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!

I use Samsung notes more than any other note, word, writing service available. its easy to use and the cloud is ahead of its competition. my only issue with it that I would love to see improve in the future is folders, my brain works different and usually forget to place things in folders, or simply forget to look at past files because the first thing visible is past notes instead of folders or the option to prioritize them. I have notes from years ago I havent looked at, always a mystery box.

The app is quite good, but there are a lot of minor issues that I have with this app. First of all, it'd be great if you could decide for each new document, wether there should be infinite scrolling or not, I want it for some Notes, but not for all. Second, why are neat shaped drawing recognized as pictures and not as drawings. Furthermore, it'd be nice if we had more room to customize Folders, I would really enjoy if the background of a folder were customizable, so that it looks better.
