Love It or List It ๐
Some users absolutely adore Penly for digital planning and journaling, finding it intuitive and even comparing it to Goodnotes. ๐๐ Many appreciate the quick cloud syncing, free planners, and the variety of fonts and stickers. A happy customer said, "LOVE IT โค๏ธ use it every day!"
Oh Notes, Where Is Thy Functionality? ๐
However, not all is glitter and gold. One user hilariously complained, "I paid for this app, it started good, but now... it's blank white sheets!" ๐ณ White paper isn't exactly inspiring, eh?
Gripes and Groans ๐
The app does have some issues:

Overall Conclusion
The user base is divided: Some can't live without it, while others would rather feed it to the Kraken. Choose your side wisely. โ๏ธ
"The application is excellent. But there is no way to save long notes. It is a paper and you cannot take a copy of an article from a website, for example, and paste it into a note. Search ๐ option is fake: And when i searched by any word was writed , can't find anything. I'm sorry Please help me to refund to get my money back."
"I've been using this app in lieu of Samsung notes for years. I use it to digitally plan, and journal. While Samsung notes has some features Penly does not have like recognize handwriting and align or convert to text after you've handwritten notes. (Penly does allow handwriting to text but you have to select the option first.) However, I find this app more intuitive and easier to use when Journaling. With the updates just released, the app now rivals Goodnotes, functionality and I love it."
"Love this app-the developers are great, responsive and helpful. I love that it syncs to the cloud and opens quickly."
"I paid for this app, it started good but now the app is no longer usable as I can type or write. I am staring at blank white sheet now..."
"good app๐โจ"
"app is nice hoping to have this on ios device"
"Things that could improve: -Autosync would be great -Clean page when I want to take content. I don't want to see what page I'm on put of how many, it's not aesthetic - tools and page number bar to hide itself -There's issues with the undo and redo button. One of my biggest annoyances. If I made a mistake I use the undo button and sometimes I undo twice or more then when I redo, it doesn't recover everything it would skip some and recover some then you have to re do whatever it didn't recover."
"Meh"
"A primitive bare bones app. The planner thing is neat but the sharing data with third parties is a real downer. Like other reviewers have stated it's quite flawed."
"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!!!"
"LOVE IT โค๏ธ use it everyday Updates are fantastic"
"I absolutely love this app! The fact that they will soon upgrade it can just make it even better! I am looking forward to seeing the new coming features!"
"I got Goodnotes free for a year with my Samsung tabletb so I tried it before paying for Penly. The lack of features was so frustrating that I only used it for a day before getting Penly. This is a wonderful app and I was so happy that I could copy pages from one notebook to another and move my pages around. Beyond that, it has great functionality and I'm all ready for the Maskelife digital notebook release in November. Definitely worth the money to support such a great app!"
"I use samsung s24 ultra, I'm satisfied with this app. A few things i wish will be added: textured brushes, relaxing pen noises when writing, bg remover, change image opacity, pressure sensitivity with brushes, turn handwriting into text even after writing.. thanks.. best app so far"
"No option to date the calender. This is useless for me and a loss of money"
"Although I do love the features of this app, but there are some real flaws. I've been using this for more than a year now, so I've given it a good shot. Unfortunately it is extremely glitch. I'll be adding notes to a planner and then it will freeze the entire tablet. Often the screen will begin moving on its own and won't stop opening random pages until I shut down the tablet. Even just closing the app doesn't work. I also wish it would sync across devices. The available feature does not work."
"This is the best app Lenovo Tablet and pen. You can open pdf, create folders, download fonts, insert images, create blank, point or ruled pages. The things that could improve to be perfect is the writing to text recognition, doesn't work very well if you want to use as your way of writing would be impossible. Other thing would be having the function to centralize the texts, so your words don't be flying all over the page. And sharing the pdf created on the app doesn't work. Hope they fix this."
"I want refund i thought the app will be fun but it's not that fun there is very limited stickers i have to manually add stickers which is not what i knew"
"I find this really difficult to work on.i bought it yesterday. How can I cancel it?"
"Not made for phones. Honestly, I wish I could get a refund for it because it's not user-friendly unless you're using a tablet with a stylus pen. Do not recommend. There's another journal app that's free and it's better than this."
