To be honest, I was a little concerned purchasing this app. Their advertising is very female oriented, the reviews also, and I wasn't interested in stickers of cats all over my planner and notebook. But I took the risk, and I'm glad I did. This app is a true game-changer in the way it allows you to manipulate PDFs, and especially the built in planner/journal. It has changed my work flow for the better. It would be nice if it had more common PDF reader features as well, but not a huge deal.

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.

Hello, can you please add ability to change folder colors rather than just blue. I would also like for each notebook to have a cover page option; that is the ability to set a certain page as a default in The Notebook. As an option two in this case. While maintaining the other option where it opens on the last page previously viewed. I also think you should add unlimited within page scrolling. Otherwise this is a very interesting and unique app that I just purchased. Thanks.

Nice app for digital planning! One suggestion I have is to allow a single page view. I am using this on a phone (note 10 plus) and having just one page view would make it easier on a phone (less zooming). Also, having a choice for vertical toolbar (on left or right side) would be great. My top toolbar has icons being overlapped that I cannot see. If it was vertical, it would allow more icons to show without me having to change orientation.

I bought this app last year to start my digital planner. It's been pretty good for the most part, my only complaint I've had it can be glitchy/buggy. The fonts won't stay/ change when I want. The text box contents will even delete on their own if I try and move them from where I typed them on the page. I've had issues with my keyboard also not registering when I try and type. It got a little frustrating. Overall it works well just needs to work on the kinks hope it gets an update soon.

True syncing capabilities!! I don't know why, but it is difficult to find a pdf note-taking annotation app that has cloud syncing capabilities that allow you to edit the same document across multiple devices. Perfect for Etsy digital planners. Highly recommend, very much worth paying the one-time cost!! EDIT: Lacks bookmark function. Would be extremely useful if added!!

This app is amazing. It's optimized for digital planning, but useful for typical pdf annotation as well! The interface is perfect. It's simple and user friendly, yet packed with tools. The free planners are great! I would love to see cross-device synching, an eyedropper tool, dark mode, tabs to swap between two files, a way to add a new blank layer, and the ability to import multiple stickers at once without having to import a whole folder. Looking forward to updates! ♡

It's literally my favorite app to take digital notes. It's extremely easy to use, the planner templates that come with it are super cute, and the palm rejection is AMAZING. My tablet came noteshelf free, and I don't regret paying for this at all. I love it! The only thing I would put in the app is the option to sync the documents into other platforms like one drive.

So far so good! I was using a free app, but I'm glad I decided to try this! Editing and adding to my digital planner after creating it in Canva has been so much easier. I do wish there was an option to set the text alignment to left, right, or center so my text can look a little nicer, and also have the ability for stickers and fonts to sync... but so far, I am enjoying it!

I like this app a lot. I really wish that the button on my sPen could erase without breaking my flow, and that I had the option to either erase the stroke as it seems to be now, or more precise. As it is, it's a pain to stop what I'm doing every time I need to fix a mistake and change the selected tool and then I have to just delete the whole thing and start again. I would also like to be able to export the pdf, and/or save backups to my cloud service.

Was really excited and looked amazing! Was not amazing. :( I bought it and started, it is not user friendly and the type text option would not work (I made sure to rewatch the tutorial to make sure I was doing it right. I was, just a glitch) and I couldn't zoom in enough to write small enough for the slots. I think I am done trying to make it work... really sad about this and wish I could get my money back. Very disappointed.

This app is soooo finicky and over hyped. All I want to do is covert my handwriting to legible text with custom font for studying. That's it. and it's like the biggest hassle ever. The cursor moves all over the place for no reason & mixes up all my notes. I'm spending more time editing & correcting than writing. This is for my galaxy tab9 fe. If I can find another app that has just this feature I'd ditch this one in a heartbeat

12/27/23: Finally getting the hang of this thing. I have multiple notebooks. Now I have over 50k stickers. Uploading is very easy BUT please make a way to reorganize the tabs 01/18/24: The sync function is so annoying. In order to sync all your items, you must hit sync on both. Sometime it gives you the option to sync/ keep "both, local or cloud" but doesn't fully explain. I've chosen the "cloud option" &the wrong items synced or the item(s) didn't sync and deleted my newest edits.

Love the app! Feeds the technology beast while also letting me paper plan. Hopeful for some added features similar to "good" notes apps on iOS that suck on Android like multiple windows open at once within the app, or allowing the app to have two instances running in two separate windows in split screen mode or similar for using copy/paste from a sticker book to planner instead of loading them all in the folders...I like to be able to see them larger and organize a really strange way.

I like it a LOT more than Samsung Notes. However, there are some small annoyances with it. I love that I can use custom fonts, but because I use them, I use a LOT of individual text boxes. It's annoying to have to tap the select tool to deselect the current text box and then switch back to the text tool to select a new one. I'd like to just tap outside of the current text box to deselect it. Also, I love being able to change text spacing, but it only lets you increase the space, not decrease. 😥

Best note taking app that I've tried! It is easy to use and has lots of tutorials on Youtube. I keep my notes well organized now! Although, there is a little detail that is uncomfortable to me. When I select a tool (text, for example), I can't move through the note nor zoom in or out unless I unselect that tool. I hope that they can add a setting to be able to move while a tool is selected. Nevertheless, great note taking app! It was worth the payment.

I keep coming back to this app works well in split screen to drag stickers from Samsung notes although I do keep my most used stickers in the penly. I don't like to keep a lot because I have lost some in the past so I just make my sticker books in Samsung notes. Syncing I wish it would just auto sync when opening and closing the app. I guess that's Google drive for you I think it would sync better with drop box or one drive for auto sync. Love it tried iPad and other apps Penly is my go to great

I really like the App, I don't like to buy apps but this one is worth it, it is fun, easy to understand and use...To add a couple of things would be awesome: voice recording and planner shortcut (widget) in main screen... I tried to use the line tool in the shape section and doesn't draw anything, the rest works perfect, I don't know if it is because I use the app in my phone

I love this planner app so very much. It surpasses Samsung Notes with how much you can customize. I have a Note 9, Android 10, and UI 2.5. Pros: the level of customization; importing fonts; MAKING LINKS TO OTHER PAGES IN THE SAME NOTEBOOK. Cons: not very intuitive (some options are hidden in certain tools). Overall this is worth the money ❤ If you had the same problem as me where you couldn't use your finger, calibrate your finger instead of the SPen (thanks to customer service for the help)!

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.
