## Review summary

Overall, users praise Pencil Planner for its handwriting-enabled calendar, customizable layouts, and cross-device usability, with many calling it the best pencil planner and a strong daily planner when it works. However, repeated issues dominate: data loss (notes erasing or disappearing), inconsistent syncing across iPad and iPhone (often not syncing or taking long to load), frequent glitches and crashes, slow or missing note loading, and unresponsive support. A number of feature requests recur (widgets, better typing options, search). Until data integrity and reliability improve, users remain wary about renewing subscriptions.

### Pros

- Handwritten notes and doodles integrated directly into the calendar with diary-like features.
- Customizable layout and diary-style organization that fits many planning styles.
- Cross-device usability with calendar integration and syncing across devices (e.g., iPad, iPhone, Google/Outlook calendars).
- Easy-to-navigate interface and strong overall planning capabilities when the app is functioning.
- Accessibility on the go, with planning options available on iPhone and iPad.

### Cons

- Important data can disappear or notes can be erased, leading to loss of years of work.
- Notes and handwriting often fail to sync between iPad and iPhone.
- Frequent glitches, crashes, or freezes reduce reliability.
- Notes loading is slow or sometimes not loaded at all.
- Support responses are slow or unhelpful for reported issues.
