It feels more intuitive than other apps. My only gripe, is that I wish I could somehow lock PDF files when they are imported. The fact that the page is always constantly being shifted or that the UI is prompting me if I want to crop or delete the image cannot be exited out of on iPad without having to zoom out and back in, and usually not without moving the PDF page and having to undo the changes as highlighting and annotations for classes gets thrown out of place, frustrating for PDF page. -- Asvraa, 2025-08-27 ### ***-- "meh" this app was really good in the beginning but has been extremely laggy the past couple months. emailed for support and have heard nothing. gets a 3 from me based on how it used to be -- Scoon_5’9, 2025-08-24 ### ***** "Not good but not bad 😅" This is a great app But the problem is that we need to pay money to make a new book and select a cool book that looks cool and why I like this app is because you can pick cute stationerys , colors,pens and more!!!😜 TYSM!!!! this is so useful and that is what I am going to say about this app😊 I hope you have a wonderful day🤗 bye 👋 -- By Sophie🎀, 2025-08-16 ### ***** "能否加入思维导图，以及文本框" 期待加入思维导图，对xmind等md等文件的支持，以及支持插入关系图，插入表格，橡皮擦自动切换到笔 -- App Store MLX, 2025-08-16 ### *---- "Lost everything" After the new update I lost seven notebooks worth of notes. Literally all of my notes are gone. The new update not only looks ugly but is also super impractical and the app is completely unusable now. I used this app for years but will be deleting it. Its sad to see the only good note taking app turn into trash. -- tatttyqty, 2025-08-03 ### ***** "You have to pay for almost everything" ... -- (Also Optional), 2025-07-30 ### ***** "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwww" Cooooooooooooooollllll omggggggggggggggg 😃 -- Genesis 260, 2025-07-26 ### **--- "Lost ALL MY DATA" next time please just have an app update that pops up a reminder to backup as an update is approaching. That would be lovely. -- GambleWorks, 2025-07-23 ### ***** "Great note" Great note program. -- Dfrrx, 2025-07-23 ### ***** "Ice" This app truly help me draw briefly and it was anticlamic and this can help u draw! -- Gokool, 2025-07-19 ### ***** "I love notebooks" Yes I do -- Alisonhony, 2025-07-18 ### *---- "Not working since “update”" This app WAS great. Since the latest update, I can’t create a new notebook. When I try, the app just crashes. Every time. Please fix this. -- No-prob Rob, 2025-07-13 ### *---- "Lost everything with “update”" The latest upgrade has lost all of my important information and I can no longer use the app on my iPad. I had to delete the app and reinstall it, I can get into the app but only for a very short period before it closes itself out. When I do initially open it, there is no option to “restore purchases” or to login. Only options are to buy a plan. I had everything in there, calendars, important information I needed access to recently, passwords, This has been completely devastating! I can open the app on my iPhone, but the cloud did not save anything from the past year or so… :( I guess, lesson learned! Going back to hard book organizers and notebooks! Pen and paper ! -- Rebecca Bing, 2025-07-12 ### **--- "How do u write" Im having trouble drawing -- Ally the judío, 2025-06-19 ### ***** "Great app!" This app is my favorite thing as a teacher! I use this to present my lessons to students by sharing my iPad screen on the board. It allows me to live annotate the work to model problems for students. I would like it if a way to select multiple pages to copy would be added- it takes a lot of time to copy pages into new books. And a way to organize books into folders maybe. I make a ✨lot✨ of books. -- niclaw91, 2025-06-19 ### ***** "its fun" its an amazing app where i can use my apple pen and i can note my creations of paper crafts this is a great app and way i can store my ideas -- Xbox gg sczg, 2025-06-07 ### ***** "So good" This app is so good and if your looking for something chill and relaxing get this app -- It’s easy, 2025-06-03 ### ***** "好评" 我觉得这是我目前用的最好的笔记软件，比goodnote等 写字好看多了 -- 布吉岛礁石, 2025-05-31 ### ***** "The Best" I have many different subjects that I must keep notes on and recently I was overwhelmed at the number of notebooks I had and they began to look like clutter around me and I knew that I had to do something. I was using my planner in this app when I began to look through the different editions available. I started to try out some of them and realized that the answer had been in my hands all this time right in this app. I began to feel a sense of order come back into my life so I’m really thankful for this app. I hope you will remain as dependable as you have been since I discovered this app a few years ago. I never imagined that this could be an app to help me stay organized in my daily task. Thank You for all of the hard work you put into this application. -- 1Pink Rose, 2025-05-27 ### ***** "C Ko oh" Fifth -- Teddy Ayele, 2025-05-22 [View all Penbook reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Penbook In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Penbook Premium | $7.99 | | Penbook Premium Lifetime | $49.99 | | Premium Lifetime (Loyalty) | $29.99 | ## Penbook Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Russia | Productivity | #428 | | Top Free | Portugal | Productivity | #431 | | Top Free | Norway | Productivity | #445 | ## Penbook Discovered Keywords -
