Super Aesthetic and Minimal
I love how minimal yet functional this app is. It’s super easy to navigate through different notes with a swipe left or right and is very pleasant to use. It also syncs to the cloud (manually in the free version and automatically in the paid version). My old phone was low on space and glitching so the app crashed (my fault for overloading my phone), but after deleting some apps I restarted the PenCake and it saved all my files! Thank you, PenCake!! Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see that both android and iOS apps are pretty much exactly the same. 👍 This is definitely my new favorite writing app. The free version is great but I will be upgrading to premium because they offer a one time payment for a lifetime license. ❤️ P.S. I would love an option to sort notes manually without having to edit all the dates. 🙏
