Honestly, if you've got a Samsung tablet with Samsung Notes, especially with all the new features... You need absolutely nothing else. Not to mention that Samsung supports tens of languages in handwriting to text...
not sure if anyone know about this but samsung notes allow you to write your notes while you are viewing your document without the split screen. and you dont have to constantly move the note around because you can adjust the transparency of the note so it is like a translucent paper that is really nifty to draw graphs or diagrams off a document and onto your note.
omg thank you for much for that comment. I need a tablet for my biology lessons and I've seen the goodnotes features with the translucent tips for drawing 🧠 or anything else by putting an image from the internet directly on your app... Is it possible and efficient on Samsung notes? do you recommend the app? thank uu
For me, it's Samsung notes. Hands down. My favourite feature is definitely using the recording at the same time as the note taking. It is very useful in lectures as a backup plan if I missed something during the class or want to come back to what the professor specifically said. However, I wish it would let you at least see your notes on other devices. Like I cannot check my notes on my computer without having to convert my notes and it's a lot of work for something that could be done easier in another way. But I do understand that they want people to purchase their products so of course, they will keep their app exclusive! Thanks for this video. Great content, as usual.
@@Andrei-qi4tm yeah it does unfortunately. They are good with updates though. I just wanted to let them know they can get samsung notes on windows if they wanted to.
@@Andrei-qi4tm yes i heard that it lags someone commented on youtube thats why i deicided not to do it. But you can always sync your samsung notes via one note
Same, i have both iphone and tabS7 I used tab S7 mostly for gaming using bluetooth mouse & keybaord and V3 shooting apps (not supported on ios), write notes, drawing, using microsoft office, watch moviews
You're totally right, I forgot to mention that. And also, this same functionality applies when double tapping the apple pen (it changes to the eraser) :)!
After using a S10+ for 4 years, I bought a Google Pixel 6 Pro. Samsung Notes is just so intuitive, easy to use, and it's so hard to find an adequate alternative all-in-one-page note taking app. Google Keep separates checklists from standard note taking. These features in Evernote are locked behind a paywall. 🤷♂️ The adjustable widgets available for Samsung Notes that give you easy access to individual notes is also something that is surprisingly difficult to come by while also having the other features I want. Seriously, I was so spoiled with Samsung Notes. I will most likely be giving my Pixel 6 Pro back for an S21 Ultra because Samsung Notes enabled me to unlock another level of efficiency in my life that I didn't have before.
I'm using Samsung Notes on a Galaxy S6 Lite. I sometimes like to put bulleted or important lists from my notes into a container such as a sticky note with drawn pins/thumb tacks at the top, or a banner. The containers make the lists pop out in my notes. It's not just the ability of Samsung notes to import images. I think it may also be the Samsung clipboard features. If I import a banner or sticky note image, I can as you mentioned, crop it and resize it. If I select the image with a lasso, I then copy it to the clipboard. For clipboard management, I can highlight the image in the clipboard and lock it. I can, at anytime, delete all the images that are not locked. Anytime I need a locked image, I just call up the clipboard to insert it. I select the image and send it to the background. Then I lay the bullet list on top of the image.
Not being able to change the font in Samsung Notes is a major drawback. This is a basic feature that should have been implemented from the start, yet here we are in 2022 and they STILL have not implemented this feature
You can also press on the written text to get to the exact point in the voice recording at which it was said. Which is very cool in my opinion. Samsung did a great job.
@@Gaurav-hj2vy I have the Tab S7 and I love it. You can go into Dex Mode and use it like a computer, which works even better if you have the keyboard cover. Dex Mode is like the love child of a chrome book and windows 10. One of the things I love about android tablets is that they are easier to plug into your computer and just drag and drop files. I've always had more troubling copying stuff between iPhones and windows but with android it's easier.
I’m using the ipad for a year and apple pencil is too heavy my wrist in pain so I decideted to change my tablet to samsung. After seeing this video I don’t think any differense of two app PS: apple pencil is 20gr S pen is 8gr the weight is more important than you think
I have bought ipad pro 12.9 inch 2021 , but finding it very difficult to adjust to ipad os , I am personally comfortable with android . Thinking of returning it .
You should consider returning it. Right now samsung is running a discount. If youre a student, you also get an additional discount, and if you trade in an eligible device, you can get the TabS7+ under $400 with add-ons and a pair of galaxy buds.
