    I really like how this app works on all my devices and how I can easily share my notes in different formats or text them to someone. However, writing with a stylus doesn't feel as smooth as I would prefer, and I wish I could see more content on the screen at once. It's a bit time-consuming to reformat the text and adjust the font sizes; sometimes the default size is too small to read comfortably, especially when pasting text that is 10 points. Also, the printed text appears huge. If there are any settings that I haven't figured out yet, please do let me know so I can improve my review. Overall, I do enjoy using this app and would recommend it to others.

    I really love this app because it saves your messages automatically. You don't have to worry about clicking a 'Save' button or finding a folder to save it as a pdf like with other note apps. This app makes things so easy - just type your message and you're done! It's super user-friendly and convenient.

    I found this amazing note-taking app that has everything I need! It lets me write by hand and recognizes letters and words with OCR, type, add photos, use different page templates, and even back up my notes online. It's almost perfect! One thing I wish for is the ability to access my notes through a web browser, even if it's just for reading or adding text. However, since my notes sync across all three of my Samsung devices, I always have at least one nearby. I really enjoy using this app and want to say thank you to Samsung for creating it!

    I just experienced the latest update and oh my, it's really frustrating. I can't stand how pictures are formatted in the notes now. Whenever I add more text above them, I have to manually move them down to make sure they're positioned where I actually want them. And don't even get me started on drawing - it's a nightmare! When I try to edit a drawing, the proportions get all wonky and squished because the width and length won't adjust properly with additional lines. This update is a total disaster! It's making everything so much more difficult and irritating.

    So, four years ago, when I got my phone, I decided to check out Samsung Notes, thinking I'd switch to a different app later. But guess what? I never did! I use it daily for stuff like making shopping lists, coming up with recipes, or just jotting down things to remember, whether it's for the short term or long term. It's so easy to use, hassle-free, and doesn't have any annoying bugs or unnecessary complications. Definitely one of my top ten go-to apps!

    This app is fantastic! It's really user-friendly, especially when using the voice-to-text function. I've been using it for over a year now as a teacher and editor to give feedback on writing and come up with lesson plans. One thing I love is how simple it is to organize notes by giving them titles. Plus, it's great that it automatically saves your work when you close the app. This app may not bring you fame, fortune, or wisdom, but it's reliable like a trusty old workhorse that's always there for you, consistently doing what it's meant to do and doing it well. No flashy gimmicks here, just solid performance.

    So the update really messed things up. It did add lots of fancy features, but for people like me who just want a simple note-taking app, it went ahead and removed the "save" button. Now the background of the page has changed from white (which I prefer) to black (which I can't stand), and if they have an option to switch it back, they've hidden it so well that I can't find it. And why did I have to "convert" all my old notes just to edit them? Ugh... I used to think I had a nice, simple app for organizing my notes, but this update completely ruined it.
