Very responsive, very good design, simple but useful. Important missing things: Search functionality must improve. Otherwise why move digital, when we can write on paper. On limited search it does not highlight the word it finds. Please work on these topics, this can be THE DIGITAL NOTEBOOK.

Estaría perfecta si agregaran vista de la hoja en pantalla completa o poder esconder la barra de lápices porque a veces tapa la hoja y es incómodo estarla moviendo

I can't delete my pages now. I even sent feedback email to the developer about how things can be improved but they didn't even respond. So I give one star.

I have been using this app since Dec 2023 and have loved it — until just recently. I downloaded the latest iPad OS and about the same time Penbook did a big upgrade. The app hasn’t worked well since then. It freezes up or goes to a new page very slowly. I have contacted support numerous times and have gotten little to no help. I have a lot of material I don’t want to lose — otherwise I might consider just deleting the app. I am hoping by putting this review here that somebody will help me with this issue!

This app falls short by: -No way to create calendar events and tasks/reminders -Awkward ui for changing page order -Awkwardly having to edit page layouts individually -Limited page templates, e.g; none for budgeting or meal planning -Automatic page and date repetition is buggy/inconsistent in the create journal section -Can’t change page order in create journal section without having to delete sections -Unable to finger draw when I don’t have my apple pen. Also extremely difficult to add text -Can’t create own colour pallets for pen writing Would love to purchase premium if more features are added and a better ui which makes editing journals easier cause $40 a year or $80 is steep for such an awkward app

The app is great, I’m very picky when it comes to interface and the design of apps and such, and this app is visually appealing, ergonomic and intuitive, but you only get 1 notebook with the free version, which frankly is disappointing. Just another example of companies monetizing everything. I appreciate the experience though.

It’s a very nice app, but it’s been crashing easily since the new update. To be more specific, long pressing tools always causes the app to crash and turns off my iPad.

Apple Pencil users will love the new dynamic canvas for writing all the way down to the bottom of the page. The new minimap is faster than ever, and can be expanded to instantly preview your entire notebook. (This minor update adds a new yearly planner for 2026.)