The major thing i hate about samsung notes is whn u export files as pdf, they wouldn't have the quality of pdf. and i can only import pdf's to the app. it would be also great if they added new fonts to the typed notes, and effects to handwritten one's.
Thanks for this comparison, I think the most useful feature that Samsung notes lacks is the document viewer i hope that they will add it in the next update
What a detailed comparison! You never fail to give amazing insights. Using Samsung notes for quite a time now and it's amazing. Although my course CA(like CPA in US) didn't allow me to do digital note taking as I have to practice lot of sums and theory & speed is a great factor which is not possible in digital note taking. But I keep using it for shoet notes and topics. Your videos are really helpful. Keep the good work👍🙂
I'm using Samsung Notes for my high school notes, but I think Goodnotes would work better for me. Unfortunately I can't afford iPad so Samsung is a great bugdet option that works similar. Good comparison btw
@@NK-es1im I'm afraid of getting slow on Samsung. The phone which I bought 5 yrs ago gone slow af but iPhone or iPad works like its first day. I'm so between these.

Hey Regular Teenager , your review or not taking up is some of the best on TH-cam. Can you also mention average file size when you are doing your reviews I have noticed Samsung notes versus notability with voice, Samsung notes sort of blows up the file size. Thanks
@@jaylynn7142 sure over all app size settings / battery and device care / storage / apps Individual file size , inside of your Samsung note you can share file using gmail and you can see file size or copy It to a memory card.

I got Samsung Notes on Galaxy Tab S7+. GoodNotes looks good with many features, but it costs 8€ (too much) and it is apple exclusive (like many other apps which are chargeable on app store although their android versions are free). Samsung Notes has a lot of features that make GoodNotes look like a rip-off (come on, 8€ for a note app, really?)
Never had a Apple device, always Samsung, now I bought a Ipad Air 4, let's see how it is. Writing with the S pen is more realistic, less resistance, but the Apple Pencil is more comfortable to hold for long writing sessions, I THINK.
s-pen feels more like a pen imo (which isn't bad), but for a comfortable pencil feel you can try Staedtler Noris! I'd like an iPad Mini 6 when the prices go down... but being limited to only an Apple Pencil would drive me nuts

yes, he clearly shows it in the video (towards the end), the sync is with Microsoft onedrive. And yes, handwritten notes can be turned into text - also shown in the video
i used to love samsung notes too but switched to notability coz they have better features of opening extracted pdf from books then highlight and make notes on them
firsty, what do you think is better - notability or good notes? secondly, samsung notes>>>>>good notes and notabiiy coz of just one reason - ITSS FREE and if you are a student than Free>Features
Goodnotesis so much better. It is so well thought out. So many little things that make editing documents and making your own so much easier. It's a shame the app isn't available for Android.
Goodnotes is perfect for me and best for multitasking, split view and stacking over other pages side by side and switch by sing swipe. It’s good to see Samsung own notes app is that good but not at level of goodnotes. I also see some glitch on the Samsung 12:37 and the point you raised about degraded quality of uploaded docs to improve performance, seems like performance will be an issue here.
I had and s6 lite and use mainly Samsung note, I really liked it and it had improved a lot since last year. Now I have an iPad Pro and I still don't get used to the interface (I'm an android user), but I found CollaNote and Kilonotes as two free alternatives to Goodnotes. I think I will use One note though, because having all my notes available in different devices is more important for me.
@@MultiMegaGiga I wanted a tablet mainly for digital drawing and also wanted to try more design programs. I saw many good reviews of Procreate so I switch to ipados. I wasn't a fan of One UI to begin with, but tab s6 lite it's a great & convenient device for its price.
I am more of a Samsung Notes fan. I have terrible handwriting (Well, I think I do; others say different) I cannot read nor understand my handwriting half the time and I retain more information when I write it, but I wanted a feature where I can have my handwriting (No matter how bad it is) to be switched to text: Samsung notes does this flawlessly. I have a handwriting font that I really love to set as my font on the tablet. So when I write, it gets switched to this beautiful handwriting of the font. I am not sure if Good Notes can do this. But this is one of my favorite features on my Samsung Notes.
I really enjoyed the comparison but I find it funny because you are comparing two apps that are both only available on their OS so if you want to choose one over the other you have to buy a different device. Tho I can really see this helping someone decide between an Samsung tab or an iPad.
