Very good app

I keep coming back to this app when my life gets a bit hectic. Have been using it since 2020.
Using my pencil to plan my week in weekly view gets me back on track. No fiddly start times or end times, just write on the day with your own handwriting what you need to do. I seldom use the daily view since retiring as I don’t need that detailed planning every day. But it is there if I need it.
A sync to a phone app would be great!

THE perfect planner!

I downloaded way too many planners before I found this one. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for! It is a true digital planner. It’s a paper planner in digital form. Some may not like its simplicity but I don’t want to draw all over my planner. I just need to write my schedule and goals. I could not be happier!

Thank you so much for your review! Sorry for the delayed reply. I’m really happy to hear that the planner is exactly what you were looking for. Hope you continue to enjoy it!

Excellent

Take time to learn this as what you pay and what you get is vfm. The bundle makes even better value

My favorite planner

I use this app like an old school goals journal. This app isn’t meant to be an appointment reminder, you’ve got google calendar for that. I absolutely love this app because it allows me to view my day’s goals easily; from general goals, food, to overall schedule. This reminds me of my academic journal in grade school and the beautiful color scheme I genuinely love. Good job all around to app creator.

Not worth the money

I purchased the bundle and it’s not worth the money…I thought once you purchased everything would be in the one organiser but they are 3 different books. Trying to write in the calendar and it switches pages….not reliable….waste of money

排版设计很可爱

十分实用，用了很久。但是还说希望可以加入更多选择，比如说选择一周开始的第一天是周日还说周一，家里的calendar都是周日开始的，这个是周一，每次都要反应。很多次都写错，差点误事。

Requested Refund Denied!

The customer serviced received by Lu Zhang was bland! Explained the app did not meet my expectations for personal/business use. I did not have the app for long as i honestly did not like the set up and functions on this app! Do not recommend this app as they do not offer a free trial and practically do not care for customer service. I would have gave it a no star… the bundle itself is not worth the 8$ found a better digital planner with way many more options and a 30 day free trial for 3$ more, definitely do research before purchasing this one!

Hello, sorry the app did not meet your expectations. However, we have never denied any refund request - we do not have the ability to do so even if we wanted to since all refund requests are handled by Apple. If you would like a refund you may apply via Apple.

Look a little closer

I took a long time to decide on what calendar to use as planning out a long holiday. Finished entering all my holiday plans ideas and travel information. I then went looking for this app on my iPhone but was unable to find it. During my search I had not thought that this app would only work on the iPad and not link up with my iPhone so that I could read everything on each one depending on situation and what works best as my iPad is huge. So all I can say is it is a fantastic app to use on the iPad but frustrating that I can’t use across my Apple products, but in saying this now I’ve gone back and found one that does my iPad iPhone and iwatch So I will be switching over.

Had to knock one star off due to non connectivity to my other devices.

HORRIBLE PRODUCT DONT BUY IT

I purchased all the apps having problems with it I connected with the developer and didn’t get a response I am deleting the app and requesting a refund

Worthless App. Not worth it

5 years ago

Although cute, not really useful

The graphics are charming, but the app is rather useless. Tiny boxes, difficult to see colors, all in all rather juvenile. True it is not that expensive, but I still wanted to get my money back. There are a lot of better choices out there.

Do not waste your money!

This application does not sync with my online calendar, to do list, and journal. It does not give you the option to type. When you write, you have to make the screen big so you have enough space to write.

A little disappointed

I think it’s cute but I can’t really freely move around in the app and doesn’t function as smoothly with pencil and space as it could. I think this app just need to be upgraded but I could see this has a lot of potential

Hi tvjhhh, thanks for your review. Sorry I’m not quite clear from this what the issue about moving around the app you are having, but if you can send us a message from the support link inside the app we’d be very happy to help you out. Thanks!

Very helpful app!

I use this app every day for work! It is easy and straightforward to use, the only thing I wish I could do is download this on my phone as well. I am not always able to get to my iPad but I do always have my phone on me. It would be nice to be able to pull up the planner on my phone if I need to see what I have scheduled and am not near my iPad. but overall this is a great app and definitely worth the money!

Thanks for the nice review Daisy_Bud! Sorry it’s only available for iPad but hope you understand.

Simple yet so effective!

I really love this app.I love how you can do monthly weekly, and daily calendar planning with your apple pencil!!I looked for so many calendar apps and finally determined this is the one. It helps me stay on track and I get so excited every night to plan my next day out! Somethings I would love to see in the future: when you zoom in, the resolution stays the same, and maybe if there were some sticker packs? That would be awesome! highly recommend.

This is a good app!

Simplistic design. I like the app.

Improvements I would like to see -
A lot of space is wasted around the calendar, the update should enable calendar or writable space as a full screen to take advantage of iPad.

Hi User_DT, thanks very much for your kind review and feedback 👍 I understood your point about the additional screen space and sorry we don’t have that feature at the moment. Maybe you already did, but just in case you didn’t know you can pinch to zoom into the calendar so it will take up the whole of the screen if you wish. Maybe not exactly what you are requesting but hope it might help to start 😀

Fun but needs integration

I loved the idea of this app but I need some features to fully maximize it. I wish I could sync it with the apple calendar and that when I write I could have it use the new scribble feature and covert to text.

Hi, thanks so much for your kind review and suggestions! :)

I like, but needs some extra items

I really enjoy this appoint I do wish there was an option to make your handwriting smaller. The days are pretty small and I am only able to fit one thing on each day. I am hoping this is already a feature, but I cannot find it if it is.

Hi Finn, thanks for your review and feedback! About the handwriting size, if you tap a second time on the pen you have chosen you will get a little menu pop-up which allows you to adjust the pen width; hope that will be helpful for you. Also, maybe you know already, but if you tap on any of the daily/weekly numbers on the calendar page you will go to a dedicated page just for that day/week, so you will have lots more space to write; you are not limited just to the little box. Thanks again!

Okay but not good enough.

It would be great if every day also had a blank page for infinite possibilities. If not for everyday at least for every month few blank pages to track different things. Please get this.

I love this app

But does it not sync with the iPhone? I love it on my iPad but would love to have it on my iPhone so I can sync and view it on the fly.

Hi WHITE G0LD, thanks very much for your nice review and feedback. Yes I’m afraid currently the app is only available for iPad as our main use-case is for Apple Pencil input. Hope you will still continue to enjoy using it on your iPad for now :)
