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.)

Great writing app, love the font, and I love how it doesn't show "**___**" when you want to use italics, bold or underlined words. It has a reading mode as well. The quotation marks match the font instead of just being two straight lines like other apps. This is my favorite app, especially since I write all of my books on it. Also, if you're writing a series. It allows you to section off the series into a category. Unlike other apps that only allow you to have one list.
