Leave a Review Pencil Planner & Draw Calendar
  • Best Planner Ever

    I love this planner so incredibly much, it has the perfect mixture of structure and minimalism I need to enjoy using it. The app itself runs very smoothly and I’ve never had a problem with glitching or freezing while using it even when it’s been open for hours which I do often although mistakenly, in the past it led to a lot of efforts not being saved so for that I am very appreciative. I normally don’t write reviews, my only reason for putting this up is to give my appreciations and thanks to the developers and mention a small problem. When I am in the daily and weekly view pages and press on the date hyperlink at the top to view the mini calendar of the month that hyperlinks to other days, the buttons of the days overlap and it’s impossible to view the month and go through the days. This is a function I normally use a lot and decreases the functionality a bit for me. I love this app and would love to use it until I kick the bucket so that small fix would mean the world to me and make this app 100% perfect. Thank you for reading! I also would not complain if we had more pen options👀

  • Lasso tool issue

    Hello, the Lasso tools cut/copy/paste across different days on DAY view stopped working. Please resolve the issue. I really find your app excellent because it’s simple and easy to use. But without this current lasso problem, it changes the situation.
    Thanx
  • Needs more Pencil features

    I didn’t want to purchase the Pro subscription version because I still prefer the buy once and own it mentality. However, I can’t help but be annoyed that the Pro version offers different pens and highlighters, versus this version which uses the generic pencil options that Apple Notes has.

    For 8.99, I expected the same pencil options as the Pro version. If they are going to push a subscription model, they should offer different backgrounds and other features on that Pro version, but different pencil options should be a basic function for $8.99 on the not Pro version of this app.

    I will admit though, that being able to only use the Apple Pencil on the app is so relieving. I’ve always wanted to use a planner, but have been turned off from typing a planner. Using a pencil as the primary function is so nice.

    Also, it would be nice if the app had a widget. Even a 2x2 widget showing the today view from whatever we wrote on the month view would be cool. Or a 3x2 widget that shows ur the hourly view from today. Or the 4x2 which could show us the next four days from the weekly view would be so amazing.

  • New improvements needed

    We bought this app but the features are frustrating. I hope this app would improve its features and at least to have a pen, pencil and highlighter features like GoodNotes where we can draw straight line without using rulers. The app is buggy so please fix it. Lastly, i hope u can design a new icon for this app. The current icon is boring. Thank you

  • Just a suggestion

    Is there any way you can get the calendars to transfer from an i pad to your phone? I love being able to use my tablet to make all my changes. However if i could pull up the same calendar in real time on my phone that would be awesome!
  • Exactly what I wanted

    I’ve been looking for a good planner app for a long time. I keep going back to paper planners, then abandoning them because they’re never quite perfect, I have to rewrite everything daily, and it’s one more thing to carry. This solves ALL of those problems. The only thing I can think of for an improvement is to add calendar sync so I don’t have to write in all my appointments each day/week/month/year, but I have no idea how difficult that would be to implement.

  • Ditched my paper planner for this one

    I love how straightforward it is to use! Thank you!!
    If the developers were to add the option to synchronize content from the Calendar App or Google Calendar, I’d love it even more!!
  • Best planner for pencil users

    I have downloaded so many other planner apps and I’m so glad that I did not skip this app for its price. I love how straightforward and simple it is. Though I wish there could be an option to change the paper texture or background color as my eyes get sore staring at pure white/black background for too long. Keep up the good work.

  • Great App

    This helps to feel like a paper agenda planner yet continues to allow me to work digital! Next request; allow the native Calendar events to show or sync on this calendar too!
  • Great

    Good app very useful for a planner. I like being able to write directly on the calendar and task lists and that it stays in my handwriting (hate when apps only convert to text as this just leads to a bunch of typos). My only issue is I wish I could sink the calendar with my apple calendar which would make it easier to see upcoming birthdays or events I synch from online. Wondering if this is possible in the foreseeable future?