The comparison is actually useful for people that don’t have neither of the two tablets, so they need to see which one of the apps are better suited for their use. It helps to decide which (brand) tablet to buy in the end
I´m an owner of the S6 Lite and i have to say that i like Goodnotes most. Its just so intuitive and grateful on creating notes. But apart of that there is not one single reason for me to switch.
Samsung offers sharing as PDF, word, PowerPoint and that itself is good enough to slay the rivals. No other point of discussion is required. It is a massive feature
Amazing comparison, thank you so much for the video. One thing I would like you to mention is whether the apps allow hand written text to be searched. Do you know if this is possible in either apps?
This is an excellent review! I have both systems s 7+ tablet from Samsung as well as an iPad Pro 12.9 for media consumption and video content editing. The notetaking on Samsung is unparalleled, in my opinion, and simply cannot be matched by Inotes( although I’m sure Good Notes is probably on a par with it). This really helped me to understand which of my devices I should take dedicated notes on; for me, 🙌 down it has to be Samsung! Especially because it’s so easy to take snapshots or copy small sections of your online research and paste it to the clipboard where it saves silly amounts of data that you have collected. This is where iPad fails for me because it simply doesn’t save anything other than the last thing that you cut Thank you so much for this....So VERY excellent, really well executed. 👍 GREAT to see that you know these things inside out! Thank you so much!
Woah! Thank you so much for this video,always thought good notes was a lot better than Samsung notes,but tbh I can see that it's not,and you just saved moneu from having to buy an android app when Samsung notes exists
I am getting a tab s7 soon, so my fate has already been decided. I do think goodnotes is a bit better. I really like the ability to create flashcards. For those using samsung notes, is there a way to make paper-written notes searchable (after importing them as PDF for example)?
for samsung tablet, what screen protector should i use? cuz i heard the matte/paper like screen protector tear out the nib really fast.. can i use glass screen protector?
Paper like screen protector will wear both rubber tip for S Pen and Apple pencil faster as the surface is rougher. Plus you screen will look horrible after a long time usage due to scratches from the pen. So you have to change both screen protector and nib more often. Glass does not have this issue but you will feel like writing on a glass which is not an issue for me. Tempered glass will not change your tablet display quality compared to the matte paper like
@@RegularTeenager how do you exchange the s pen tip? And is it worth it? I have been thinking about buying a matte screen protector but I am scared of damaging my s pen
@@LIGHTISBURNING spen has a rubber tip by default, so a matte screen protector will wear it down. You can either use a tempered glass for protector or replace the nibs with a hard plastic if you really want a paperlike protector. I know of apple pen tips that wear down too (on quick google search).
I think they are limited by the performance they are trying to obtain on all possible devices. Hopefully they do improve it but I think it's a little complicated for them to do so
@@RegularTeenager I really hope they will improve it . And i don't understand .... it is just a PDF how could it be complicated. There is apps like xodo .. can export pdf in high quality 😭😢
It is not that bad . I mean it is still readable . But if you zoom you will be able to see the pixels of your hand writing . It is a little annoying. And if you inserted a small picture . You wont be able to understand anything from it ... it becomes very pixelated. 😁😁😁
I'm thinking about getting a galaxy tab s8 or ipad air 5 which should I get? I'm a student and would use it in school and sometime also play on it but my question is would it fit me because I got a Pixel phone so neither apple or Samsung that's what makes it so difficult
Great informative video as always, keep it up!💥 It's great that android notetaking apps such as Samsung Notes and Noteshelf have improved as much as they have. Better notetaking apps → More people buying and using android for notetaking with styluses giving android a chance → More improvement to be seen android notetaking apps , supply and demand I guess. At the moment I've been sticking to using Samsung Notes rather than Noteshelf/Others with the option to see your notes on your laptop.I
I switched from Apple to Samsung everything. I use Goodnote on my iPad for my Bible lessons. Converting to Samsung notes i actually appreciate samsung notes more. I wish samsung would expand the pen selections and have more page selections to choose from. All the features that samsung notes comes with i cant go back to Apple. Apple is boring to me.
From a student perspective, a major flaw in Samsung Notes app is that, unlike GoodNotes, you cannot create flashcards with spaced repetition ability. No wonder most Android users resort to Anki. Please tell Samsung developers that students are crying for flashcards with spaced repetition ability.
