Ratings and reviews

Simple, yet organized. I've only been using this app for a few months, but since it's samsung, there's no ads (I have tried other note apps, they all have ads)! You can write, make lists, draw, draw overtop of your writing, adjust your drawings, and many more! There's basically unlimited pages per entry, which are basically unlimited too! It's also pretty cool that you can change the cover of every entry! Love writing and drawing concepts in this app 10/10 :3

Definitely no false advertising here! I bought a Samsung phone and needed a place to write notes, and Holy ****, if there wasn't a specific app for exactly that. Samsung Notes is great for writing notes in and runs perfectly on my Samsung phone. As an added bonus, it is half decent for making checklists as well. I mean, it's no Samsung Checklists, but it still works in a pinch! Absolutely blown away, 5/5 all day every day!

Used to really enjoy this app. But the most recent update changed things negatively. 1. The way notes are listed changed & cannot be reverted back. This has made it harder to find notes. 2. Notes now auto-format. The font size & type will change automatically without user input. This is extremely unhelpful as you can't edit this baseline formatting. If you're going to bother adding Headers 1, 2, 3 & Body 1, 2, etc, make it so we can change & modify them ourselves. Otherwise it is only harmful.
