Are PlannerCentric planners suitable for beginners?

Absolutely.

Whether you're completely new to digital planning or already have experience using digital planners, we've designed our planners to be easy to set up and enjoyable to use.

There are also helpful video tutorials and resources to help you get started with confidence.

Why choose a digital planner instead of a paper planner?

Digital planning offers flexibility that traditional planners simply can't match. You can;

  • Undo mistakes instantly
  • Move, duplicate and reorganise pages
  • Keep everything in one place
  • Carry your planner wherever your device goes
  • Add digital stickers, images and notes
  • Search handwritten notes in supported apps
  • Back up your planner for added peace of mind

For many users, digital planning combines the satisfaction of handwriting with the convenience of modern technology.

Will I need to learn complicated software?

Not at all.

If you already know how to open a PDF in your preferred note-taking app, you're well on your way

Our planners are designed to work within familiar note-taking apps such as GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf and many more, allowing you to write, highlight, erase, duplicate pages and organise your planner using the tools you're already comfortable with

Most customers are up and running within just a few minutes.

Compatibility

Which devices are supported?

PlannerCentric planners are designed to work on most modern devices that support compatible PDF annotation or note-taking apps.

This includes:

  • iPad
  • Android tablets
  • Windows tablets
  • Mac computers
  • Windows PCs

For the most natural planning experience, we recommend using a tablet with a stylus, such as an iPad with Apple Pencil or an Android tablet with a compatible pen.

Do I need an iPad?

No.

While many of our customers use an iPad, PlannerCentric isn't limited to Apple devices.

As long as your device supports a compatible note-taking app that can open interactive PDF planners, you can enjoy the PlannerCentric experience.

Which note-taking apps are compatible?

PlannerCentric is compatible with most PDF annotation and note-taking apps that support interactive hyperlinks

Goodnotes and Notability are frequently mentioned in our guides because they're among the most popular options, but they're certainly not the only apps that work

If your preferred app supports interactive PDF planners, hyperlinks and handwriting, there's a good chance PlannerCentric will work well with it.

Does PlannerCentric planners only work with Goodnotes?

No

Goodnotes is simply one of the most widely used digital planning apps, which is why it's often featured in our tutorials

You're welcome to use another compatible note-taking app if that's your preference.

Can I use PlannerCentric planners on Android?

Yes.

Our planners work well on Android tablets using compatible note-taking apps that support interactive PDF planners.

For the best experience, we recommend using a stylus.

Can I use PlannerCentric planners on my Mac or Windows computer?

Yes

You can open and use your planner on desktop and laptop computers using compatible note-taking software

However, many customers find that planning feels more intuitive and enjoyable on a touchscreen tablet with a stylus.

Can I use the planner on multiple devices?

Yes

If your note-taking app supports syncing across your devices, you can access your planner wherever you need it

Please refer to your chosen note-taking app for details about its syncing capabilities.

Do I need an internet connection?

No

Once your planner has been downloaded and imported into your note-taking app, you can continue planning without an internet connection

Internet access is only required for downloading files, watching tutorials or accessing online resources.

Will the hyperlinks still work?

Yes

All internal planner hyperlinks are built directly into the planner and work without an internet connection once the planner has been imported correctly into a compatible note-taking app

For the best experience, ensure your planner is opened in an app that supports interactive PDF hyperlinks.

Downloads

How will I receive my planner?

PlannerCentric planners are digital, which means nothing is shipped physically

Once your purchase has been completed, you'll receive access to download your planner files immediately.

When will I receive my download?

Your planner is available immediately after your purchase has been confirmed

Delivery times do not apply because this is an instant digital download

If you're unable to locate your download, please check your confirmation email.

I haven't received my download link — what should I do?

Start by checking your spam or junk folder. Occasionally order confirmation emails land there rather than your inbox

If it is not there, confirm that the email address on your order is correct. A small typo at checkout is the most common reason a link goes missing

Still nothing? Get in touch with us at hello@plannercentric.com with your order number and we will get your access sorted right away.

Will I receive free updates?

If we release important fixes or improvements for your purchased planner version, updated files will be made available through the Download Hub where applicable and you will receive an email notification if you are subscribed to our email newsletter.

Are there any subscription fees?

No

Some note-taking apps may offer optional premium subscriptions, but these are separate from PlannerCentric.

Installation

Is the planner difficult to install?

Not at all

We've designed it to make setup as straightforward as possible

Every purchase includes:

How do I install my planner?

