Ratings and reviews

This app is worth the money. My handwriting looks great and the exported PDF looks very high quality, unlike samsung notes on my S3. It has lots of options to customize, so it's a bit hard to learn how to use. But once you get used to it, it works like a charm. This is the only note taking app I've found to have both good writing and good PDF export. Which is what I needed for my homeworks. Thanks developers of ink&paper.

Best note taking app on Android for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, and I've tried them all. Works well with s-pen. The controls took some getting used to, but after I knew how they worked I couldn't go back to INKredible Pro, Squid, or OneNote, which were my go-tos before. I honestly can't believe that this app isn't more popular than it is. It's so cheap too; I've already wasted like $20 trying all the other note-taking apps and this was the cheapest option!

Just got a new phone and came from a Samsung so I was trying to find an app to replace S notes. Not an easy task but this app came the closest. All the other apps I tried didn't recognize the capacitive stylus very well, this one does. It worked so well I even bought the paid version - only $4! It's not as good as S notes, but it's as close as you're going to get even if you would spend more money.
