### 4/5 — My favourite app now for planning

*2026-09-07, version 4.3.2*

Totally enjoyed using this app till the most recent update (where I couldn’t erase what I’ve written wrongly). Please fix it. I’d love the rest of the functionality

### 3/5 — App won't sync between devices, can't reach support

*2026-08-11, version 4.1.3*

I tried going to the support website but the site appears to be down and I can't find an email address.  I've been using this app for a while with no issues but now my iPad and iPhone won't sync between devices.  Some of my notes/drawings will, but it's sporadic and unpredictable.  I'd just like to contact support to see if there is a way to fix it but can't reach them.  Hoping to hear back here and will change my review if we can fix this thanks!

### 3/5 — It’s has potential but

*2026-07-28, version 4.1.0*

It has potential but the app needs more work. It needs  a dark mode, you should be able to change the background to black or gray, it’s easier on the eyes.
The spellcheck should be able to work with apple spellcheck.
I do like the app and is of now will continue to use it. But I hope they do some updates,upgrades sooner then later. Again I think it has a lot of potential.

### 3/5 — Really want to like this calendar, but…

*2026-07-23, version 4.0.0*

There’s little things, like why can’t i edit a calendar event? I still find myself going back to the generic calendar app to do some operations that this one cannot do. And that is very frustrating.

### 4/5 — Could be more efficient

*2026-03-06, version 3.2.0*

Needs notifications

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2026-01-12, version 3.2.0*

Out of all the planner apps out there this one is pretty good. I just wish they had more sticker options so i can build my own templates better. Yes this app has a lot of thing laid out for you but if i want to make a check list or simply add straight lines to my page, there is not an option to do so. And as someone who loves bullet journaling i just wish there were more customizable options

### 3/5 — Useful & practical

*2025-12-30, version 3.2.0*

Great app for keeping daily weekly and monthly agenda. The notes feature is awesome, just open notes page and begin. I only gave it a 3 because it has a few difficulties that should be fixed. When you zoom in on screen size it sometimes gets glitchy and have to restart app to get the full size back. Also, highlighter covers ink color, does not go behind it. Events listed on day, week, or month do not show on all of them -would be best if daily event would show on all calendar options. Finally, importing google calendar works but can be glitchy and list items twice or have dates offset by a day or so. Otherwise useful and practical app.

### 4/5 — Could be more efficient

*2025-12-20, version 3.2.0*

Everytime I open the app it is not auto opened to the day or konth. Need a widget as well to see either the day or upcoming week.

### 5/5 — A must have productivity tool

*2025-12-17, version 3.2.0*

The best planner I’ve ever used. It feels just like a classic notebook. I only have one request; please make a version for MacBook and Apple Watch as well. Sometimes I just need to quickly check my tasks on the go.

### 5/5 — Top quality planner app

*2025-12-17, version 3.2.0*

This is the simplest and most convenient planner for handwriting task and notes. The only thing I would improve is the ability to duplicate or repeat weekly tasks more easily. For example, a recurring yoga session. I’ve already written to your support team. If you have a way to implement this features, please let me know.

### 1/5 — Total bakwas

*2026-09-01*

Total useless app,

**Developer response:** Hi! We’re sorry to hear the app didn’t meet your expectations. We’re continuously improving it, and we’d really appreciate it if you could share what didn’t work for you. Your feedback helps us make the app better.

### 1/5 — Bad customer service

*2026-08-04, version 4.1.1*

Still have issues with sync already did everything such as make sure my iCloud has space re start my devices even deleting  app and contacted customer service but haven’t hear back

### 1/5 — Very hard to use

*2026-07-03, version 3.2.0*

I’m not liking that it is not very user friendly.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-05-13, version 3.2.0*

Have to pay for any of the templates

### 1/5 — Planner

*2026-03-12, version 3.2.0*

Horrible lost all my data within one week after it took me days to enter

### 1/5 — Non fonctionnel

*2026-03-10, version 3.2.0*

50 % des fonctions sont non utilisable donc 39.99 pour rien très déçu.

### 1/5 — Payment issues

*2026-02-16, version 3.2.0*

Love the app. However, I was charged $50, when it clearly says $29.99. Then I cancelled the subscription so I wouldn’t be charged next year. That gives me a year to decide if I like the app still. And now it’s telling me to restore my payment. There’s no way y’all are ripping people off. This has to be a glitch. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. But seriously, fix my stuff please.

