I always use this little trick: I normally prefer to use Noteshelf, but when it comes to sync, I just export my final notes as a pdf and "send" them to Samsung notes 🌝 This allows me to use Noteshelf AND have my notes on all my devices.
I recently bought a Galaxy Tab S7+, and have been using samsung notes on my phones for a couple of years. I have recently re- started a career as an actor at the age of 57, and this article has helped me with my TV scripts, I can now load my scripts into notes , adding personal comments, split the screen and add comments for other actors, and 'port' my notes and script over to other actors and the producer when they need copies... thank you so much
I sent a long message to Samsung with comments on Notes, and they responded 45 minutes later, thanking me, saying they were reading it, and asking me to post on their Facebook site so the appropriate team makes sure to see it. Among my suggestions: 1) Make handwritten text rotatable. 2) Allow for saving favorites in the style editor, similar to the way favorite pens can be saved (The change styles feature, by the way, is fantastic. Setting up a style and then just dragging over text to change it is so easy to do.) 3) Consider more customizing options for notes and folder appearances. This is just eye-candy but right now one of the few things that Noteshelf is better at. 4) Consider renaming the app. I think that some current criticisms of the Samsung Notes update are unfair. Critics view it through the lens of a quick memo/note app. If viewed that way, perhaps the lower ratings are deserved. However, Samsung Notes is now a full-fledged handwriting note app for school, lectures, meetings etc. Consider calling it something like Samsung Notebooks? 5) Offer an option of saving to PDF as either high resolution or low resolution. While Samsung says that the current low-resolution saving is for performance reasons, this will contribute to potential users not electing to use it as their notetaking app. With the easy-write zoom, selection of pens, opening multiple windows, backup/synch, Windows version and other features, I really find it difficult now to choose Noteshelf over Samsung Notes. Notes may now also win out for me over LectureNotes and INKredible.
It is always a pleasure to read your comments and this wasn't any different. I completely agree with the suggestions you made (specially the one of the pdf resolution) and I'm really happy to see they responded quickly and that they are willing to listen for suggestions to keep improving the app:)!!
I would add to the list the ability to import PDFs from OneDrive. I can't believe this simple option isn't available. I don't save my lecture files on my tab and I don't want to. If Samsung would implement this, I will switch to Samsung Notes right away
Add the "Activate S Pen Only" function, which "Writing on PDF" has and works great for complete palm rejection, therefore no annoying unwnted dots on your notes.
Quick question, do you have the new features on the Samsung Notes app (The new highlighters, straight line highlighter, etc)? Bc I don't have it yet on my S6 Lite.
Very detailed feature, as someone who also uses samsung note, whenever i see some people reviewing the samsung notes feature it always is nothing new to me. But this video actually have feature that i didn't know about. BTW, one feature that i like that isn't really mention is "favorite pen" , you can actually use the bluetooth function of the pen by clicking the button to switch between favorite pen, its useful to me since i only uses mostly two colour of pen so it switches between them when i click the button on the pen so i dont have to always reach somewhere to change.
Thank you very much for your comment, I appreciate you giving the video a chance to see if there was something else you didn't know about and I'm glad you found something you didn't know about! I also utilize the "favorite pen" feature quite frequently and, you are right, I forgot to mention it so thank you for pointing that out:)!
there is a better way to include images in your notes from everywhere. just smart select it. pin it on screen. go to your note-taking app. hold your finger on the image that is already pinned and put it wherever you want 😊.
Thank you for this video. As background, I want to start digital note taking for my work projects. So, I purchased a Remarkable2, and quickly returned because it is painfully slow, and overpriced for what you get. I then spent weeks watching IPad videos, but I am not impressed with how my handwriting looks (regardless of the app), plus it’s expensive. So, I am now looking at the S6 Lite, and very happy to find this video. Sadly, there are tons of videos for Remarkable2 and IPad, which makes you think they are the only options.
Randomly stumbled upon this video while looking for a good app for notes. I'd been looking for a Samsung Notes mod/port for my Xiaomi Pad6 but couldn't find a stable version. Noteshelf is almost absolutely perfect for me. Thanks so much man. Edit: I just discovered that the Xiaomi pen works with minimal lag on Noteshelf and I'm on the verge of tears. No other app except Xiaomi's own crappy notes app and the overpriced Notewise has minimal-lag support with the pen. This app is an absolute lifesaver. Again, thank you so SOO much!!!