LOVE your vids! Always great content :) Something that might seem a bit random: have you ever replaced your SPen tip? I've got the Tab S6 Lite for a few weeks now but still no screen protector. I'm thinking about getting a matte one though I'm a bit worried about consuming the tip too fast. Thank you!! :)
You can do that with the selection tool (both lasso and rectangle), it gives you an option to delete a selected area. You can also copy, cut, move forwards/backwards, straighten, change style, convert to text and go to clipboard (for some reason).
Hi! I'm a big fan of your channel! I was wondering if you were planning to do a video about ONE UI 3.1 cross device copy and paste... It would be awesome! Cheers
Can I print my note, save it in my local storage as pdf and edit the PDF using other software(eg. Adobe Acrobat DC) ? I take a lot of note on my Book(printed) but I'm planning to do it digitally. For that, I have to open My book(pdf) using a note taking software and need to do some side note on my Book. Maybe add some references from online. I will add some video links, images, notes. On the flip side, Adobe Acrobat DC allow my to edit my pdf text as well. Which one should I buy?
Damn! This is so silly of me but I have just learned about the quick shapes from your video! These quick shapes have the feature I have always wanted and kept comlaining that "Samsung must have done long time ago, why wouldn't they do it?!". But it turned out they had done it, silly me! LOL Eraser treats quickshapes like a handwriting just like you said. I needed it to make dashed lines (I wish Snotes had dashed lines like INKredible), so now I just can draw a cube and make dashed line inside!
I have a question please do you see a shakey handwriting when you write with a scale of 100% and it dissappears when you write it when you pinch in more like 220% or something like that
Ok..where do i get THAT version of samsung notes. To a small part i spired by this video,i got an tab s 8 and the samsung notes i installed there is nothing lime in your video. Only like a note taking app like a grocery list. Don't even see an option to scan paper to then write on them
Wow Thanks to your video don't need to buy Good notes I had only you Samsung notes just to put personal information not for school or anything like that 🤯🤯
Unfortunately samsung notes fails when working with pdf files. The app sometimes becomes so slow and crashes. Using it on my Z Fold 3. Which note taking app do you recommend for Android mainly using it to annotating PDF files?
I studied a one-hundred page business book in the form of a PDF that I imported to Samsung notes and highlighted, wrote notes, underlined while also doing such while using Dex for more viewing ability without one hiccup! I did this on my Note 20 Ultra. My S7+ is on the way.
@@mikelthewug that's strange. My pdf contains over thousand pages and with clickable link to navigate to different pages I am not sure why it was all the time crashing when I start scrolling. The pdf worked really well in flexil app.

You can turn off finger drawing on samsung notes so you can also lay your palm without leaving a mark
I will keep choose goodnotes because of 12:15. This is very important feature. It's just like you write on paper continuously.
Yeah they really should improve this
I had and s6 lite and use mainly Samsung note, I really liked it and it had improved a lot since last year.
Now I have an iPad Pro and I still don't get used to the interface (I'm an android user), but I found CollaNote and Kilonotes as two free alternatives to Goodnotes.
I think I will use One note though, because having all my notes available in different devices is more important for me.
Why you dont go with the Tab S7+ instead of the Ipad Pro?
@@MultiMegaGiga I wanted a tablet mainly for digital drawing and also wanted to try more design programs. I saw many good reviews of Procreate so I switch to ipados. I wasn't a fan of One UI to begin with, but tab s6 lite it's a great & convenient device for its price.
I studying Grafic Design so I need a Tab but I don't know wich one could I can choice. Ipad or Samsung? Help me pls
@@creepylife4194 samsung is good bro
How is the quality of Samsung notes exported files?
For me its getting Pixelated
Great video, I recently got a Samsung Tab S7+ and I love taking notes on Samsung note.
I am more of a Samsung Notes fan. I have terrible handwriting (Well, I think I do; others say different) I cannot read nor understand my handwriting half the time and I retain more information when I write it, but I wanted a feature where I can have my handwriting (No matter how bad it is) to be switched to text: Samsung notes does this flawlessly. I have a handwriting font that I really love to set as my font on the tablet. So when I write, it gets switched to this beautiful handwriting of the font. I am not sure if Good Notes can do this. But this is one of my favorite features on my Samsung Notes.
hello! could u send me the link of the handwriting font? i like trying different fonts and right now i haven't found anything i fully like
Can you search through your handwritten notes without converting them to text?
