User Reviews for Planner & Journal - Zinnia

Potential, but not there yet

When I saw this app off an Instagram ad, I was so excited to try it out, as I’ve bullet-journaled for years and have been hoping to find a paperless option that would give me the same capabilities as my paperless journal. I wanted to love this app and I love the idea of having online stickers and washi tape, but within five minutes of using the app I could tell how glitchy it was (using the drawing tool, my lines would shift around after setting down the pencil) and immediately deleted it.I have a couple suggestions for this app that would make it more similar to a physical planner: offer an option to disable the text feature of templates (really frustrating trying to handwrite on it), offer a tool for drawing straight lines as opposed to using one of the planner templates, offer a tool to allow people to draw an area of the paper sticker they want to use (rather than just putting a rectangle on the page), maybe portrait mode can be one half of a two-page spread and landscape would allow the user to see both pages?Yes, $40 may be cheaper than the amount someone spends on a paper journal and tools, but there’s also an opportunity cost of this app, which is the frustration and time spent trying to deal with the glitches. I would love to try this app again if the bugs are worked out, and I really hope they are, because this app is a wonderful idea.

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!

Writing/Doodling/Planning in a journal increases my productivity and helps alleviate anxiety. But I am a busy woman. I need an iPad for the multitude of other things that I juggle (research, scheduling, Zooming, writing for publication, etc.) I have been longing for a cute little journal with washi tape and stickers, but I don’t have room in my bag, or time to spend at the craft store. This particular app allows me to relax and take control of my life with a stylus, and it doesn’t add more “crap” to my life. I love it.I have one suggestion, though. Would it be possible to put it some medical trackers? Like, something similar to the water trackers, but for daily medication? (I love the little water tracker stickers that you can put on a daily page.) I take care of my 85 year old mother, and I would love to be able to track her meds and doctor’s appointments, and maybe some day my own. When my children were young, one of them had some minor health problems, which required a lot of pediatrician visits. I would have loved a tracker to help me keep that information straight. Also, when my kids were babies (I had twins), I had to keep track of diapers and bottles and all kinds of horrible things. A tracker for that stuff would definitely be useful for young parents.

Great app. Just a few suggestions.

I absolutely love this app. It allows for so much creativity and is very cost efficient compared to annual planners and journals. Zinnia gives unlimited space and has infinite uses. The one thing I would like to see is a way to set reminders that go along with certain calendar items. For example, a push notification reminding me of my dr. Appointment this week. Another idea is some of the templates where you can create lists or has places to check mark, I would love to see some of those allow you to click on the button and it check it for you. My final suggestion is when you go to type a new entry on a page you have already created, allow it to remember the last font settings for that page. I’m constantly having to reset my fonts b/c I used different ones on a different journal or page. I know there are still updates and improvements being made and overall I am very happy with this app. I actually recently bought an iPad and one main reason was journaling. I loved it on my phone but it just wasn’t big enough.Thanks for a great app!

Almost 5 stars

I love this journal. I have many different journals; my daily journal, Bible journal, recipe book, music practice log, even a book of things my 93 year old father has told me that I don’t want to forget, like family stories etc. There are endless ways to use this app. I did leave for awhile about a year ago and was using GoodNotes, but came back to this. There’s a feature many of us have asked for for a long time, that we are still waiting on. So this is why I dropped one star. We would like a tool that allows us to draw a line or circle or square and hold it to straighten out the line drawn. Once we get that feature I will give this app 5 ⭐️ ! The only other thing I’d like to see is less of the teenage cutsie stickers, and more adult stickers. The representation of spiritual is lacking too. One Christian sticker package of crosses, but the rest of the spiritual section is magic/wicken, mandalas, and new age. What about the major religions, Christianity, Jewish, Muslim etc.? The app is clearly made by someone without a faith or very new age. That’s fine but think of the rest of us. And when I say Christianity I don’t mean Santa and the Easter bunny. Those are not Christian.

Great app but really wish…

This is a great app, with lots of functionality and style, but I REALLY wish you could change the layout view. It would be awesome if you could choose to view it like a book, with turning pages, that would make it truly feel like a real journal. I’m not a huge fan of the thumbnail setup it has currently. Plus, when you expand one of the thumbnails, it’s essentially one big landscape page. I want the option of viewing just one side of that page so I can write on a page at a time. As it stands, I have to zoom in and that’s just kind of annoying for a journaling app. Also would be nice to have the option of moving the toolbar to the top of the page. It’s counter-intuitive to rest your hand on the screen and start writing then have to reach down at the very bottom when you want to select a different tool or adjust the current tool. All the other writing apps I use have the tool bar at the top and it’s way more efficient. Aside from the aforementioned dislikes, the app is pretty awesome and has several different ways to personalize your journal the way you want.

