Google Cal and Pen Planner — Finally!!

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.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your detailed review and for recommending Penjo! We’re glad to hear that the app is meeting your expectations, especially with features like drag-and-drop, close integration of calendar events and the ability to annotate them. We appreciate your feedback on the app icon as well and will keep it in mind as we continue to refine our designs to better reflect the quality of Penjo.

Your insights are incredibly helpful as we continue to develop and improve the app. We have many exciting updates planned, and we can't wait for you to see what’s coming next!

Thank you again for your support and for sharing your thoughts. If you have any more suggestions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Love it + Ideas

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

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for your kind review and thoughtful suggestions! It means the world to us to hear how Penjo has been a helpful tool in managing your busy schedule.

We’re happy to share that Penjo already offers some features that might enhance your experience. Each journal includes a drawable month canvas that you can use for habit tracking. Additionally, there’s a month view available alongside the week view to help you plan effectively. Both the month view and month canvas are accessible via home widgets, providing even more convenience. You can also create multiple sheets for a single day, so for instance, you could create a dedicated sheet for January 1st as your yearly goal checklist. Plus, you can bookmark these sheets for quick access.

As for your idea about hyperlinked tabs and more planner layouts, cross-page links are on our roadmap, and we’re excited to explore more ways to make Penjo even more versatile in the future. We’ll also work on improving how you discover these features to make them easier to find and use.

Thank you for your support and for sharing how Penjo has made your life easier. Your feedback inspires us to keep improving!

A digital planner/scrapbook/journal all in one! Just what I’ve been looking for!

I love the simplicity of this app and the iCal integration. I’m using it as a planner but I’m also inserting a photo memory for each day and adding doodles and journal entries. I noticed a bug with how the thumbnails were displaying, so I reached out to the developer and he fixed it promptly. I love this app and I can tell it’s only going to get better with time as new updates roll out. Get it!

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! Great to hear that Penjo is exactly what you are looking for. Really happy to know that you are making the most of the app by adding photos, doodles, and journal entries.

I especially appreciate you reaching out directly about the thumbnail display bug. Your feedback allowed me to fix the issue promptly and improve the experience for all users.

Thanks again for your kind words and encouragement.

Feel free to contact anytime for any questions, feedback, and suggestions.
