Reviews: What People Think About Penjo: Pencil Journal, Planner

Rating: 5/5
Seriously, just get it and pay for it to help support future development. It’s only in its infancy and yet it is exactly what I have been looking for. All the google calendar entries on each daily page which you can note, text, annotate and add images via paste or drag/drop slideover from files to your heart’s delight. Event details on tap. New calendar entries. Dynamically updating for new events. Weekly and monthly views. I have been seeking a google calendar/planner/journal iPad integration that will allow me to doodle and draw attention visually to important entries in my Google calendar — and Penjo, while still rudimentary — checks all the boxes (especially as regards drag/drop images from files as I have built an extensive clip art library). There is another app that came close, but it’s functionality for the use of outside images was cumbersome and pedantic. Another popular planner app promises “Google Calendar sync,” but delivers only a manual linking to each event. Nooooo time for that! Drag/drop was the game-changer here for me, as was the blank canvas. I know the developers have many updates in store and I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with. However as a visual artist, I have to point out that their app icon could use some polishing. It looks like it was created as an after-thought — and potential purchasers may believe the same of the app without trying it. Just my own two cents.

I’ve been looking for a journal app for a while now that didn’t try to be anything but a journaling app and when I came across this, I was overjoyed. It’s intuitive, it’s clean, it’s minimalist, and it puts you and not in app purchases at the forefront. Using this app reminds me of my black paper notebook and gel pens I used as a kid way back in the early 00s and it feels just as magical as 8 year old me remembers. I always have my iPad with me and having access to a digital journal that feels like a physical one has done wonders for my mental health and my therapist loves it too. I cannot sing the praises of this app loud enough or highly enough. Do yourself a favor and download this if you need a space to let it all out emotionally, creatively, or professionally. This is hands down the best journal app I’ve ever used. Goodnotes can take its pay to write model and kick rocks. This is incredible.

I love this app because its the only planner that syncs both ways with my apple calendar; I run two small businesses and have various apps populating my apple calendar at all times; its amazing to open my planner app and have all of it in one place. The one thing I wish that could be added, are various planner layouts - this app would be utterly perfect if it could have a journal layout that supported a habit tracker, a monthly review, a yearly goal checklist, etc, just like the goodnotes type planners, maybe even a book style layout with hyperlinked tabs. If that comes it’ll be utterly unstoppable, but for now it’s still my favorite planner app. It’s made my life easier for months
