.

Cons

At the moment, everything seems very simple. I don't have any concerns.

“Doddle Review.

Pros

The standout feature for me is the attentive and friendly support team. They excel at troubleshooting any issues.

Cons

The lack of marketing for the services offered by this software is what I like least about it.

“Fab - so useful

Pros

For time management and feedback, the tool is excellent. The notifications are quite useful and the innovative time-tracking approach saves time.

Cons

It would be so much easier if I could get all my clients to start using it as it will allow us to combine everything in one place.

“Wonderful, simple solution to an age old problem.

Pros

One of my favorite modern technologies! It easily streamlines the process of scheduling meetings for both work and volunteering.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any cons for this product. While some might prefer additional features, I personally like its simplicity.

“Everything you need in project management including recording time spent really effectively.

Pros

It's incredibly easy to use. None of us have the luxury of spending hours learning complex new software. We all prefer to hit the ground running, and the intuitive nature of this tool fits us perfectly.

Cons

Well, if only it had the ability to automatically boil the kettle and make tea for our breaks! But aside from the impossible, we are extremely satisfied with it.

“A nice task manager that feels like it was built for freelancers

Pros

Doddle serves as an excellent task management system, and what I love most is the continuous timer. It ensures I never miss logging my time, and it's the most precise I've ever been with my timesheets!

Cons

Occasionally, one of my projects takes a little longer to load because I have a lot of tasks. However, when I reached out to the chat support, they were very helpful in addressing the issue.

“We use doddle all day every day to keep on top of everything

Pros

The whole office finds it easy to use, and it consolidates tasks in one place, allowing everyone to stay updated on ongoing work and expected completion times.

Cons

Apart from the name change, I used to use it back when it was called Skwish, and I actually prefer that name to Doddle, although I seem to be the only one in the office who feels that way!

“It's been a fantastic tool. I can't believe I only just found this!

Pros

Clients always try to slip in additional work without paying. This tool helps me keep track of every request within a project and charge accordingly.

Cons

I wish I had discovered it sooner! It's challenging to find anything to dislike about this tool. It allows you to customize it to suit your work style, whether that's quoting per piece or for an entire project.

“Really slick, simple interface that took just seconds to get used to.

Pros

Versatility of Doddle is outstanding. It allows me to accomplish almost anything without forcing me to use specific tools. Moreover, the developers provide amazing support, responding promptly and effectively to my questions.

Cons

So far, it has delivered everything I need. I would love the option to use a color scheme that aligns with my corporate colors.

“Get answers from your team without bombarding them with e-mails!

Pros

One of the major advantages of Doddle is the ability to ask various questions to my team through polls without the need for endless email exchanges with multiple people.

Cons

Personally, I find the overall experience a bit too "cute" in terms of its graphic design. It reminds me of something you'd see in a high school computer class.
