Penly is a really unique app. The flexibility to change fonts and hand writes them is amazing! I'm using it on my samsung tab and I'm loving it! However, for the price I paid, it would be bette if you support the "handwriting to text" feature in Japanese language. I also would have prefered if you have a button to record audio while writing notes (like samsung notes or goodnotes). Other than that, the app is definitely worth trying.
Reviews for Penly: Digital Planner & Notes
really love this app for my digital planning. I was wasting so much money on paper planners I was never using and this is really helping me keep my life organized. I wish there was a way to flip images/stickers to it's a mirror image in app (vs editing in another app & uploading to penly). it would also be really cool if there was a way to lock images/stickers on the page.
I'm still learning how to use this app but so far I love it! It communicates with multiple devices so you can edit on one device and it will update on all if you tell it to. I *really* wish there was a PC version though. I have smaller devices so it can be tedious to edit things and it would be extremely beneficial if I could also have this on my laptop.
It's a good app with a lot of potential. Hoping they will add ability to copy and paste text both within and external to the app. E.g copying and pasting text from Penly into your browser or into your calendar app. Also, on android, if you're using a Happy Downloads planner with Google calendar links, Penly doesn't open the links with your Google calendar app. It only opens into a web browser and then you have to login to Google from the browser.
Awesome. They were so thoughtful creating the app. PENLY HAS BEEN MY LIFE SAVER for digital scrapping and such. I can load my deco in the sticker section and upload different planners or scrapbooks. My handwriting is atrocious in any app but Penly has given me the ability to import fonts which is great. I can't figure out if there's a way to flatten things, but I'll get it! Coming from one PDF app that was all free for a long time and then it was sold and they want to charge $108 a year. No Ads
Non rainbow color available! I almost didn't purchase your app for my husband to try because all the photos show rainbow colors, which I kinda like. You would probably get more male buyers if you add a photo of the black notebook. The different notebook colors were not easy to notice in the photos. Will update stars after I try the app. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
App is great, but lost two stars because it *needs* dark mode and a way to bulk-import fonts (adding and sorting them one at a time is a PITA). Otherwise, very easy and fun to use. I've used it to make stickerbooks, my D&D character's journal and written letters, and a regular journal/planner for myself. ETA: Added a star for updated dark mode!!
I wish I had known about this app before... I've been using this for about a month and I'm digging it! I love that it came with free planners! The portrait planner looks so good when I pull it up on my phone! I love that it syncs. LOVE the sticker folders! The ability to download different fonts. The only thing that would make this app more amazing is if we could paste stickers from native keyboard. Amazing app for the price!!!
I don't know if there was a recent update, but all of a sudden I'm not able to import photos from gallery view on my Samsung Galaxy tab. It was working great before, now the import screen looks different, and I have to scroll through a ton of photos to find the correct image I want. (I keep 6 months of kits/stickers on my device.) Please fix this. I don't want to have to change apps.
Too Monotonus for me, it takes too much to insert a picture or change color of pen, etc. for this to be a useful journal for me, its just too much especially since there is no app for windows. I rather just stick with pen and paper. There is a lot of customization that can be done with this app, which is a plus but it needs a Windows based app as well.
