I love Samsung notes! I have used it for so many things. Some are long term and others are things as simple as a grocery list or to do list for the week. It's simple to use, just like having a notebook, except you don't have to keep track of the notebook. I use it weekly all the time. I even use it prior to Dr appointments to remember what I need to talk about. I use it to keep track of BP, O2 levels, my pulse and my seizures. It is so simple even for this old lady who is not technology savvy!

At one time, the undo button on Samsung Notes was very prominent, and it was easy to make revisions to notes. The undo button is no longer available and swiping up, which is supposed to be the way to undo entries, does not work for me... As a result, I lost a note that was several years old in which I make daily entries. Not good!!

Thank you!! I love that the undo button is back! I use this app daily for so many things. I love that you can change background colors, text color, and all the other editing features. [UPDATE: Sadly some features disappeared. Now you cannot indent, make lists numbered or bulleted = minus 1 star] I love the drawing options too so I can make illustrations with or without my text.

There's no living without this app. It allows you to organize your files, and it's like having an old school word processor that you can completely customize. I never experience any bugs or glitches, even after updates. Samsung Notes is probably my all time most used, most referenced back to, easy to share files with other's, free app. big time. I've been a fan from the beginning and it keeps getting better.

Best part of my phone! I keep a copy of my budget, when things are due and which account they are paid from, notes from meetings when I didn't have my laptop, copy of my marriage certificate because we have different last names, annual valuation of our assets, all kinds of things I dont want to lose track of. oh, and most important, my shopping list!

I really enjoy Samsung Notes on my phone. The app is powerful and simple. It's not MS word, however what it lacks in complexity it is rich in easy to use powerful features. Explore the features bar for: fonts colors, typeface, there are tricks that you can do for line spacing, background colors, saving the note as a picture and in other useful formats, you can make checkbox documents, lined documents, and etc..... I use it to make advertising pictures for our churches Facebook page.