@@abdulajice45 Notewise and Noteshelf both support minimal lag and have all the features you'd need. Obviously they're not as good as SamsungNotes but they're good enough.
around 9:33 when you talked about interactive pdfs, you can click the links in Samsung NOtes, it's just that when you begin writing, it changes it to edit mode, you have to click the back button at the top left to go back into reading mode. It's a tedious process but you can use it for that
Your channel is growing! So happy for you😊 Still using the samsung notes as my main note-taking app. The most recent update makes writing even smoother and I love the syncing across all my devices.
I have been enjoying all your content on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6! They're really useful I also use the Tab S6 and I've been using Noteshelf primarily, but then I recently decided to try out Samsung Notes, and I was blown away. I felt like Samsung Notes is the app I wanted Noteshelf to be I enjoy in Samsung Notes that you can organize the notes like thumbnails or in a list, whereas in Noteshelf it's stuck in the notebook on a shelf, which I find kind of inconvenient I also found it annoying on Noteshelf how they only show one page on the screen, and when you run out space, you just have to create a new page, whereas in Samsung Notes, the pages are vertical and you can scroll endlessly, and pages get added automatically. They also have the infinite scrolling feature which I have been using instead of the individual pages, and when you export the infinite scrolling to PDF, it automatically makes the pages appear in the PDF Also, the recent update with Samsung Notes made the easy writing pad available in landscape mode!! Thanks for the reviews and I look forward to more of your content ! (:
I totally agree with wanting noteshelf to have some of samsung notes features! Both of the apps are great and they seem to be releasing updates somewhat frequently (hopefully that continues...). Thank you very very much for your support, I am glad the videos are helpful:)!!
Quick tip i have been using to import images into samsung notes is to use smart select, pin to screen and then you can just do a long press and drag it into your notes
Thank you sm for this, i recently got my s6 lite and am looking for note taking apps. Didn't want to pay for noteshelf bc im low on budget. Incredibly grateful for samsung notes' update 😭
Hey g. I want to get the s7 lite when it is released. But wanted to ask how is your experience with the s6 lite. I need it only for note taking from my classes.
By the way, I also use one of the Samsung Notes widgets and Noteshelf doesn't have any. You can add a 4x2 widget and choose any Note to show in it, so I made a daily planner and have quick access to change it and to see my plans on the screen. In Noteshelf I like that you can name bookmarks to make it easier to search. I was sure I can't reorder pdf in Samsung Notes that's why I continued using it for handwritten notes and Noteshelf for book annotation after buying S7+ where Noteshelf is preinstalled. Because I liked the feature that I can reorder pages, add blank ones for my notes. But after watching your video I found how to do it in Samsung Notes. I used "infinite scrolling pages" that's why I didn't see that option :D Thank you!
I'm really glad the video was helpful in some way! I had seem samsung notes' widgets but I didn't realize they have one that displays your notes. Thank you very much for sharing:)!!
There is a problem that bothers me in samsung notes . After exporting the notes as pdf .... the hand writing and pictures quality becomes very bad and you will be able to see the actual pixels .
Great deep but focused video, thx! I am still struggling to find the note taking app that best fits me, I was considering OneNote and Nebo (both full cross platform: Win, iOs and Android), but I must consider Noteshelf (which I was to set aside for the missing Win support) and Samsung Note (which I already have in my small S7 but wrongly never taken into consideration, though I guess will miss iPad support). As you say difficult to find THE one to stick at 😅
Great comparison. I wanted to like Noteshelf, but honestly the integration with the OS and S Pen is better for the Samsung Notes. Plus I think the writing experience is marginally better on Samsung Notes too btw, what happens to your channel once you turn 20?
I completely agree with you, I have personally experienced the writing difference between the apps and it is better in samsung notes! And regarding the channel, I think I will stand on the argument that I will still be a teenager by soul hahaha. Thank you very much for your support:)!!
I think there is a mistake in the integral bounds for the CDF at 6:05 . The upper bound needs to be x. Otherwise the CDF would be a constant 1 and independent from x.
That's cheating hahaha, I'm really happy that noteshelf is pre-installed on the tab s7/s7+ lineup and can't wait to see the improvements they make to the app:)!
