Samsung's built-in notes app with S Pen and keyboard support — for Galaxy owners who write by hand and by type.

What users love

Notes that follow you from one Samsung phone to the next

Entries survive device upgrades and lost phones — people grow with the app for years

all of a sudden I cant view my saved recipes

easy to save things to remember

Documents

S Pen and handwriting are the main reason people choose it

Writing with the pen feels natural; for writers and students it's irreplaceable

Great app! It works well with the keyboard or stylus. As a writer it's a must-have.

please make it compatible for samsung watches

excellent tool for note taking.

PDF reading and markup, document creation straight from a note

Opens and annotates PDFs, exports notes as documents or PDFs — handy for study and work

There are two problems I faced. First, when I add an image—for example, on the 4th page—and there is already another image on a later page, say the 9th page, it shifts from its original position. The same issue happens with text as well. Second, when I use this app in split-screen mode, there is no option to add a page in between the PDF pages. Also I cannot drag a image to right side

It is very good at Journaling good job making this

portable

Open and write — nothing extra, anyone can figure it out

Launches instantly, always within reach, learned in a minute — like a notepad, only better

❤️

each time i use pen , my hand touch exit by accident which is located at the lower page where you rest your hand when writing

Best

One place for passwords, birthdays, and important documents

Keeps everything critical in one spot — offloads what the brain shouldn't have to hold

Use it every day.So wonderful. Cheers to the creator. Many blessings your way

Samsung notes is a very helpful and useful, and its user friendly.

its fine,

Folders, notebooks, and search keep a large library in order

Folders, nested notebooks, and search help surface the right note among hundreds

nice app.

excellent tool for note taking.

Alright 👍 I D Zealot confirm 👍 🤩

Checkbox lists for groceries and tasks

Checkboxes work well for shopping lists and to-dos — easy to see what's done

bug with checkboxes. sometimes they become invisible. not good if you use this for lists.

Easy to make pdf , files , project, assignment etc

Раньше при скопированном вставлении текста не было междустрочного интервала, который даже нельзя настроить, зато много бесполезного функционала пожалуйста, что занимает пол экрана. Это стало последней каплей

No ads while you work — rare these days

No ads during writing; everything needed is built in

Documents

Samsung Notes - is my everything, important go-to, if it goes away like everything else, I will have to find a trusting app to use, it'll be a horrible transition, i.e AI, sms v mms. Consumers should be given options.

it's fine

Users want custom fonts and their own color palette

Rich formatting set: bold, italic, highlighter, size controls

Good app to keep notes

Documents

A good tool for some notes one has ro share.

Dark mode doesn't carry text color through; canvas mode broken on tablet

Dark theme available; phone-to-tablet canvas mode for drawing

still some options are unavaileble to use. If those option were given users then its ultimatly good.

it's varey nice

Sticky-note overlay mode is still rough and closes itself

Long-awaited sticky-note overlay mode

great notebook

Tables either missing entirely or keep ejecting the cursor from cells

New tables feature is a welcome addition for some users

need more and better page templates and handwriting alignment needs to be better

upgrade will do better

great notes app.

Users want per-note passwords and a password hint

Entire notebooks can be locked

AI help is not needed.

Good for notes. very nice.

want to chart

Samsung ecosystem lock-in — both its strength and its ceiling

Fits Galaxy devices perfectly; syncs across Samsung phones

This app is best for Galaxy users & it's perfectly in the samsung ecosystem. It surely defines elegance & clear simple use for any user

Great. Very useful.

I've always loved this Samsung feature. The pen was what differentiated this for me. I use this all the time for reminders or to commit things to memory. I can't say enough good things about this feature!

What users hate

Numbers and times auto-link and can't be turned off

Digits and times spontaneously become hyperlinks — disrupts day planning and the links can't be removed

It doesn't have a way to "break link" when you type something it thinks is a link (it turns the letters/numbers blue and underlines it) - very annoying 😑 I tried everything. Even when I tried to change the color, it already had Black selected ... same with the underline and, as I said, there's no option that I could find to "break the link," like there is in Word.

😊

Great tool

Updates break the familiar look: oversized folder banners, forced date grouping

Updates trash the clean layout — giant colored folder headers, forced date grouping, extra taps where one used to do

very gooood

liking it 👌 👍

A good tool for some notes one has ro share.

Font size and line spacing reset after updates and on paste

Post-update the default font ballooned; pasted text jumps to 15pt; line spacing can't be adjusted

helps me keep notes very well don't have to remember everything now

Раньше при скопированном вставлении текста не было междустрочного интервала, который даже нельзя настроить, зато много бесполезного функционала пожалуйста, что занимает пол экрана. Это стало последней каплей

great app, even lets you create pdf

Images and text randomly drift from their positions

Inserted images or text jump to a different page; drawings can't be nudged right; adding text causes drawings to overlap

There are two problems I faced. First, when I add an image—for example, on the 4th page—and there is already another image on a later page, say the 9th page, it shifts from its original position. The same issue happens with text as well. Second, when I use this app in split-screen mode, there is no option to add a page in between the PDF pages. Also I cannot drag a image to right side

Wow

No reminders tied to a note

Can't set a reminder on a note — for some users this alone makes the app unusable; date-time stamp insertion also missing

Super 😎

please include auto refine handwriting like ipad

Samsung notes is easy to take notes.

Users want mind maps, diagrams, and more page templates

Requests for mind maps, charts and graphs, more templates and page covers, and named bookmarks

Samsung notes is good but it's not the best . plz add Mind Map and More tools

Best services for me over 5years now

it's wonderful way no one like sumsung ponteals

Cursor and text editing feel rougher than a regular editor

Cursor is hard to position; can't overwrite an existing file; typing feels less precise than a text editor

better before changing

I love this app it carries a lot of load

no adds in love with it
