And after Augest 1 it was fine but then it had a glitch also after Augest 2 it did that glitch I also have to use the free stickers and they are blocky but I still have to pay for this app beware this is / app in purchase /! ### 4/5 — 很好用 *2026-07-24* 很好用，基本需求都可以满足 ### 4/5 — Es buena aplicación *2026-06-22, version 10.11* El único problema es que no vincula la información de la aplicación con el teléfono. ### 3/5 — На телефоне не работает *2026-06-22* На планшете отлично, но я его с собой не таскаю, хотелось бы и на телефоне видеть задачи. Просто вылетает и всё ### 4/5 — Genau was ich gesucht habe *2026-05-28, version 10.11* + unaufgeregtes, praktisches Design + Editierbarkeit der Vorlagen + Synchronisation mit iCal-Kalendern + Sticker + keine Registrierung nötig + handschriftliche Einträge möglich (dünnere Strichstärke wäre schön) und nun endlich OCR DANKE! Wunsch: Sammlung ‚meine Sticker‘ anbieten, denn der richtige, passende Sticker ist sehr schwer zu finden … auch dieser Wunsch erfüllt … Danke + Super-Kundensupport ### 5/5 — Leuk *2026-04-04, version 9.93* Leuk app zit er vaak op ### 5/5 — Превосходно! *2026-03-30* Выражаю огромную благодарность за данное приложение! Очень давно искала планировщик, но именно ваше приложение предоставило мне даже больше возможностей, которые я хотела. 1. Всеми нужными функциями (и даже намного больше) можно пользоваться бесплатно, без подписки. Я приобрела подписку, чтобы еще больше расширить возможностей. 2. Действительно нужные, красивые и реально разнообразные шаблоны. 3. Стилус заменяется красивым рукописным шрифтом, что очень удобно. Я использовала это приложение даже для конспектов в вузе. 4. Удобный интерфейс, быстро разобралась. 5. В премиум версии можно создать набор своих стикеров, можно сделать свои обои. Можно очень долго перечислять плюсов, минусов я не выявила. Спасибо за ваши старания! ### 2/5 — 固まる *2026-03-26, version 9.93* 会議など書き止めていると、いきなり固まり字を書くことが出来ない。 どうにかして欲しい。 ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2026-03-26, version 9.92* This app has everything I was looking for. I love writing down my to-dos for the day and I love that I can do that alongside all of my digital calendar items. Other journal apps are so clunky with digital calendar importing. AJournal removed all of the convoluted steps. I wish you could import stickers, but you can pull them from your photo library. I also find the templates that you create a little confusing. Otherwise, I really love everything else. I’m happy to pay for the full version and I hope to continue to see them do good work. Edit (1/28/26) to add: I do wish the writing tools were a little better. Like the calligraphy pen could be more fine, overall if all writing tools could be a little more forgiving of penmanship, scratch out to erase would be helpful, as well as hold to draw straighten drawn lines instead of having to use the ruler. Still love the app for its main purpose. ### 3/5 — 重宝しています *2026-03-22, version 9.92* とても使い勝手が良く重宝しています。当月表示している時、前月の最終日及び来月の第1週の表示している日は入力及び記入した内容が反映されるとありがたいです。 ### 3/5 — Impossible de synchroniser *2026-03-19* J'étais plus qu'enchantée de cette appli ... Sauf que je veux maintenant la synchroniser entre iPhone et iPad ... 3h que je suis dessus. Tout essayé ... Tout bloque et revient au point de départ ! Soit RIEN ! Impossible ! Beaucoup de temps perdu et très grosse déception. Le reste est pourtant parfait. **Developer response:** Bonjour, désolé pour le désagrément.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden 👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — 更新をまっています *2026-03-11, version 9.4* ペンシルプランナーからのりかえたので ### 5/5 — Amazing Planner! *2026-03-08, version 9.9* Love love love this app on my iPad and iPhone! Love the integration also the design capabilities with the upgrade. I have completely let go of my Franklin Planner after 22 years! There are too many things that I love to list here, fantastic job to the developers, and what a nominal price for such a well done app. ### 5/5 — Honestly, I’m surprised more people don’t know about this app. *2026-03-06, version 9.9* Omg I love this app! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for for such a long time. I’ve bought so many physical and digital planners over the years and they’re never quite right. I like digital planners because there are endless stickers and ways to decorate, but I always hated that in apps like GoodNotes I couldn’t sync my calendar. This app might actually replace my reminders app and my notes app. One thing I really love is that only the pages I’ve actually used show up. I don’t feel guilty for not filling out every single page of a planner like I usually do. It makes the whole experience feel a lot more flexible and less stressful. The only issues I’ve noticed are that it glitches once in a while when I’m writing and my handwriting disappears, which can be frustrating. I also wish we could choose different fonts for the system templates, and it would be nice to have circle checkboxes as an option too. Other than that, this might finally be the planner system I stick with… hopefully lol. ### 5/5 — Funcional *2026-03-06, version 9.9* Es una herramienta muy completa solo falta pulir algunos puntos pero es buena ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m deleting *2026-06-18, version 10.11* Why can’t I buy anything I just want the word “WEEK” WHY CANT I USE IT! ### 1/5 — DO NOT Download *2026-04-09, version 9.93* This app looks cute but, it is not!!!!!!!!!!! Literally everything needs a subscription. Without it no templetes, no barley any stickers, nothing DO NOT Download this app. ### 1/5 — Dissapointed *2026-02-28, version 9.8* Free options do not consider anything shown in preview ### 1/5 — İyi yada kötü *2026-01-31, version 9.8* Bu uygulamada çok severek tuttum günümü yani ajandamı ama burada paralı şeyler var o yüzden daha çok paralı olmamasını tercih ediyorum lütfen ajanda sahibi bu stickerları parasız yapmasını rica ederim… ### 1/5 — Tiny problems and not for me *2026-01-28, version 9.7* There are some problems that make it difficult to write and I hate how you need to upgrade to get lots of things. I also hate how you have to have an Apple Pencil to use scribble because I think it’s really helpful and when you choose something like a colour or an option it closes it straight away not letting me choose other options because it make it repetitive. I’ve seen better apps and I thought it would give me benefits but it gave me condition and boredom. I wanted to decorate it but the sticker option wasn’t really advertising. Your video was good though but can you make one using the finger ?( I guess ) Yours sincerely, User of the app ### 1/5 — Makes no sense *2026-01-17, version 9.7* I can’t get it to work and it’s annoying ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time. *2026-01-09, version 9.7* WORST APP EVER. Doesn’t make sense. You can’t even delete pages after you’ve creating them. ### 1/5 — Can't add multiple pages to all days *2026-01-02, version 9.7* I see a request in the faqs to have the ability to have multiple pages automatically every day. That request was 3 years ago. How is it that I still have to add multiple pages . manually to every day? ### 1/5 — ehh…. *2025-12-07, version 9.7* its only good if you buy the subscription, it looks ugly and not pretty without the cute backgrounds so i personally would not get it ### 1/5 — 急に画面が白くなり反応しない *2025-12-04, version 9.7* 急に画面が白くなって、反応しなくなった。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 非常好用 *2026-07-26* 非常好用，适合日常任务记录，还可以做手帐 ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2026-07-24, version 10.12* I really love this app! It is perfect for me and it has lots of extremely good features. The text, the images, the backgrounds, the stickers, the pen … all perfect! The more I use the app, the more I like it. A freehand crop tool would be a great feature to add! Any chance? ### 5/5 — The best digital equivalent of a paper planner! *2026-07-13, version 10.12* I’ve been using this app for over 3 years now, and I couldn’t be happier with it. So many people ask about what this is because they still are going through paper journals every year. I love that I can look back to previous years and that I don’t have to carry more than my iPad with me. No more wasting paper every year! ### 5/5 — Great app for keeping track of daily activities. *2026-07-11, version 10.12* Simple to understand, setup and use. Also very versatile at tracking daily activities, with the ability to look back at earlier data and drop in data from outside apps. Jian, one of the creators, helped me with an update issue I was having, offered a temporary solution which worked out well. Then made another update to the overall app. For me the versatility is limitless. Thanks for creating a journal/tool that actually works with you! ### 5/5 — Update system templates *2026-06-09, version 10.11* Thank you for this! ### 5/5 — Perfect But please add Mac version *2026-05-28, version 10.11* Please add mac version of the app! ### 5/5 — Eccezionale *2026-05-27, version 10.10* È esattamente quello che cercavo. ### 5/5 — The only ipad planning tool that syncs with your apple calendar *2026-05-27, version 10.10* Love this app, helps me plan my day and week with ease using the apple pencil. Plus it shows me all my events from apple calendar. LOVE ### 5/5 — Super *2026-05-15, version 10.00* Genau das, was ich gesucht habe. ### 5/5 — 下载权限可否开放给Mac *2026-04-23* 电脑写日记会更方便，建议保存模板的时候可以加入加入的文字标签和也能保留进去，使用这个模板的时候可以点击文字框后直接键盘打字 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