  3. Import the planner PDF into the app.
  4. Begin planning.

Video tutorial will available with each planner guide you through each step.

Why do I need to install the PlannerCentric shortcut?

The PlannerCentric shortcut brings Apple Calendar and Apple Reminders directly into your planning flow.

When you tap the Apple icon anywhere in your planner and you will be guided through a simple process to add an event or a reminder. Once done, your entry appears automatically in the relevant Apple app

Without the shortcut installed, your planner works exactly as normal. You simply will not have access to the Calendar and Reminders integration

If you use both your planner and Apple Calendar or Reminder app, the shortcut is worth installing. It keeps everything in one place, without the need to switch between apps manually.

Is the PlannerCentric shortcut safe?

Yes

The shortcut is created specifically for PlannerCentric and is designed solely to enable the Calendar & Reminders integration within your planner

It does not collect personal information or access your data beyond the permissions required for its intended function.

Can I edit or rename the shortcut?

No

To ensure everything works correctly, please avoid renaming, editing, deleting or rearranging the PlannerCentric shortcut

Making changes may prevent the Calendar & Reminders integration from functioning properly.

Can I delete the shortcut after installation?

If you delete the shortcut, the Calendar & Reminders feature within your planner will stop working.

If this happens, simply reinstall the shortcut using the installation guide.

Where can I watch the installation videos?

Installation video is available in the PlannerCentric Download Hub of your planner, making it easy to follow along during setup

Video tutorials are also available through the PlannerCentric website. Check the PlannerCentric Academy section

Calendar & Reminders

What is the Calendar & Reminders feature?

This is one of PlannerCentric's premium productivity feature

It allows you set new events and reminders directly in your planner helping you move effortlessly between planning and task management.

Do I have to use this feature?

No

The planner works perfectly well without it

The shortcut simply adds extra convenience for customers who use Calendar and Reminders apps regularly.

Does the shortcut automatically create events or reminders?

No

The shortcut simply allow you create the entry of your event or reminder

You have full control over creating, editing and managing your own events and reminders.

Why is my planner asking for permission?

The first time you use the shortcut, your device may ask for permission to run it

This is a standard security feature designed to protect your privacy

Once permission has been granted, future use should be much more seamless.

Does this feature require an internet connection?

No

As long as your device supports the required apps and the shortcut has been installed correctly, the feature can be used without an internet connection.

Why isn't the Calendar or Reminders icon working?

The most common causes are:

  • The PlannerCentric shortcut hasn't been installed
  • The shortcut was edited or renamed
  • Apple Calendar or Reminders isn't installed on your device
  • Your device hasn't granted permission to run the shortcut

If you've checked these items and the feature still isn't working, please contact us.

As new features become available, they'll be announced through our official website and social media channels.

This eliminates the need to scroll through hundreds of pages and makes planning much faster and more enjoyable.

Can I write directly inside the planner?

Troubleshooting

My planner won't import into my note-taking app

First, make sure you've downloaded the complete planner file before importing it.

If the problem continues:

  • Ensure your note-taking app supports interactive PDF planners
  • Make sure your app is up to date
  • Restart your device and try importing again

If you're still experiencing difficulties, contact our support team.

My hyperlinks aren't working.

Hyperlinks usually stop working if the planner has been opened in an unsupported PDF viewer

Please make sure you're using a compatible note-taking app that supports interactive hyperlinks

Also check that your app is in Read or Navigation mode rather than Edit mode, as some apps require this to activate hyperlinks.

The Calendar icon isn't working.

Please check the following:

  • The PlannerCentric shortcut has been installed
  • The shortcut hasn't been renamed or edited
  • Apple Calendar and Apple Reminders are installed on your device
  • Your device has granted permission to run the shortcut

If you've confirmed all of the above and the feature still isn't working, contact us for assistance.

The planner closed unexpectedly.

Occasional app crashes are usually related to the note-taking app rather than the planner itself

Restart the app and reopen your planner

If the issue continues, check whether an update is available for your note-taking app.

I accidentally deleted my planner.

Don't panic

Simply download a fresh copy from the PlannerCentric Download Library using your access link.

If you've created handwritten notes, remember that these are typically stored within your note-taking app, so restoring a new copy won't automatically restore your previous annotations

I accidentally deleted the PlannerCentric shortcut.

No problem.

Simply follow the Shortcut Installation Guide again and reinstall the PlannerCentric shortcut.