Samsung notes is king for me. it's a light app with so many gorgeous features.
I really enjoyed the comparison but I find it funny because you are comparing two apps that are both only available on their OS so if you want to choose one over the other you have to buy a different device. Tho I can really see this helping someone decide between an Samsung tab or an iPad.
yeah you are absolutely right, there is no choice for ipad user to get samsung notes so why he even needs to compare.
@@phadai5103because when people want to buy a new tablet, this can help decide to buy an Ipad or a samsung tablet
The comparison is actually useful for people that don’t have neither of the two tablets, so they need to see which one of the apps are better suited for their use. It helps to decide which (brand) tablet to buy in the end
I´m an owner of the S6 Lite and i have to say that i like Goodnotes most. Its just so intuitive and grateful on creating notes. But apart of that there is not one single reason for me to switch.
Hey, did somebody knows where i can find templates for the smasung notes app ?
There's a page called www.blocklayer.com where you can build your own templates, download them and then import them to samsung notes:)!
@@RegularTeenager thank you :)
Samsung offers sharing as PDF, word, PowerPoint and that itself is good enough to slay the rivals. No other point of discussion is required. It is a massive feature
U must be joking
Amazing comparison, thank you so much for the video. One thing I would like you to mention is whether the apps allow hand written text to be searched. Do you know if this is possible in either apps?
i have always wanted to see a video of this
This is an excellent review! I have both systems s 7+ tablet from Samsung as well as an iPad Pro 12.9 for media consumption and video content editing.
The notetaking on Samsung is unparalleled, in my opinion, and simply cannot be matched by Inotes( although I’m sure Good Notes is probably on a par with it).
This really helped me to understand which of my devices I should take dedicated notes on; for me, 🙌 down it has to be Samsung! Especially because it’s so easy to take snapshots or copy small sections of your online research and paste it to the clipboard where it saves silly amounts of data that you have collected. This is where iPad fails for me because it simply doesn’t save anything other than the last thing that you cut
Thank you so much for this....So VERY excellent, really well executed. 👍 GREAT to see that you know these things inside out! Thank you so much!
Thanks to you for supporting the content, I'm glad the video was useful:)!
Just wait the tab s8 ultra was insane
In samsung you can select covers and templates, but yeah I haven't seena way to change size unless you upload a template of your own
Woah! Thank you so much for this video,always thought good notes was a lot better than Samsung notes,but tbh I can see that it's not,and you just saved moneu from having to buy an android app when Samsung notes exists
A pleasure to help:)!
I am getting a tab s7 soon, so my fate has already been decided. I do think goodnotes is a bit better. I really like the ability to create flashcards.
For those using samsung notes, is there a way to make paper-written notes searchable (after importing them as PDF for example)?
I just tried it out and it didn't work 😬😬
@@meh7070 Thanks for trying it.
@@Some1Something Anytime😊😊
There is
@@ipsayadav4220 Could u tell me how? I ended up getting a tab s6 lite
onenotes honestly the best only feature the need is to removed unlimited width scroll and it would be overpowered
nope they shouldn't remove that feature, they just need to add option to remove it
That and an option to show page breaks so that PDFs can be exported with 100% confidence without thinking about splitting of data.
for samsung tablet, what screen protector should i use? cuz i heard the matte/paper like screen protector tear out the nib really fast.. can i use glass screen protector?
Paper like screen protector will wear both rubber tip for S Pen and Apple pencil faster as the surface is rougher. Plus you screen will look horrible after a long time usage due to scratches from the pen. So you have to change both screen protector and nib more often. Glass does not have this issue but you will feel like writing on a glass which is not an issue for me. Tempered glass will not change your tablet display quality compared to the matte paper like
yeah do it
I know this is random but what screenprotector are you using on you samsung tab ? (I can't seem to find a matte one)
Here's a link to the one I'm using! Although a big heads up, it consumes the spen tip a lot faster!! amzn.to/32IOSOV
@@RegularTeenager thanks 😁
@@RegularTeenager how do you exchange the s pen tip? And is it worth it? I have been thinking about buying a matte screen protector but I am scared of damaging my s pen
I don't get how it consumes the pen, like wtf??? Should we have screen protector? The apple pen don't have this problem
@@LIGHTISBURNING spen has a rubber tip by default, so a matte screen protector will wear it down. You can either use a tempered glass for protector or replace the nibs with a hard plastic if you really want a paperlike protector. I know of apple pen tips that wear down too (on quick google search).
