Key Weakness

Catastrophic data loss combined with no calendar integration makes it a $9.99 scribble pad instead of a functional planner

"This is definitely not what I was looking for and definitely not worth $9 (in my opinion). This app is essentially just blank pages. Doesn't sync to a calendar. Doesn't sync from iPad to iPhone. There aren't any features."

We bought this app but the features are frustrating. I hope this app would improve its features and at least to have a pen, pencil and highlighter features like GoodNotes where we can draw straight line without using rulers. The app is buggy so please fix it. Lastly, i hope u can design a new icon f...

I like the functionality of using pencil to write in appts but I don’t like that I have to do it on every view… day, week, month. Just too much to keep up with for the price
