Ratings and reviews

I've been a lifetime member for a long time. I really do like using the app. There's only one thing I'm using the app for and I try my best to write daily. My only complaint is the lack of an indent option for starting a new paragraph through the android keyboard. If I attach a Bluetooth keyboard, I can easily just use the tab, but for me the function should be there at the push of a button. Without the need of a peripheral.

I really enjoy PenCake's features; they're easy to use, and minimal enough so you can keep track of everything. The design of the app is simple, and aesthetically pleasing. However, I do wish there was a way to manually rearrange the articles. Nonetheless, thank you for creating this app! (For users looking to download PenCake, I would like to note that you have a limit of two stories you can create unless you pay for a premium version, but the amount of "articles", or chapters, is unlimited.)

Went into premium immediately simply because of service in the reviews here. As for app, it's pretty cool, but definitely has a learning curve. Actually, I'd like a typed guide in a help section in the app (and for the love of God, no linked ones!). Honestly, for a random app I just stumbled on by accident, this was definitely worth my premium purchase. Well done. 😁 Oh, and a way to change font colors would br nice. Looking forward to what comes next!
