  • Amazing App

    This has to be one of the first planner setups that are NOT a PDF that hits on many of the needed points of a planner. Amazing job.

    The ability to create your own pages from the templates and items within it, is just stellar.

    I ask having issues when selecting penciled items with lasso and trying to copy / cut them to put on another page, locks the APP up and I have to close / reopen.

    Would love a way to search written notes. I have other small tweaks I think could help, but I will let you keep crafting this to perfection. Contact me via email if you would like some input and possible testing done.

    Love this app so much I purchased the annual on both my home and work iPad.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for using AJournal! Can you send an email to support@ajournal.pro about the suggestions? Thanks and have a lovely day!
  • Good but...

    It's amazing! I can add text, stickers, images and so much more but I just wish you could zoom in because I really wanna use my handwriting for the tasks and my schedule. Text is good, you can add colour, font and size. I love that there is an option to tick the weather for the day.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for using AJournal! Currently, we support zoom-in when using Apple Pencil. We will investigate the suggestion to allow it in hand mode as well in future AJournal releases.
  • Perfect productivity app

    This app is just the best! I like to try all the different productivity apps out there to see if and how they might be able to increase my productivity and enhance my workflows. This one rocks! I created a similar to-do template I used in Evernote and Craft but this one is ready to go “out of the box”. Pair that with the fact that it pulls data from ATracker so I can not only plan my time but look back on how efficiently I actually used my time - it’s a winning combo. Can’t wait for dark mode availability and would love a little more flexibility on the journaling piece, but those issues are minor. Great app!

    Thanks for using AJournal! We support dark mode in the current AJournal. You can enable it either in iPad settings or change it in AJournal settings. Please have it a try!
  • Best planner EVER!

    I have tried multiple paper planners, including Plum Paper and Erin Condren (both of which are fabulous), but they couldn't accommodate my ever revolving calendars (Google for personal and Outlook for work). So, I tried digital planners, but the user-interfaces were always clunky (at best) and I couldn't personalize them! I had about given up when I found this gem. It’s everything I wanted! Its easy to personalize with all the available templates (that you can use "as is" or modify) and the ability to create your own. It also integrates my digital calendars so I never miss a meeting or appointment! Thank you for creating this app!

  • OMG this is it. I’ve found the Holy grail of planner app

    Update to the “update”:
    The syncing makes all the difference! So happy now! Thank you!

    Update: need this to sync between devices without complicated steps. This is it guys! Everything you wanted in a planner app. I cant believe I found this especially it isn’t the first app suggested. I love that it used the Apple Pencil case because it has a pencil! Here are some things I am hoping will come: 1) be able to add your own stickers (but now you can use the clipboard to put in the ones you already have). 2)be able to drag and drop from procreate or any other app, like other art apps, and from files app I would be great (again, I can use clipboard now to copy and paste, but having it streamlined in drag and drop would be awesome. 3)a widget would be SO AWESOME That’s it! It’s a dream come true. I’ve made my own digital planner etc, but having to view all your calendar events and having to be able to insert and draw all over the lines is awesome. And being able to sketch with the Pencil tool in the Apple Pencil case is great. This is what I hoped Pencil planner would be but better since I can make my own layout that works for me. Again, thank you developers, I am sooooooo happy!

  • Quite good

    Indeed
  • Absolute Must Have!

    My entire day and my business is ran using this application. It has so many useful features and templates. I had a minor issue with a new feature recently added and when I contacted support the issue was resolved within 24 hours! That is amazing customer service. I am happy to support the developers of this app. Please keep up the great work! Thank you for everything!

  • Wow! Really has it ALL!!

    I’ve been using another pencil planner (probably the first one that included pencil and digital calendar syncing) and it’s pretty darn great. But it was missing one thing that brought me to you. Your custom templates are freaking AWESOME!! I can’t believe how much you can customize. My mind is blown! The other aspect is allowing images. This is my new daily planner, and I thank you for developing this. Two aspects I will miss about the other planner app are: 1. I could swipe between days. So now I catch myself trying to swipe and oops, I need to go up to the top to go to next page. Perhaps this is something that might be possible in the future? 2. I could write something on a page in the weekly view and then see that in the daily viewing or vice versa throughout monthly, daily, weekly view. Although…as I think more about it, I can see how your way might actually be a nice option too. Because perhaps I’d like to use my weekly view for something different and so need a clean slate there….Hmmm so this maybe isn’t a big deal. Also, I’ve seen other reviewers mention issues with typing text. I never use that feature. The whole point is that this is for pencil use, so I hand write all my stuff. I don’t care about the text option. But I guess it’s nice to have. I CANNOT wait to see what other options you are developing for the future. This is very exciting! (Oh - iCloud backup would be a nice feature!)

    ***Aug 22 update - WOW, you’ve already added in 2 of the items I requested for future development! Y’all are incredible. Thanks!! Can’t wait to enjoy your continued development.

  • Weird bug?

    I weirdly can’t change the text size when using the text box tool. If I want to change the size, I have to first make a box, then click on the font size I want, then delete that box, then make a new text box, and then the text size will be the one I chose. Everything else works fine though - not quite sure what’s going on.

  • Just a few small things missing

    The only thing I wish this had was drag and drop in the calendar and a completely blank page without lines or dots. Otherwise it's great.
