I strongly encourage implementing 24h clock selection. I live in a country where 24h clock is being used. AM/PM is SUPER-confusing for people not used to it. My browser/OS are in English and I have not managed to get Doodle to use 24h clock. This has caused me NOT to use Doodle. Sorry.

Hi Martin, please see Reto’s comment above for more information on how Doodle chooses between the two formats.

I totally agree – stupid that there’s not an option to select 24 hour format display… STUPID!

@Joel,

Doodle automatically picks your locale’s time format. In which country do you live?
Every poll participant will see it in their own format. E.g. 24hour in Switzerland, AM/PM in U.S.

Cheers,

Not being able to use 24 hour times is what’s keeping me from using the otherwise very nice service. That’s a pity and a bit frustrating. Maybe you could add a simple option that makes the site display the entered string verbatim without trying to parse the time? That would be great – I personally don’t need or want any special parsing of the time.

No, when used/viewed in English, Doodle uses 12-hour times with the AM/PM marker. When used/viewed in another language, Doodle uses that language’s time format.

Is it possible to have Doodle show 24-hour times instead of 12-hour times with AM/PM?