Do you think they will improve the quality of exported files .
It really bothers me 😭😭😭😭
I think they are limited by the performance they are trying to obtain on all possible devices. Hopefully they do improve it but I think it's a little complicated for them to do so
@@RegularTeenager I really hope they will improve it .
And i don't understand .... it is just a PDF how could it be complicated.
There is apps like xodo .. can export pdf in high quality 😭😢
@@ahmedabdulsattar7339 the pdf export quality looks good for me
It is not that bad .
I mean it is still readable .
But if you zoom you will be able to see the pixels of your hand writing .
It is a little annoying.
And if you inserted a small picture .
You wont be able to understand anything from it ... it becomes very pixelated. 😁😁😁
But the zoom in the bottom in the screen in good note is a really good point. I really like samsung but they dont have this option
Can you copy and paste pictures directly from Google Images to Samsung Notes? Also, can you crop them in the app with the lasso tool?
You can if you use Samsung's browser. And yes, there's a cropping tool but it's independent from the lasso tool:)!
I'm thinking about getting a galaxy tab s8 or ipad air 5 which should I get? I'm a student and would use it in school and sometime also play on it but my question is would it fit me because I got a Pixel phone so neither apple or Samsung that's what makes it so difficult
Great informative video as always, keep it up!💥
It's great that android notetaking apps such as Samsung Notes and Noteshelf have improved as much as they have. Better notetaking apps → More people buying and using android for notetaking with styluses giving android a chance → More improvement to be seen android notetaking apps , supply and demand I guess.
At the moment I've been sticking to using Samsung Notes rather than Noteshelf/Others with the option to see your notes on your laptop.I
So are you saying you, can see your phone notes on your laptop with samsung notes?
love the video :) love you
i've had both and i can say samsung notes is by far the best, and it is also free so there's that
Could you tell us wich paper screenprotector you use?
I switched from Apple to Samsung everything. I use Goodnote on my iPad for my Bible lessons. Converting to Samsung notes i actually appreciate samsung notes more. I wish samsung would expand the pen selections and have more page selections to choose from. All the features that samsung notes comes with i cant go back to Apple. Apple is boring to me.
Really interesting to hear that! Hopefully samsung expands the pen and page selection. Thanks for sharing:)!
@@RegularTeenager Thank you. I hope so too.
very interesting to hear
You are so wrong..
@@LIGHTISBURNING its my opinion and your welcome to yours. But don't down people for their opinions.
samsung notes for me. You also left out the feature where you can have your different pens open on your phone and tap to change on your tablet.
This video is so old and the Samsung Notes has changed so much. And it looks dope in Black pqper
From a student perspective, a major flaw in Samsung Notes app is that, unlike GoodNotes, you cannot create flashcards with spaced repetition ability. No wonder most Android users resort to Anki. Please tell Samsung developers that students are crying for flashcards with spaced repetition ability.
Anki is good though
LOVE your vids! Always great content :)
Something that might seem a bit random: have you ever replaced your SPen tip? I've got the Tab S6 Lite for a few weeks now but still no screen protector. I'm thinking about getting a matte one though I'm a bit worried about consuming the tip too fast. Thank you!! :)
Yes the screen protector would wear out the nib really fast. Get replacement nibs and use plastic ones for long lasting
I believe there is also a Windows and a MacOS version of Samsung notes. However, the MacOS version has been taken off their website.
I have a samsung galaxy S7+ and its now working on PC and my PC is from Lenovo and its working perfectly on it.
hi, I got a question.. I uninstalled notes app by mistake and I can't install it again, I even tried apks but still didn't work, can you help??
Superb comparison!
Omg! This vídeo is perfect!
Does the s7 have the options of scanning a document and have it converted into digital notes as well?
Hello ! What's your screen protection on the SI please ?
Here's a link to the one I'm using! Although a big heads up, it consumes the spen tip a lot faster!! amzn.to/32IOSOV
@@RegularTeenager Thank you for the information ! I love your work, please keep going ! From a regular french teenager haha 😁
what ipad are you using?