@@RegularTeenager Yes its a little bit cheating, but i didn't know that, before i saw it. Now i am waiting for the tablet case, and then i can use it in the school. Hopefully there coming more features like creating some tabels and also a ruler (like the Apple writing app) would be nice.
Great video, learned something new again! I use both apps, but in my opinion after recent updates of Samsung Notes app, it is levels above Noteshelf. But I still use Noteshelf for Powerpoint presentations because thats where I feel they have a slight advantage
lol just took a Automata and Formal Languages class over the summer and it looks like the same stuff you were taking notes on in the intro. Got a straight up F, that shit was impossible. I just got a tablet though so hopefully I'll do better using Samsung Notes when I retake it this quarter. Great video btw!
I've the S6 Lite. I've been trying Samsung Notes for a days and Noteshelf today (less than a half hour). I think my writing looks better on Noteshelf. However, Noteshelf options looks pretty similar to Samsung Notes so I'd recommend it for people that can't use Samsung Notes or doesn't have a Samsung device. For my opinion and if you're going to use the shape form tool I prefer Samsung Notes specially if you're going to draw arrows (Noteshelf doesn't do the arrows properly at least for me).
Yayyyyyy, yousaid the PDF thing that we've talked about! That really was a deal breaker to me, I had to have a great PDF transcription. GREAT review!!! All the best from Brazil!
Samsung Notes is great with the new update. I'm using it for university and it's absolutely perfect! Thanks for showing how to download it on your laptop. That was the only thing missing :)
I was using Noteshelf, but i had a problem when i tried to import to PDF, no matter the stylus you use on your notes, it always import in a default stylus, at least you do on PNG format, but then you will have to convert to PDF. But these days Samsung Notes send an update for the app, and it's just great, it has everything i need
Great informative video! My only tip would be to show somewhere on screen which note app you are currently on, can get confusing to remember which app you are talking about or using when I'm unfamiliar with their look. Thanks for the vid, deserved a like.
I wish there was a proper Samsung notes for windows. the error that I received is "this app is only compatible for galaxy book"what a shame. this is something that I'm most struggling right now
Hey! A fellow CS student! I recently bought the Tab S7+ because I got tired of using so much scrap paper when doing math practice problems and I wanted to be able to do the worksheets, export to pdf, and send all in one motion. Which app do you use for which kind of classes? Your video gives me an idea of what I'd use for what but since we have the same major and take the same classes I'd love your insight into which classes Samsung Notes excels at over Noteshelf and vice versa. Noteshelf looks super slick so I hope I can use it the most.
Last semester I tried to use both of the apps for my classes but this semester I've decided to only use samsung notes as it provides a more consistent environment with quick cloud backup which allows me to view and edit my notes on my other devices. I still consider to use noteshelf whenever I need to send back my notes as a pdf because it provides a more detailed file:)!
@@RegularTeenager Thank you for taking the time to reply. That's really helpful. Currently Samsung Note is unavailable for everyone on the windows store so I think I'll go with Noteshelf until that changes. I'm a sucker for a pretty ui. 🙂
Hey! I am going to buy one, can you please give me your feedback for the note taking aspect of the S7 plus. My work is pretty much said by you, mathematical problems, a bit of Boolean Algebra which will be a lot next class, I am in grade 11 though, which apps you prefer and a general insight, if you may... It's literally all my savings, I want to know what I am getting into. And if possible, which subjects to take later on if I want to pursue a career in ML and Data Science.
About the issue with the notebook's hyperlinks-that can actually be done with samsung notes. The hyperlinks can be used if you dont edit your notes. Just click back
Great video, brother. I appreciate the in-depth review of both apps as I am looking for a better way to keep notes in all the Zoom meetings I have to attend. Keep up the good way.
your videos are amazing! I'm thinking about buying a tab s6 lite but I wasn't sure since in my country they're quite expensive. however, watching your videos has helped me make up my mind and I'm buying one next month love your content! ❤️❤️
I hadn't even seen the new highlighters. They are so awesome!! 😍😍 Great video as always!! Hopefully Samsung comes out with new page templates. Because losing the ability to change the background when using pdf templates takes the fun out of it a little 😂
one thing everyone who is commenting here is forgetting about Samsung notes. it's only on Samsung phones and tablets so five year down the line when lenovo comes out with an awesome tablet and wipes out Samsung (hypothetically) all your notes are gone. you can't migrate them to one note or use them on a different hardware.