I love it so much!

UPDATE: I have now been using the paid version for 3 months. It is worth every dang penny. To those of you think it’s too expensive, perhaps you should change your thought process. This is meant to be a fully immersive journaling app. If you were to go out and purchase multiple bullet journals, craft paper, pens, paint brushes, washi tape, stamps, stickers, etc., you’d be in for far more than $40 every year. Oh and they add new content every month. It is clear that the developers put in a lot of work and are constantly making it better. They deserve to get paid. ORIGINAL REVIEW: If you are looking for the perfect journaling app that gives you a truly blank canvas to work with, this is it! This is the greatest creative journaling app I have ever used. It gives me real freedom to design every single page however I want. The developers listen to the users and add highly sought after features. This is already an incredible app but it will just keep getting better and better with every update. BTW this review is based solely on the free version. I will be purchasing the full membership today with zero hesitation! $40 per year is well worth it, especially if you consider how much you would spend trying to create a physical journal with this many options.

The next level of digital planning/journaling

This app is seriously the only complete digital planning/journal app on the market. I’ve used several, including the paid versions of the most popular ones. There is always a significant issue with one of the features. I love GoodNotes and they have made fixes to issues that used to drive me crazy, like the crashes and lagging; however, their handwriting algorithm is awful. The worst one of all the digital writing apps I’ve used. I have an iPad Pro, 2nd gen pencil, and a paperlike screen protector. Another app I found has a really good algorithm for the pencil, but the rest of it is not very good, without the ability to use even system fonts. I wanted an app that allowed me to make planners and notebooks, use PDFs that I make/purchase, insert graphics, notes, etc., and be able to utilize both type and handwriting (and not have it look completely different than what I write on paper). This app has it all! Then, in addition to your own graphics, there are a ton of templates and layouts built in. Some graphics have actual text lines built in, so you just touch and type, no need to drag typed text around and it is much faster when creating long to-do lists or grocery lists than handwriting it all out. I could literally go on forever, but you’re wasting time reading this. Just get it. I haven’t opened another writing app since I subscribed to this one.

Lovely app! So worth it, but one minor suggestion:

Such a beautiful app! It has already helped me start over 12 journals for almost every aspect of my life and in such a clean way. It has eased my anxiety levels beyond compare to regular paper as I know I’m not consuming and dumping as much. Not to much though, scanning something handmade, a photo, then importing to the app is SO fun! Scrapbooking! Everything! As for the pricing, don’t let it get to you. The subscription per year is SO worth it if you were to buy using, buying, painting and working in multiple notebooks. $3.33/month for a new notebook with unlimited pages and resources is an exactly perfect price point I’m happy to pay. The only one minor question I have is if it’d be possible to manually organize the journals in the first landing page. I would prefer to see them lined up with each corresponding notebook and it’s kind of confusing as when to where my journal is when I need it. I take an extra second of being anxious to find it. Hope it’s possible! Amazing app! So thankful to have found it!

Room for improvement

I’ve been using this app for a couple weeks now and I’m really enjoying it. I bit the bullet and bought the app for the year, to be honest the free version while cool is extremely limited in the number of pages you can have which I get but it was so limited that I initially uninstalled it. Now that I have the full version I’m keeping several journals for my mental health, my personal planner, my school planner, my student meetings and my parent meetings. Two pieces of advice I would give to the developers is to include coloring pages or stickers, a little bit of a mental break activity that I think would be easy to include, it would just be the line work so the person can color in the piece, I thought this would be really cool especially with the mandalas but it didn’t work. My second piece of advice would to allow for offline access to your journals. The person might not be able to use all the stickers, but adding pages and allowing for the person to write out their thoughts while offline I think would be really nice and doable. The person can also view and add to their planners without being online, I ran into this issue when I was away from the house and needed to check my schedule, but wasn’t able to, since I didn’t have access to WiFi. I think with these additions this app would be just about perfect for the needs it wants to fulfill.

Great app, but be aware of subscription restrictions

I’ve had this app for a few days and I’m having a lot of fun with it! I love all the available features and how customizable it is with thoughtfully built in functions like being able to change the color of templates, pick colors straight from a picture or the spread, and group/ungroup objects. There’s also SO MANY sticker, washi tape, and template options, even calligraphy practice sheets, which allows me to get really creative with it. The only complaint I have so far is that as soon as I tried to add a sticker for the first time, it said I had to upgrade (which means paying for a subscription). It seems like it falls somewhat (although not entirely) into the category of apps that require you to subscribe to actually use them in a reasonable way, which is kind of annoying. I went for it and I think it’s definitely worth it, but it’s something you should be aware of. Overall, I would 100% recommend this app, especially if you like bullet journaling, scrapbooking, planning, and aesthetic things in general.