A big downside on samsung notes in my opinion is the lack of the ability to just clear the highlited area
You can do that with the selection tool (both lasso and rectangle), it gives you an option to delete a selected area. You can also copy, cut, move forwards/backwards, straighten, change style, convert to text and go to clipboard (for some reason).
Hi! I'm a big fan of your channel!
I was wondering if you were planning to do a video about ONE UI 3.1 cross device copy and paste... It would be awesome!
Cheers
Where did u bought this screen protector to the Tab?? I only found glass ones, but I don't like it
Thanks!!
I found it on amazon as "paperlike screen protector for tab s6" :)!
@@RegularTeenager Thank you!!
Can I print my note, save it in my local storage as pdf and edit the PDF using other software(eg. Adobe Acrobat DC) ?
I take a lot of note on my Book(printed) but I'm planning to do it digitally. For that, I have to open My book(pdf) using a note taking software and need to do some side note on my Book. Maybe add some references from online. I will add some video links, images, notes. On the flip side, Adobe Acrobat DC allow my to edit my pdf text as well.
Which one should I buy?
Damn! This is so silly of me but I have just learned about the quick shapes from your video! These quick shapes have the feature I have always wanted and kept comlaining that "Samsung must have done long time ago, why wouldn't they do it?!". But it turned out they had done it, silly me! LOL Eraser treats quickshapes like a handwriting just like you said. I needed it to make dashed lines (I wish Snotes had dashed lines like INKredible), so now I just can draw a cube and make dashed line inside!
does the aipad have smart screen selection like the samsung tab s have?
OneNote: look, they are trying to mimic a fraction of our power
When OneNote will go back to normal size pages, I will come back. Otherwise, samsung notes is better for me!
Sir, I am teaching online classes. I have to buy tab for taking notes. Which one is best for taking notes whether Apple iPad or samsung tab?
Both are great, just pick whichever ecosystem you prefer and go by pricing
The spen has more natural feeling (softer) than the apple pencil. My tip is go for s8 ultra, not very different than din a4 size
Can you convert math formulas to type format after write by pen? 2²-2¾ etc...
Can you maybe do the link from goodnotes into the descripstion because i dort find goodnotes thanks ;)
www.goodnotes.com/
Can you make a video on surface pro note taking apps? I can't seem to find any good ones and OneNote wont work for me
I have a question please do you see a shakey handwriting when you write with a scale of 100% and it dissappears when you write it when you pinch in more like 220% or something like that
That happened to me using squid but I haven't experienced it with any other app
@@RegularTeenager Appreciate your response
I guess the time came to reset my tab
Question do you know how to link a number in a index page to open other page in that note section? Like a hyperlink(s)from page to page.
wow i haven't heard that before
Can we use the feature of shape in Samsung notes on mobile?
Are you using the Tab S7 s Pen?
Exactly:)!
Is GoodNotes free? Samsung Notes comes pre-installed on your Galaxy or is at least free to download.
No. Goodnotes is not free.
Hey can Samsung note aap be installed in Lenovo M10 tab ,it keeps saying that the version is not compatible with the device.
Ok..where do i get THAT version of samsung notes. To a small part i spired by this video,i got an tab s 8 and the samsung notes i installed there is nothing lime in your video. Only like a note taking app like a grocery list. Don't even see an option to scan paper to then write on them
Wow Thanks to your video don't need to buy Good notes I had only you Samsung notes just to put personal information not for school or anything like that 🤯🤯
Unfortunately samsung notes fails when working with pdf files. The app sometimes becomes so slow and crashes. Using it on my Z Fold 3. Which note taking app do you recommend for Android mainly using it to annotating PDF files?
I studied a one-hundred page business book in the form of a PDF that I imported to Samsung notes and highlighted, wrote notes, underlined while also doing such while using Dex for more viewing ability without one hiccup! I did this on my Note 20 Ultra. My S7+ is on the way.
@@mikelthewug that's strange. My pdf contains over thousand pages and with clickable link to navigate to different pages I am not sure why it was all the time crashing when I start scrolling. The pdf worked really well in flexil app.
whats the different s pen at last ?i have seen this one first time.different s pen
which is good for heavy note taking ?
If you take hand written notes in samsung notes and if you search for a word ...would it recognition and find the word you wrote ?
is there anyway to backup samsung notes to drive like goodnotes does?
Hi sir can we convert written content in Samsung tab to pdf