LectureNotes is a really good and consistent option, I just wish it had a friendlier UI for more people to consider using it. Thanks to you for your support:)!
This is such a great video! I don't think there is one of your videos I haven't enjoyed or that hasnt been helpful. Do you switch between the 3 note-taking apps in all of your classes or are there certain classes where you use a certain app?
I'm more than glad to help! I use specific apps for certain classes but there are 2 classes that I have notes on multiple apps. If you want the specifics: - Physics: LectureNotes for class notes and Samsung Notes for class notes, study sessions, HW, and lab - Theory of Automata: Noteshelf for annotating on presentations and Samsung Notes for classes/HW
Great video bro, please keep updated. Planning to buy s6 lite but missing 2 features in samsung notes, 1. Font family option in typed text 2. Importing from google search; Someone here pointed out you can do that by using samsung internet browser, can you confirm it?
I totally agree, when I used to take typed notes on OneNote (with the desktop version) font options where really helpful and gave a better experience. Hopefully they implement them in a future update! Also, I just checked and the comments are right: you can import images through the samsung browser!
That's a really amazing video😀 I haven't got the Highlighter update as yet, I'm literally waiting for it. Also, how can I get that daily planner and the notebook you were using? I am looking for something like that.
Thank you very very much, hopefully you get the update soon:)! Link to my to-do/daily planner: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RmKYqIrUcAQl9aBfcY7kg_dZuxmIXv5c?usp=sharing Link to the notebook (not created by me): drive.google.com/drive/folders/19VWnWPZGHWrU6tPBpbkd5sXoPWn6YsW0?usp=sharing
Tremendously good video! :)) We are getting there! (at least with samsung notes, hopefully they'll be the vanguard for better notetaking apps on android) Difficult task though, considering the sheer amount of devices that it needs to be optimised for...
i watched all of your taking notes series. Thank you very much. Now, Im looking for the tablet. . I just want a tablet for studying (taking notes). I first was interested in the s7 but is a bit expensive compared to the s6 lite. But if the s7 is worth it, I would go for that one. But as I said before, is only for taking notes, I dont care gaming and other stuff. Do you think the s6 lite is the right choice? thank you
I consider both are great devices, if you wanna save some money you can go for the tab s6 lite and it is going to allow you to take notes with absolutely no problems. On the other hand, if you decide to pay more and go for the s7 you are going to have a smoother screen with a more responsive spen (although it is not noticeable in all apps). You can take notes with both of them, the experience you receive depends on the one you choose. Plus I consider they are also really good media consumption devices so you might end up also using it for that too:)!
I need an app within you can have floating pages like lectureNotes (the problem with lectureNotes is laggy when writting) Thank you !! you doing nice job
Great videos! Thank you for all the content. I was wondering if you might know if there is a way to fill in a shape in Samsung Notes? This is so easy on GoodNotes (iOS) but I cannot find an app to this on my Samsung Tablet. Anyway thought you might Know - keep up the good work!
I recently bought a digital planner that is a pdf file with more than 700 pages and lots of links, and noticed that Noteshelf handles it better than Samsung Notes.
Thank you for this video! I am planning on buying S6 lite for note taking as I'm in the last year of law school & getting ready to sit for judge exam which requires 2-3 years of preparation with extensive note taking. But the problem is in my country I can't replace the s-pen tip in case it wears out or if I ever break it . So do you recommend buying an extra stylus? Can you suggest any affordable but durable stylus (which comes with extra nibs) & also works well with Samsung tabs?
I am currently looking for replacement tips for the spen and I consider the price difference is quite significant if you want to go for an extra stylus rather than replacement tips (although I completely understand that is because of your country). I personally don't have any experience with third party styluses but I've heard really positive comments of logitech ones. I hope this works and I will try to get some third party styluses on my own to test them and include them in a future video:)!
You can if you use a pdf template for your notes with a predefined size (default templates don't really have a size) but if you want to use the default templates, you can "print" your notes (to transform them to pdf) and choose the paper size you want to use and your notes are going to adapt to it:)!!
I love this video ! I dont have this tablet ..yet. but in the future i am going to be a teacher and i have a really bad laptop ( old ) and i wanted an update. So i am going to have this one. ❤❤❤
On my Tab S6 Lite in Samsung Notes, when I imported a template writing started to lag. In Noteshelf it still worked fine. Did anyone else run into this? I'm mostly using Noteshelf now. I like the covers for the notebooks and the two levels of organization are enough for me, and I want to export my files with a good resolution. That's just my preference, everyone has different needs.
