Ratings and reviews

My go-to note taking app. Pretty decent for drawing too, surprisingly. It's great that it is connected to your samsung account so you won't lose your notes flrever as long as it's saved in the cloud. I like how you can customise the paper colour, separate pages or have infinite pages, etc. It would also be great if we can change the font style (or perhaps I haven't found out how to do that)

Great free app, but it needs automatic dot points after putting the first in, and the search is terrible with showing everything including what your searching for in words eg., you look for 'Andrew' in notes and you'll get a result of everytime it finds 'and' as well... At least you should be able to change this but as far as I know, you can't.

At the top of the list of notes, it has a message asking me to sync my notes, and it takes up a 3rd of the whole list space! I click on "Not Now" and it goes away, but if I click onto anything else and come back, the message has returned! I can find no way to disable this annoying notification, even after pressing "Not Now" dozens of times. "Not now" does not mean I want to be asked 2 f'ing seconds later!!!
