Dark Mode shouldn’t be “Premium”
Simple, clean, and fairly easy to use, however, I would never actually use this app exclusively because it considers Dark Mode as a “premium’s feature” and not a necessity. Most people, including myself, aren’t using Dark Mode for aesthetic purposes, but as an accessibility option, as Light Modes can be genuinely painful and headache inducing to look at. Dark Mode is required for those with visual disability or impairment, as well as for those who work with writing at night. Without that, this app is nothing to me but the dream of what could have been. Ideal in that it’s free to use, easy to navigate, has basic markdown, a decent amount of functionality. Impossible to give a good review, because it’s actively hurting me every time I try to look at it. Dark Mode is an Accessibility feature, and shouldn’t be behind a paywall, having it stay like that is a huge slap in the face to night owls and the visually impaired. 2 stars given for being free and good at it’s job. 3 stars withheld for having all that and being rendered unusable to me and an entire demographic by mere virtue of considering accessibility a paid privilege.
United StatesBeautiful, minimal, and focused
I browsed, downloaded, and tried a handful of writing apps before finding this one. Many of the other apps available become bloated in both features and aesthetics, whereas PenCake focuses on the innate beauty of text and writing. This allows you the space to simply focus on writing. It’s a wonderful and welcomed break from the attention-grabbing methods in most apps these days. My only wish is for the ability to set up a daily reminder to write, but that’s solved easily enough with third-party apps I already have. 100% recommended.
United StatesWonderful for poetry
I use this mainly for the purpose of drafting poems; and it’s a great app for that and much else. I love the light mode — which I don’t say for most apps — and the aesthetics in general. Wonderful app!
United States써둔 내용이 날라갔네요...ㅠㅠ

United States5 Stars
I’m not exaggerating when I say that thanks to this app, my mind is clearer and more organized than ever. I find that this is just the perfect amount of organization that allows me to organize my thoughts, ideas, daily experiences & etc. clearly. Plus the aesthetic is unbeatable. I love it so much. Thank you app developers, I can’t thank you enough!!! ☀︎☀︎☀︎
United Statesaesthetically practical!
totally satisfied with this app and never regret purchase premium. the design is very elegant and simple, which is the best advantage of this app. however, I hope the developer would add the function to sort articles by pulling it. otherwise, this app is awesome!
United StatesUsually don’t leave reviews
But it’s freaking worth mentioning: this app is exactly what I was looking for without even realizing I was. It’s beauty is in it’s simplicity. It doesn’t try to be more than it needs to be. It doesn’t take away from the objective. It actually encourages and focuses the objective through it’s simplicity. Thank you Pencake creators. I’m inspired and delighted.