I haven't heard about this problem butI can really imagine how it affects the user experience. Good thing is you could find a solution with noteshelf:)!
@@RegularTeenager This happened a while ago. It might have been corrected in an update. I was just looking at Samsung Notes in the Galaxy store and there is an update that improves problems with slow handwriting

Samsung notes hang like crazy while handling heavy PDFs like 100-200 mbs..any suggestions please
@@Somethingsm2u depends on your device, mine manages big pdfs with much ease..
Try clearing cache. It may help
In Samsung notes if you click the button on the pen and touch your highlighter stroke it'll only delete the highlighter and not the text.

Great comparison. I wanted to like Noteshelf, but honestly the integration with the OS and S Pen is better for the Samsung Notes. Plus I think the writing experience is marginally better on Samsung Notes too
btw, what happens to your channel once you turn 20?
I completely agree with you, I have personally experienced the writing difference between the apps and it is better in samsung notes!
And regarding the channel, I think I will stand on the argument that I will still be a teenager by soul hahaha. Thank you very much for your support:)!!
Yeah true
I think there is a mistake in the integral bounds for the CDF at 6:05 . The upper bound needs to be x. Otherwise the CDF would be a constant 1 and independent from x.
Yeah, you're totally right. It was a mistake from the book/slides which I saw until I was studying for the exam!
I like how I understand what you've written in the notes, cause we have similar subjects
I think the prize for Noteshelf is okay, because its preinstalled on my Tab S7 :D
That's cheating hahaha, I'm really happy that noteshelf is pre-installed on the tab s7/s7+ lineup and can't wait to see the improvements they make to the app:)!
@@RegularTeenager Yes its a little bit cheating, but i didn't know that, before i saw it. Now i am waiting for the tablet case, and then i can use it in the school. Hopefully there coming more features like creating some tabels and also a ruler (like the Apple writing app) would be nice.
@@RegularTeenager hey! I have Noteshelf pre installed on my tablet too. My question is will I receive future updates as well? 🤔
@@runayred yeah, you should receive them with no problem:)!
I read somewhere there's was nebo pre-installed too, but alas.
Great video, learned something new again! I use both apps, but in my opinion after recent updates of Samsung Notes app, it is levels above Noteshelf. But I still use Noteshelf for Powerpoint presentations because thats where I feel they have a slight advantage
I'm glad the video was useful! Thanks for sharing and for your support:)!!
lol just took a Automata and Formal Languages class over the summer and it looks like the same stuff you were taking notes on in the intro. Got a straight up F, that shit was impossible. I just got a tablet though so hopefully I'll do better using Samsung Notes when I retake it this quarter. Great video btw!
I laughed so hard with your comment! Hope the tablet helps with your future courses, thanks for your support:)!
Samsung Notes is so fucking good.
But HORIZONTAL pages
Thx, very informative. It helped me a lot. I think now i will switch from note shelf to S notes cause it is less buggy
Definitely samsung notes is a lot more consistent! Thanks to you for your comment, I'm glad to help:)!
4K?! Omg im so proud of youu❤
❤❤❤
I've the S6 Lite. I've been trying Samsung Notes for a days and Noteshelf today (less than a half hour). I think my writing looks better on Noteshelf. However, Noteshelf options looks pretty similar to Samsung Notes so I'd recommend it for people that can't use Samsung Notes or doesn't have a Samsung device. For my opinion and if you're going to use the shape form tool I prefer Samsung Notes specially if you're going to draw arrows (Noteshelf doesn't do the arrows properly at least for me).
I totally agree!!
Noteshelf now has shapes support!
Yayyyyyy, yousaid the PDF thing that we've talked about! That really was a deal breaker to me, I had to have a great PDF transcription. GREAT review!!! All the best from Brazil!
Yeah, thank you for mentioning it!! It is a big difference when you need to send your notes as a PDF. Thanks for your support:)!
Samsung Notes is great with the new update. I'm using it for university and it's absolutely perfect!
Thanks for showing how to download it on your laptop. That was the only thing missing :)
I saw the method in a comment on a blog post and I knew I needed to share it! Thanks to you for your support:)!
