### 1/5 — WTH

*2025-09-25*

not what I thought it would be

### 3/5 — minimalist but too minimal

*2025-06-04*

i love a minimal aesthetic, where it’s not too cluttered and overwhelming, but it could use more features. other than adding a way to see it by month or week, being able to add more than one marker would be cool. it’s nice to be able to trial it before being able to use the app, but if i’m going to make a one time purchase, i’d like for it to unlock more than just unlimited edits.

### 4/5 — Great planner

*2024-12-04*

Is their any possibility of making a monthly view. Having a year is great and all but being able to see a whole month would be great. Still an awesome app.

### 5/5 — Great Idea, Works Well, Very Minimal

*2024-09-29*

This is such a unique planner app and one I’ve been looking for forever, almost. This app works great, however, I really really wish there was a way to switch between a few different views. It would be nice to be able to view maybe just a single week at a time, or even just a single day.

### 5/5 — That’s what I want

*2024-04-23*

I was trying to create this frame in excel …finally found with pencil access

### 1/5 — Not much features

*2024-04-08*

There could be different size to calnder to allow you to write what you can

### 3/5 — Sehr guter Ansatz

*2024-03-13*

Vom Prinzip genau das, was ich suche!
Leider ohne Jahr 2025 eher unbrauchbar. Auch eine Markierung der Wochenenden und Feiertage währe mehr als wünschenswert.

**Developer response:** Hallo und vielen Dank für die Nachricht und Bewertung. Ich füge die nächsten Jahre im nächsten Update hinzu. Bzgl. der Wochenenden mache ich mir ebenfalls Gedanken. Feiertage müsste man aktuell selbst über die Farbkodierung der Legende markieren (z.B. eine Farbe für Feiertage nutzen). Ich hoffe dies hilft Ihnen weiter :) Vielen Dank und viele Grüße

### 1/5 — Jahr

*2023-10-07*

Kein weiters Jahr 2024,2025,2026……. 
Umsonst 7,99€ bezahlt

**Developer response:** Hallo und danke für Ihre Rezension. Wir werden in dem nächsten Herbstupdate das Jahr 2024 hinzufügen. Viele Grüße
