4.6 out of 5
Literally the worst

All the “minimalist” positive reviews are garbage. It’s so minimalist you can’t use it? Great job. Menus are basic and don’t make sense. The functionality is trash. I have yet to figure out how to do anything other than frustrate myself trying to figure this out. Don’t waste your money. Wish I could get a refund. 😒

Replica of the IPhones Notes app-quick notes feature

Penned is essentially an exact replica of the Apple Notes app's pencil feature. It mimics everything from its functionality to the writing experience. It feels like a streamlined version, akin to Quick Notes, as you can immediately start handwriting without navigating through the Notes app. It would be even more convenient if it could be accessed through a specific gesture, similar to how iPads allow a diagonal swipe from the bottom right corner.I'm unsure if this could be implemented through accessibility settings. This would significantly enhance its utility, making it a go-to for quick note-taking on phone.Also displaying a portion of the screen while using it, like Quick Notes, would be a fantastic addition.It’s great for its simplicity and immediacy, but for those with limited phone storage, it may not be practical to dedicate space to replicate a feature already available in the native app. If storage were not an issue, I would certainly consider keeping it on my phone.At the moment, it’s more worthwhile to go through the extra steps in the notes app than to give up any precious storage space. But Penned has the potential to be useful to people who do have the extra space and want a quick notes on their phone. Or to evolve some features making it worth the storage space. Also,I have an iPhone 6S Plus… By now, quick notes, with the gesture already is a feature in newer iPhones. Idk so if that is the case then this is likely only useful for older iPhones..

Fabulous minimalist app!!!

Fabulous minimalist app, great functionality. A great addition would be the ability to set reminders (recurring? Like ur NotifiNote app) on a note or the entire app that would appear on the Lock Screen.

Incredible

This developer really knows what they’re doing
