WHY PENZU?

Penzu is a diary and personal journal that is focused on privacy. With a unique and compelling user experience, it makes writing online as easy and intuitive as writing on a pad of paper.


PRIVACY

Your journal and your thoughts aren’t always meant to be shared — some things are supposed to be private! Use Penzu to jot down whatever you want. Then lock your journal with a password (or even encryption) so no one can read it but you! Furthermore, you can lock the entire app with a PIN in the event that someone gets access to your mobile device.


PENZU

Unlike other journal apps, Penzu has a web-based counterpart. So you can access your journals and diary from any web browser and other devices. Penzu is constantly being updated and improved so that the writing experience is effortless and reliable.


SUBSCRIPTION INFO

Upgrading to Penzu Pro is available for a small monthly or yearly subscription. Your subscription will auto-renew unless you cancel manually. Monthly subscriptions are $4.99 USD and renew every month. Yearly subscriptions are $19.99 USD and renew every year.

Pros and cons of Penzu app for iPhone and iPad

Penzu app good for

Such a great tool that helps me everyday with personal writing.
Super simple and easy to use/navigate! Upgraded to Pro for only $19 for the year and now Ive got a wicked writing service on my laptop too!
This app is Fantastic! I love how it has its own password. Its great cuz i know that no one can read it except for me!
Works great since day 1. Never had problem with it, I like how it had its own password. Its great for keeping notes and blogs, etc.
I love Penzu! I love to write fan fiction when in in the car or Im board. I love that it has a password so people cant look at what you write! :3
Been using the website for years, moved onto the app! Its everything you need in a diary. Great app!

Some bad moments

Sync function not working at all. Lost all my latest entries. Not worth getting!
Its pathetic you can only use this app when you got a Pro User Account! You should think about changing that!
Ive been using Penzu Pro for a couple of years, on a yearly subscription. The firm sends out very many reminders that the subscription is due for a renewal. When I tried to renew, neither my credit card or PayPal account were recognised, despite both being in regular use as a method of payment. So I sent an email to the Penzu "support". I did not receive an acknowledgment till way past the renewal date. There was no advice, and the email was terse. I persevered - sending more emails to "support" since I could not open my Journals any more. Eventually, the Penzu owner did something which enabled me to pay - though Ive forgotten what. I could open my Journals but not on every device as before, and all my formatting was gone. One year has passed ... and again my credit card and PayPal accounts are again not recognised ... Ive sent 30 emails to the "support" without even ONE acknowledgment. No idea how this saga will continue.
Unless you are a pro subscriber theres really no reason to download this app. You cannot sync with the journals you have online without a pro subscription so this app becomes just another notepad app of which there are many, better alternatives. 2 stars for a mediocre, free notepad app.
Im a pro account user, and I only use Penzu on my iPad. I write before going to sleep on my tablet. Surprisingly, none of the premium features are available on the App. I cant use rich text, none of the personal visual features are there (background, paper style), I cant insert a picture in the body of my posts, add tags, search, etc. So why am I paying for a Pro account or using Penzu? I might as well use Evernote for free, their App has more features as is. I also requested a feature a year ago, and the staff said its a popular request and is in the works. A year later, its still on the "to-do" list. Dont get me wrong, I love the idea and the online features, thats the reason I upgraded - and the staff is quick and polite with their responses. But they need to take a look at their users lifestyles, needs & competition, and accommodate and adapt - quickly.
Made a previous account on a laptop than tried to login with iPad but doesnt let me ....what do I do with this thing!!!!
