Pencil Planner & Draw Calendar

I really enjoy this app because I love being able to draw in my schedule like I am writing on a paper planner. I think it is well worth the purchase, especially since one-year paper planners are around $15. It is very use-friendly and easy to navigate through. One thing I wish could be improved is the pen drawing features. I like decorating my planner with colorful pens so I wish there were a continuous color wheel on which to select colors instead of pre-existing choices. Also, it would be nice if other certain colors could be saved so that I don’t have to search in the larger selection everytime. Lastly, I think it would be really cool if the app had a selection of stickers that we could use, like stars, hearts, etc. or if there were special ink colors, like patterns or glitter.

This app is amazing for teachers. Previously I was using google calendar, but just wasn’t pleased with being able to see my day view in a meaningful way and notes for each day. This app fixes that! It is so easy and natural writing on this calendar. There are only a few things that REALLY need improving. First, (and this is a small complaint) I wish that when I zoomed in the template would not be blurry. I expected it to be a vector image. Second, I really need a way to export the page without just taking a screen shot. I need a good high quality export. Next, I wish that some drawings would automatically appear from one view to another such as from the month view to the week view to the day view. Lastly, I wish that this app had better syncing and a dedicated iPhone app. The iPhone app could be less detailed, and take up more of the screen. As of now, it is pretty hard to see on a small phone. Also, If this app had a Mac app (or preferably a website) that I could look at my writings on my computer for free, I would definitely give this 5 stars. Seriously a great app though. I will plan to use it for the near future!

Thank you for creating a digital planner to work with the Apple Pencil that doesn’t require you to go inside the date to write something and then back out to see it. I greatly appreciate all of the features especially the pencil and paper feel. BTW - the Grid view is really cool which was a wonderful surprise. Couple of ideas: If you ever get a chance to add a couple blank tabs after the grid tab to allow for full size notes, that would be amazing. If those note tabs could have an option of blank, ruled, and grid paper, that would be really cool. If those tabs could be customizable, that would be very helpful. Meanwhile, I love everything about this app. It has become my #1 iPad digital organizer. Thanks again!!!

I stumbled upon this app and I’m so glad I did. Within a day I had transferred my bullet journaling into the app. Within two days I could feel the app becoming ‘essential’ --- to the point where I actually worried about the app going away. For me that’s a sure sign that an app is making a real contribution to my life. I found Pencil Calendar intuitive to use. The UI/UX is professionally and thoughtful designed. Sync between my devices is quick and reliable and, most important, I’ve not experienced any data loss. I’m really pleased that I made the plunge investing in this new app. The dev team seems excited about the potential this app and I am too.

This app does exactly what it claims to do, and it does it well. I have an older iPad, and I appreciate the “Performance Drawing” setting, which allows the Apple Pencil to function better on older iPads. This is a really well conceived, well executed app. Worth the money, especially when you consider it’s cheaper than a basic physical/paper planner. One note: it would be great if there were a full-screen function. The tabs along the top and the back/forward arrows on the left/right ear up a lot of space. It would be great if a future update allowed you to zoom into just the the content of the app, removing the navigation.
