Tricky way to sell **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jose C. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2019 **What do you like best about Doodly?** Nothing so far because I haven't used the product yet **What do you dislike about Doodly?** When the website is visited, there is only one purchase option. Right after you buy this "unlimited access offer only for facebook", then the Enterprise option appears... but that is not all. After you buy the Enterprise option, then the real good stuff appears, the "magic trick" to sell your products online. I wonder if after buying that "magic trick" another addition shows up... and another one... and another one... Brad Callen, your products might be good, but the way you sell them REALLY SUCKS! Added to all of the above, the program cannot be installed in the disk or partition of the user's choice... it installs itself wherever it was designed to be installed to. I hope that the "30 day money back no questions asked" policy is not another trick **Recommendations to others considering Doodly:** Do not buy this product until searching a lot.