Can u sync the changes to drive? Thanks
This was SO helpful for me as a future college student that needed an alternative to paper and pencil notes!!!!! Thank you so much for this video 🥰
The latency on samsung note is incredible. It feel pretty much like 120hz display on Tab s6 despite the 60hz screen.
Totally agree, that's a great hidden feature:)!
I was using Noteshelf, but i had a problem when i tried to import to PDF, no matter the stylus you use on your notes, it always import in a default stylus, at least you do on PNG format, but then you will have to convert to PDF. But these days Samsung Notes send an update for the app, and it's just great, it has everything i need
Samsung keeps pushing really good updates for the app, hopefully they continue doing it:)!!
Thank you for being someone who mentioned how shitty Samsung Notes' PDF export quality is. I do not understand that. They need to fix it
i don't know if somebody has pointed this out, but in samsung notes, the hyperlinks can work in reading mode, not in edit mode. hope it helps
Thank you very much for pointing it out:)!!
I hv tab s6 lite really amazing its been 3 months samsung notes is really amazing 👏 no need of any other app according to me
Great informative video! My only tip would be to show somewhere on screen which note app you are currently on, can get confusing to remember which app you are talking about or using when I'm unfamiliar with their look. Thanks for the vid, deserved a like.
Thank you very very much! Great tip, I'll definitely take it into consideration:)!
Thanks you so much, I was finally able to install Samsung notes on my pc.
A pleasure to help:)!
You can import images in Samsung notes. Using Samsung's own Internet browser and simply drag and drop
That is really helpful information. Thank you very much for sharing:)!!
For the hyperlinks, it is now working in samsung notes. Exit in editing mode and hyperlinks will now work.
I wish there was a proper Samsung notes for windows. the error that I received is "this app is only compatible for galaxy book"what a shame. this is something that I'm most struggling right now
Hey! A fellow CS student! I recently bought the Tab S7+ because I got tired of using so much scrap paper when doing math practice problems and I wanted to be able to do the worksheets, export to pdf, and send all in one motion. Which app do you use for which kind of classes? Your video gives me an idea of what I'd use for what but since we have the same major and take the same classes I'd love your insight into which classes Samsung Notes excels at over Noteshelf and vice versa. Noteshelf looks super slick so I hope I can use it the most.
Last semester I tried to use both of the apps for my classes but this semester I've decided to only use samsung notes as it provides a more consistent environment with quick cloud backup which allows me to view and edit my notes on my other devices. I still consider to use noteshelf whenever I need to send back my notes as a pdf because it provides a more detailed file:)!
@@RegularTeenager Thank you for taking the time to reply. That's really helpful. Currently Samsung Note is unavailable for everyone on the windows store so I think I'll go with Noteshelf until that changes. I'm a sucker for a pretty ui. 🙂
Hey! I am going to buy one, can you please give me your feedback for the note taking aspect of the S7 plus. My work is pretty much said by you, mathematical problems, a bit of Boolean Algebra which will be a lot next class, I am in grade 11 though, which apps you prefer and a general insight, if you may... It's literally all my savings, I want to know what I am getting into. And if possible, which subjects to take later on if I want to pursue a career in ML and Data Science.
@@doc9448 you can install samsung notes
About the issue with the notebook's hyperlinks-that can actually be done with samsung notes. The hyperlinks can be used if you dont edit your notes. Just click back
You're totally right, thanks for sharing:)!!
Great video, brother. I appreciate the in-depth review of both apps as I am looking for a better way to keep notes in all the Zoom meetings I have to attend. Keep up the good way.
Thanks to you for supporting the content! I appreciate it:)!
Awesome video, brother. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it, all the best for you and the channel!
Thanks to you for supporting the content:)!!
You know i already knew all those tricks !
your videos are amazing! I'm thinking about buying a tab s6 lite but I wasn't sure since in my country they're quite expensive. however, watching your videos has helped me make up my mind and I'm buying one next month
love your content! ❤️❤️
I'm really glad my videos are helpful and I'm hoping you enjoy your future tab s6 lite! Thank you very very much for your support:)!!
I really like the writing experience on noteshelf..its really smooth
I have tried out most apps and i can honestly say the samsung notes beats them in every aspect
I hadn't even seen the new highlighters. They are so awesome!! 😍😍
Great video as always!!
