Awesome Customer Support!

Penendex is a well crafted and very useful application. I have been collecting pens and inks for 40 years and my Stuff has gotten completely out of control. This app offers me an efficient way to take account of my holdings.

The developer is very helpful and responsive to customer queries and issues! I give this app six and a half stars!👍🏾

An excellent tool for managing collections & shows

Whether you only have a couple of ones & inks or are into the 100’s, this is an excellent app for managing not only your pens & inks, but also pen shows! I really love the ability to mark inked pens for cleaning, as well as the wishlist function to track our next grail.

The pen show function allows you to plan out your visit by setting your budget, listing items you want to buy, any events or classes you plan on attending at the show, and a handy map of where it’s being held.

This is easily one of the best tools the fountain pen community has available to it.

DO NOT USE if you collect pens

Pendex loses data— entire entries for pens, and all history of ink fills/cleaning. The January 2024 update erased all data I entered after late June of 2023, but retained data from January- June.

Pendex doesn’t work for collectors. The UI for “inking” a pen is incapable of distinguishing between two pens of the same model, even if they are different colors or nibs.

Pendex frustrates advocates. I was cheering for a Pacific Northwest developer. Now I regret I making the in-app purchase one year ago. I was hopeful & patient with deficiencies for a year. Including the unresponsive developer email address that rejects all feedback.

I tried using Pendex for a hobby I enjoy. Pendex detracts from enjoyment, increases frustration & friction, and creates a sense of loss.

Let this be some feedback for the developer and caution for anyone thinking this app will be fun and helpful for their fountain pen hobby.

Hey MobileMind, I apologize for hearing about this data loss issue. This is definitely a significant issue. I can see you tried to email me but didn't get a response. It sounds like there may be an issue with submitting feedback. Here is my developer email that should get directly to me. I really appreciate you supporting a PNW developer and I would really like to help sort out the issue's you've experienced with my app. Email me at hello@penedex.com if you are willing to give me some more details regarding your data loss issue. If it bounces back you can also find me on Threads or Instagram @penedexapp. I would really like to help resolve these issues both for you and for anyone else who might be experiencing a similar bug. Thank you again.

Mostly a good app

The app works well and seems to have all of the options. 2 issues. I’d rather pay a one time fee and am not fond of subscriptions. And second the app cuts the photos down. If you have a long thin photo of a pen the app will cut the image smaller so that you only see a small section of the pen.

Hi Thrage, keep an eye on the App Store because I'm pushing out an update soon that should resolve this issue with photos. Thank you for submitting a reply, I appreciate it!

This app is a LIFESAVER when it comes to my pens!

I absolutely LOVE this app. I love it so much I pay for a yearly subscription, and I don’t pay for apps. This is the ONLY app I pay for because it’s THAT useful. Ever since I discovered fountain pens a few years ago, I couldn’t find a way to keep track of all of my pens and inks and currently inked that I would stick to. I would make a list and then inevitably stop using it. This app helps me keep track of all the pens and inks I own and what inks are in what pen. It just does what it’s supposed to do and it’s so easy it’s really nothing to make sure I’m keeping up with it. Absolutely LOVE it!!

Hello! Thank you for this wonderful review, I’m glad to hear that you enjoy the app! This latest release was a long time in the making and I hope you enjoy it. I’ve got more stuff coming this year so stay tuned!

Excellent

I’m new to fountain pens and my collection is growing. Needed a way to keep track of them. This app is great. Developer is responsive to queries and requests.

Thank you for the kind words! I’m always happy to take feedback and suggestions!

Straight forward and just what I need

This is the easy to access app I have wanted a long time for! Other options out they might have more social features and the like, but that was all way more than I needed for my collection and tracking my personal use. This has worked out to be exactly what I needed to fit my life! Happily supporting the pro version to see where the iterations will go!
