Leave a Review Pencil Planner & Draw Calendar
Sooo close to perfection...
This app is amazing for teachers. Previously I was using google calendar, but just wasn’t pleased with being able to see my day view in a meaningful way and notes for each day. This app fixes that! It is so easy and natural writing on this calendar. There are only a few things that REALLY need improving.
First, (and this is a small complaint) I wish that when I zoomed in the template would not be blurry. I expected it to be a vector image. Second, I really need a way to export the page without just taking a screen shot. I need a good high quality export. Next, I wish that some drawings would automatically appear from one view to another such as from the month view to the week view to the day view. Lastly, I wish that this app had better syncing and a dedicated iPhone app. The iPhone app could be less detailed, and take up more of the screen. As of now, it is pretty hard to see on a small phone. Also, If this app had a Mac app (or preferably a website) that I could look at my writings on my computer for free, I would definitely give this 5 stars.
Seriously a great app though. I will plan to use it for the near future!Show lessCodelle333

Thanks for the detailed review! We are with you on all your requests and they are each already either on the short-term roadmap or in the backlog. The first item we are working on currently is a mechanism for seeing the day entry in the week or month. For more details on the rest of the items or to send additional feedback please reach out at plannersupport@next83.com, thanks!Pretty close
I much prefer writing tasks and schedules—more satisfying than typing and helps my thought process. Was pleased to find this app.
I typically use the app in portrait rather than landscape mode. The default daily view has two pages, one for the tasks and schedule, and an extra page for notes. I find this requires constant zooming to add tasks or meetings, as the two-page view in portrait is quite small. Since I don’t use the second page much, I’d very much like to see a one page per day option that would work better in portrait mode without so much zooming.Show lesseshaker70

Thanks for the feedback! We totally hear you on the portrait mode. We have added an item in the backlog for improving portrait mode, either through a responsive design or a separate set of portrait templates. Hopefully we can get this improvement into a version for you soon.FINALLY!!!
Thank you for creating a digital planner to work with the Apple Pencil that doesn’t require you to go inside the date to write something and then back out to see it. I greatly appreciate all of the features especially the pencil and paper feel. BTW - the Grid view is really cool which was a wonderful surprise.
Couple of ideas: If you ever get a chance to add a couple blank tabs after the grid tab to allow for full size notes, that would be amazing. If those note tabs could have an option of blank, ruled, and grid paper, that would be really cool. If those tabs could be customizable, that would be very helpful. Meanwhile, I love everything about this app. It has become my #1 iPad digital organizer. Thanks again!!!Show lessKjKJoJo

Thanks for the feedback and review! We love the idea of the notes tab, have added it to our backlog, and hope to introduce something to meet that need in a future version. Glad you are enjoying the app!Calendar
I love it so far, I’ve only had this app for a little over a week now! The reason I put 4out of 5 stars is because when you go from day/week/mo/year etc it doesn't show on other tabs besides the one you write on. I do freelance and work from home and so far this has been great! Once I can switch tabs and still see schedule etc it’ll be a 5* rating! It’s definitely worth the few bucks to purchase!Show lessmoken13
Amazing app. Digital planning done easy
Love love love this app! It shows great promise with future updates. As some other reviews have mentioned, having a text option would be amazing! But also allowing for digital images to uploaded would make this app even better. Allowing for those who like using digital stickers to use them with in the app.Show lessc.thames

This app has potential
Perfect for minimalism and super easy to navigate. I do think that maybe adding a text function would be cool. I do like how we can use many functions of the apple pen, making it super easy to duplicate. Overall great app, I see great potential, officially my new planner app.Fvyjgevetgyh
Electronic Paper Planner/Calendar
So many times a person just wants a simple calendar to help with planning some things. I love having a perpetual calendar that I can use my a Apple Pencil on to do some simple planning. I’m 61 years old and I love technology, but I have done some things for such a long time that I really don’t want to change that. With Pencil Planner, at least one thing has found the perfect match for my age and my love of tech. TO THE DEVELOPERS: Thank you!Show lessPTgizmo
Almost There
This is what I was looking for as far as being able to write things into an agenda.
However, I wish it still had some of the digital calendar elements to it. Such as typing things when needed and having certain tasks to have a due date and time that would send a notification. And give you different views. Stuff that is entered via typing with due dates/notifications on can display across all views.
This would’ve the perfect app if I could have a digital calendar element in addition to the written portion. On the fence about getting a refund.Show lessAppLove101
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! We totally agree on a digital element. The first step in this direction is to integrate with the Calendar app and display events from your calendar. We intend to have this feature in a version within a couple weeks. If you have any other questions or issues feel free to reach out at plannersupport@next83.comIdentical to physical organizers. Syncs across devices!
I’m a Soldier and we always take notes and have our leaders book that we take everywhere. I switched to an iPad years ago to keep all my publications and info on. This app is spot on with being simple to use with the pencil and syncing to my phone for quick reference on the go. Looking forward to future updates as this app has lots of promise. Developers seem to be very involved and care about this app.Show lessDCastaneda!