Hopefully Samsung comes out with new page templates. Because losing the ability to change the background when using pdf templates takes the fun out of it a little 😂
Thank you very very much! I definitely agree, hopefully they release it in a new update soon:)!!
This was help me to decide which app to use as the both came on my tab s7 plus
I'm glad it helped:)!
Super detailed and complete!! Congrats 👏 I'm definitely subscribing!
Thank you very much for your support, I'm really glad you liked it:)!
Samsung notes upping up their game!
Thank you so much! Loved your thoughts on this comparison. Very objective!
Hi, I would like Samsung Notes to add the ability to crop the imported image freehand rather than only square as it has on Snote.
Yeah, I totally agree. That'd be a really handy feature:)!
Noteshelf is best for me because its head office is near to my house ( Hyderabad , India ) 😁
OMG, this is the video I was looking for. Thank you.
I got a feature to automatically inport my notes from Samsung Notes app to OneNote on my PC with the latest updtae.
Oh how!?
Yeah that was announced 18 days ago.
That's huge!! I haven't received the update yet but I will try to include that information in a future video. Thank you very much for sharing:)!!
@@RegularTeenager I have it on my tablet, but hadn't got in on my phone yet. So I assume it comes in waves
Wow, great!
Noteshelf... Paper size , Rasterise your notes while zoom out on your notes
Do you know that if you put samsung notes into reading mode that hyperlinks then work?
Whoa!!! I've had this tablet for a few months and I did not know you could open up apps side by side without using Dex 😱😱😱
Well, I'm m glad the video was helpful:)!
one thing everyone who is commenting here is forgetting about Samsung notes. it's only on Samsung phones and tablets so five year down the line when lenovo comes out with an awesome tablet and wipes out Samsung (hypothetically) all your notes are gone. you can't migrate them to one note or use them on a different hardware.
The video is helpful but👍🏻.
But one advice when you write in the bottom left or right corner that you show the s7+ or the iPad.
I'm glad it's helpful and thank you very much for the advice, I'll definitely consider it when recording the next video:)!
I'm from Brazil and yours video really helped me out
I'm glad to help! Thank you very much for your support:)!
Thank you. Nice Comparison. I used lecture notes for a long time, now with Tab S7 plus I wonder what to use now.
LectureNotes is a really good and consistent option, I just wish it had a friendlier UI for more people to consider using it. Thanks to you for your support:)!
This is such a great video! I don't think there is one of your videos I haven't enjoyed or that hasnt been helpful. Do you switch between the 3 note-taking apps in all of your classes or are there certain classes where you use a certain app?
I'm more than glad to help! I use specific apps for certain classes but there are 2 classes that I have notes on multiple apps. If you want the specifics:
- Physics: LectureNotes for class notes and Samsung Notes for class notes, study sessions, HW, and lab
- Theory of Automata: Noteshelf for annotating on presentations and Samsung Notes for classes/HW
@@RegularTeenager ah thank you😊
Great video bro, please keep updated.
Planning to buy s6 lite but missing 2 features in samsung notes,
1. Font family option in typed text
2. Importing from google search; Someone here pointed out you can do that by using samsung internet browser, can you confirm it?
I totally agree, when I used to take typed notes on OneNote (with the desktop version) font options where really helpful and gave a better experience. Hopefully they implement them in a future update!
Also, I just checked and the comments are right: you can import images through the samsung browser!
@@RegularTeenager 😍 So one problem solved. Thanks bro 👍👍
Waiting for more app updates.. 😁
That's a really amazing video😀 I haven't got the Highlighter update as yet, I'm literally waiting for it. Also, how can I get that daily planner and the notebook you were using? I am looking for something like that.
Thank you very very much, hopefully you get the update soon:)!

@@RegularTeenager Thank you so much..😁 Will be waiting for mor videos. 👍
Very helpful video
Keep up the good work 👏 👍
I have used both , n i prefer Samsung notes and they are bringing in new features too with the update
Yeah, hopefully samsung keeps releasing regular updates to samsung notes! Thank you very much for your support:)!
Tremendously good video! :)) We are getting there! (at least with samsung notes, hopefully they'll be the vanguard for better notetaking apps on android) Difficult task though, considering the sheer amount of devices that it needs to be optimised for...
