WhenIsGood Limitations in Detail

WhenIsGood was one of the first free scheduling tools - and it still works. But several WhenIsGood limitations make it frustrating for modern teams:

No mobile support. WhenIsGood uses a desktop-only drag grid. On phones and tablets, selecting time slots is nearly impossible - and most people check scheduling links on their phone first.

No "maybe" votes. WhenIsGood only supports available/unavailable. There's no way to say "I could make this work" - which means you lose valuable flexibility data.

No real-time updates. You have to refresh the page to see if anyone has voted. SyncWhen shows votes appearing live via WebSocket.

Dated interface. The design hasn't changed in over a decade. For professional use - client meetings, team scheduling - it doesn't make a great impression.

WhenIsGood Alternative - FAQ

Common questions about using SyncWhen instead of WhenIsGood.

How is SyncWhen different from WhenIsGood?

WhenIsGood uses a desktop-oriented grid and needs a page refresh to see new votes. SyncWhen is mobile-first and updates results live via WebSocket, so the best time appears as people vote - no refreshing.

Is SyncWhen free like WhenIsGood?

Yes. SyncWhen is free with no signup to create or vote. There is no paywall on the core scheduling features.

Do participants need an account to vote?

No. Participants vote with just their name - no signup, no email required. The organizer needs no account either.

Does SyncWhen work on mobile?

Yes. SyncWhen is built mobile-first, so voting is a few taps on a phone - unlike WhenIsGood's grid, which is awkward on small screens.

Can I see results update in real time?

Yes. Votes appear live via WebSocket as people submit them, and the leading time updates automatically for everyone viewing the poll.
