  • Great idea, not that great of an app

    The idea is fantastic, I was looking everywhere for a task manager app, where I could also write things down. But, in comparison to other apps, the functionality of sketching and planning is just poor. It’s a paid app, writing and organizing on other free apps is so more advanced that this bad mix of both is just not worth it. Still, great idea, but the app really needs improvement.

  • No more paper

    Thanks for allowing me to go complete iPad productivity.
    Great lay out, just would like to see a note section. Although you give ample space on day, week views, sometimes you just need that blank page to plan and scratch out ideas. Otherwise, awesome!
  • I’ve been waiting for so long!

    Often times i would search the app store in hopes of finally getting to have an all in one app for organizing, journaling, and planning while simultaneously taking advantage of the gear I’ve invested in. Thank you for finally making a planner that feels like the real thing and is compatible with the pencil but is simple enough to use. without having to switch modes.

  • The Perfect Digital Planner

    I’ve used paper planners for years because I like handwriting my tasks and appointments and color coding or using highlighters. This digital planner works exactly like a paper planner when using an Apple Pencil. I also love that you can manage tasks by day, week, and month. I couldn’t be happier.
  • Very good functionality, wish there were more pen drawing features

    I really enjoy this app because I love being able to draw in my schedule like I am writing on a paper planner. I think it is well worth the purchase, especially since one-year paper planners are around $15. It is very use-friendly and easy to navigate through.

    One thing I wish could be improved is the pen drawing features. I like decorating my planner with colorful pens so I wish there were a continuous color wheel on which to select colors instead of pre-existing choices. Also, it would be nice if other certain colors could be saved so that I don’t have to search in the larger selection everytime. Lastly, I think it would be really cool if the app had a selection of stickers that we could use, like stars, hearts, etc. or if there were special ink colors, like patterns or glitter.

  • Great app!

    Like others said, this app is almost perfect! I would love to see what I write on the weekly view to be accessible on the daily view without having to rewrite it myself, nor can I copy and paste into the different views. This is the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars.
  • Not worth the cost

    This app is far from being a pay worthy app. The days/weeks/months/years are not interactive, there is no connectivity to other calendar apps, there are no notification option to alert you of a scheduled event. It’s basically a scribble pad at best. I am very very very disappointed I spent the money on this app. I got sucked into it because I saw a software on Facebook that was called Boss Planner and it’s apparent that the creator of this app fed off that. Do NOT buy this app unless you like to just use it as scratch paper. It doesn’t even rate 1 Star, in fact if I could rate it in the negative category I would.

  • Well that was a total waste of $9

    NOT at ALL what I’d expect from an app that costs nearly ten bucks! I would expect an app that’s easily higher than the rest... but all this is, is a few different calendar view templates repeated a million times and a pen.

    That’s it.

    There’s no other features, no other options (expect to make pages either dark or light). No pictures, no text, no labels, no icons, no color coding, no tagging, no bookmarks, no personalization of any kind. & if you don’t have a good Apple Pencil or expensive stylus ... then it’s pretty much a scrambled mess you can barely read when zoomed out.

    The writing sections on the templates are TINY and you have to pinch every little section you wanna write on to zoom in, & half the time you end up with a drawn line on accident instead. - You have to SWITCH OVER to view only mode any time you need to move the screen or zoom in or out, and then AGAIN change it to write mode before you can write anything. And so on and so forth.

    Not ONLY that - but it’s GLITCHY & CRASHES after every stroke!

    Very disappointed. I’ve never been this unsatisfied with an app that I paid for... especially not one that costs $8.99!!
    Would not object to a refund.

  • Perfect planner - a few questions

    This planner is delightful. I love writing out my notes and tasks on my planner and love using the dark mode. I would like to see the ability to add headers to the page either through pictures or text. Also, when I try to copy and paste ink from page to page, I often times only get the option to erase the page when I just really need to paste what has been copied.

  • Almost perfect!

    Love this app! Does almost exactly what I want from it, and the devs are planning to add all the features I keep hoping for. Excited to see digital calendar integration and the ability to view notes across day/week/month views. Once those features are added, this will become a 5 star review :)
