Palu

Palu is the best app. Finger writing input is fast and easy. Updates between ipad and phone. I would be happy to pay for it. Highly recommended.

The best!

It’s so easy to use, it’s so flexible, and it’s free! I hope it always stays this way. Easy, simple, and the absolute best!

I wish we could have widgets though. It would be pretty handy to have my plans on my home screen so I don’t forget.

Thanks for the cool app though!

Not working

Won’t let me share my calendar. Nothing happens when I press the button

Very Useful to share events and plans

We find it very handy to share joint appointments within the family.
Mostly use one member’s as the master and edit that for all to see what’s coming up.
Find the updating a bit slow and have to wait for the month to build day by day before you can be sure you are up to date.
Pencil n the iPad is great but finger writing on the iPhone is a bit clumsy but works….
Been using it for years now.

Great calendar but not sure what the A B stand for?

Great idea and handy calendar but I’m not sure what the A and B are on every month? Is there a way to turn this off please?

What does it stand for please?

Closest to paper

Easy to use, no complications, simple. You write on a magnified version so using finger like a kid is equal to pencil use. It shrinks and fits boxes same either way. Nice idea. I would love to see a top layer over entire calendar allowing me to draw at a monthly overview. Like if I wanted to draw a line over multiple dates. With a toggle on/off to show hide this. And a highlighter. I often go back in my paper calendar and highlight all times I recorded a specific action over a month. Very basic feature that shouldn’t be difficult. This would exactly replace paper versions with that monthly view ability. I would pay for that feature complete version.

Great for our business

We use this calendar to schedule crews and the multiple calendar function is very useful considering we have 6 crews. We’d like to work with the developer to introduce more helpful features such as viewing all 6 calendars at once, a true black background with white mark-ups, and an additional blank tab for taking notes. Overall it is a useful app for us but would definitely like to see more features and improvements in the near future.

Ok, Improvements Needed

I am a big fan of the handwriting aspect, and especially the fun stickers. I think it would be nice to have an option to type sometimes if you want to. I know that there are countless other calendars in which you type, but I think it would be nice to have the option of either typing or writing. I often find that the eraser is very glitchy, when I try to erase something, it does not work. Then when I draw over it, some of it erases. I find it very confusing and irritating. Once more, I am a big fan of the stickers, and as such I would like to see more. And I think my biggest recommendation is to add a size changer on the pens or pencils. I think that it would improve it very much and make it better to use.

everything is great except…

i don't know how to undo once i've written something so i just have to erase everything every single time 😭😭 so can someone please inform me on how to do so 🙏

Almost perfect

This might seem like an odd review for a “handwriting calendar” but…I tried DOZENS of calendars. They are all complicated, not very user friendly. Palau is simple and intuitive. If you’ve used paper calendars, you can use this. but it misses the mark for me. If only they added an option to add a text box…yes, I know, it’s not really what it’s sold as. But it just ends up looking very messy. It’s a lot harder to have good penmanship when writing with your finger. It’s a little better on a tablet because you have the space to write, but on a small screen, it really sucks. I would PAY for an app with this interface that I can just type in. It’s a little irksome that It’s so close…but there’s no cigar☹️
