Comments on Penzu for Android

★★★★☆ Evelyn Daigle · Mar 30, 2026

I love using Penzu, but I think it would be a better app if I could create journals within a journal. For example, I'd have a journal called 'Sewing' and then inside that, I could have separate journals for each project, like 'Bargello Quilt' or 'Four Patch Quilt'. This would help me keep all my notes and photos really organized in their proper projects.

★★★★★ Arthur Barry Dench · Apr 23, 2026

Its so good (for me) that I buy the Pro version. I prefer an online journal and Penzu suits me fine. I can sync. It across all the platforms I use, phone, tablet, laptop and PC. Try it.

★★★★★ Shawnice Pate · Jul 3, 2026

Penzu is a great journal app. I like journaling daily. It fits that necessary need to write my thoughts, concerns, and days about. Thank you.

★★★★★ Vikram Phalak · Jun 17, 2026

I have been using it for many years now. It is reliable. And I like the user experience.

★★★★★ Maria Venasiya · Jul 12, 2026

Private and cool. You can write about maybe hundreds of entries. You can also use it for free if you want.

★☆☆☆☆ SakhtMale · Apr 10, 2026

I set my journal password, I still remember it, but it says the password is wrong, only if there was an option to reset my password through my connected email, I need help there is important things in that journal!

★☆☆☆☆ Sonia Shnyder · Feb 3, 2026

I used to like the features of the free account and decided to upgrade to Pro. After paying for my subscription I did not get access to Pro features and never got a response from Penzu apart from irrelevant automated responses. I wish I knew partial refunds are available via Google Play when you cancel an annual subscription. The whole experience was a pity as the app was what I needed. It also crashed on my entries in the free version, which were lost.