### 1/5 — The App is good but not usable across devices

*2026-01-23, version 3.2.0*

Plus their support is absolutely terrible.  I have emailed them three times now with zero response.  Emailed directly and through their website.  They cancelled my account before my year had expired - DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS BOGUS APP.  I’m out $30 right now.

I am running this on my iPad which works well.  I tried to access it on my phone to check what I needed to do that day and was prompted to pay again for that copy.  This is NOT cross platform compatible - if that is important to you, then I would use a different one.

There is a 7 day trial and I thought that they would respond to my question before that ended but they did not so I was charged.  But it fits my needs right now on my iPad .  I just do not plan on renewing after the year is up.  There are better option!

### 1/5 — Gotcha app

*2026-01-12, version 3.2.0*

Download for free but need to purchase subscription to fully use it

### 1/5 — Downloaded app to phone, entries did not sync from tablet to phone???

*2026-01-12, version 3.2.0*

Does it sink between tablet and phone.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — A team that genuinely listens to its users

*2026-09-15, version 4.4.0*

I’ve been really impressed with the Digital Planner team. Whenever I’ve contacted support about an issue, they’ve responded quickly and actually fixed the problems I reported. It’s great to see a team that genuinely listens to its users and keeps improving the app. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Everything I need without the clutter

*2026-09-08, version 4.3.3*

I’ve been really enjoying this planner. It’s simple, well organized, and has everything I need without feeling cluttered. One thing I’d really love to see is a dark mode. I often plan my next day in the evening, and the bright screen can be a bit much at night. A dark theme would make the app much more comfortable to use in low light. Hope this gets added in a future update!

### 5/5 — A planner I genuinely enjoy using

*2026-08-25, version 4.2.0*

Really enjoying this planner, simple, clean and lovely to use for handwritten notes. Would be great to see more pen styles added in future, with a few different writing and drawing options. That would make it even better!

### 5/5 — Simple setup and works really well for me

*2026-04-29, version 3.2.0*

Really solid planner app. Clean setup, easy to use, no overcomplicated stuff which is nice tbh. One thing that would make it way better is stronger copy/paste support from other apps or websites into the planner and notes. Like dragging pics straight in, moving stickers, copying text, links, lists, screenshots, all that kinda stuff. Sometimes I find something online and wanna drop it right into my plans fast.

### 5/5 — Proper useful app for everyday planning

*2026-04-21, version 3.2.0*

Proper lovely planner app, really easy to use and spot on for organising daily life. The layout is clean, simple, and there’s no unnecessary faff, which I really appreciate. 
One thing that would make it even better is built-in grammar and style checking. Sometimes I quickly write notes or messages and only notice spelling mistakes later. It would be brilliant if the app could automatically correct small errors, suggest better wording, and improve sentence flow while keeping my original meaning. Even a simple option to review text before saving would be smashing.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-02-22, version 3.2.0*

This has everything I need AND they're accessible, I love the tabs for notes, calendar, etc that are so easy to find. I don't need to flip through page after page to find a section. The google calendar integration means I can see what's going on at work, so this app is now my all in one for work and life. It makes the work/life balance a snap. I can't wait to see if you come up with a few more pen and pencil styles (I love a pencil when taking notes). I was searching for a planner/journal that gave me options but not so many that I went down the template rabbit hole. NAILED IT.

### 5/5 — Routine Planning User

*2026-01-21, version 3.2.0*

This is one of the best digital planners for iPad I’ve used. Simple, clean, and perfect for handwriting planning with the Apple Pencils. Once feature i’d love to see added is shape recognition: if you draw a line or circle and hold the pencil for a couple of seconds, it automatically becomes perfectly straight or smooth. That would make notes and layouts look even better.

### 5/5 — Don’t need another app!

*2026-01-17, version 3.2.0*

I use this to meal plan, chore plan, video content plan, goal plan, have a whole selection of notes organized by topic. Can literally keep my life on track thanks to this app! No other app gives me flexibility and the space to arrange many different aspects of my life in effective way. Very grateful for the team behind this app! Words can’t express the impact!

### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good Experience

*2026-01-05, version 3.2.0*

I’ve only just started using this app, and I was drawn to it because of its simplicity. The developers have essentially turned a classic notebook into a digital experience. 
I really hope it stays simple in the future and doesn’t get cluttered with unnecessary features..

### 5/5 — Ideal para la organización diaria

*2025-12-24, version 3.2.0*

Por fin he encontrado una aplicación de planificación casi perfecta para usar con el Apple Pencil. Es la única app que me permite sincronizar mi planner con las tareas del equipo a través de Google Calendar. Además, la función de colaboración y uso compartido de archivos me ha resultado muy útil.