Totally agree! Thanks to you for your support:)!
i watched all of your taking notes series. Thank you very much. Now, Im looking for the tablet. . I just want a tablet for studying (taking notes). I first was interested in the s7 but is a bit expensive compared to the s6 lite. But if the s7 is worth it, I would go for that one. But as I said before, is only for taking notes, I dont care gaming and other stuff. Do you think the s6 lite is the right choice? thank you
I consider both are great devices, if you wanna save some money you can go for the tab s6 lite and it is going to allow you to take notes with absolutely no problems. On the other hand, if you decide to pay more and go for the s7 you are going to have a smoother screen with a more responsive spen (although it is not noticeable in all apps).
You can take notes with both of them, the experience you receive depends on the one you choose. Plus I consider they are also really good media consumption devices so you might end up also using it for that too:)!
I need an app within you can have floating pages like lectureNotes (the problem with lectureNotes is laggy when writting)
Thank you !! you doing nice job
Great videos! Thank you for all the content. I was wondering if you might know if there is a way to fill in a shape in Samsung Notes? This is so easy on GoodNotes (iOS) but I cannot find an app to this on my Samsung Tablet. Anyway thought you might Know - keep up the good work!
I would suggest usin noteshelf app.. its equivalent to notability and good notes .... really good one
Its been like 2 years now. I would really like to see new comparison video in 2022 or 2023
😊
When I write Notes with pen
My hand touch the screen
Is this affect or cut pen line ?
I ask about s 7
No, if you have the spen close to the screen, the tablet blocks any other inputs:)!
Hands down best comparison and review ever. Please review paper tabs also
Is paper tabs an app? I was not able to find it on the play store. Thank you very much for your support, I'm glad you enjoyed the video:)!
@@RegularTeenager no no what i meant was paper tablets like "remarkable"
Yeah, I imagined you meant that hahaha. Hopefully in the future I can get one and include it in a video:)!!
You can use interactive pdfs in Samsung notes but you can't use it in editing mode
Can both apps recognise specific text/hand written word when we search them specifically?
You really have chewed this apps to have known all these features. I am still struggling to use all features on Samsung notes
Totally haha, I use them daily so I have a lot of time to test their features:)!
I recently bought a digital planner that is a pdf file with more than 700 pages and lots of links, and noticed that Noteshelf handles it better than Samsung Notes.
Thank you for this video! I am planning on buying S6 lite for note taking as I'm in the last year of law school & getting ready to sit for judge exam which requires 2-3 years of preparation with extensive note taking. But the problem is in my country I can't replace the s-pen tip in case it wears out or if I ever break it . So do you recommend buying an extra stylus? Can you suggest any affordable but durable stylus (which comes with extra nibs) & also works well with Samsung tabs?
I am currently looking for replacement tips for the spen and I consider the price difference is quite significant if you want to go for an extra stylus rather than replacement tips (although I completely understand that is because of your country). I personally don't have any experience with third party styluses but I've heard really positive comments of logitech ones. I hope this works and I will try to get some third party styluses on my own to test them and include them in a future video:)!
The adonit dash 3 is one of the best styluses for notes taking(although on the more expensive side)It will be compatible with your device!
Can I have a specific paper size ome samsung notes?
Like A4
You can if you use a pdf template for your notes with a predefined size (default templates don't really have a size) but if you want to use the default templates, you can "print" your notes (to transform them to pdf) and choose the paper size you want to use and your notes are going to adapt to it:)!!
Thank You For this Video It was very Helpful!
One reason I use Noteshelf is Horizontal Paper, if SN gets the horizontal paper, hands-down SN wins!
I'm curious, what tablet are you using at the moment?
The tab s6:)!
It's finally here!
Took forever to make but I was finally able to finish it:)!
Can you save all your Samsung notes ? What are the size of these notes? I fear if the Samsung cloud storage run-out?
I love this video ! I dont have this tablet ..yet. but in the future i am going to be a teacher and i have a really bad laptop ( old ) and i wanted an update. So i am going to have this one. ❤❤❤
Thanks to you for your support, I'm glad to help:)!!
If u are not editing and just navigating, on samsung notes u can use interactive pdfs too
You are totally correct, thank you very very much for letting us know!!
Awesome video! Can you please do Samsung Notes vs. LectureNotes next?
Yeah, I'll make sure to make a comparison video in the future:)!
Great video man!
Thank you very much:)!
On my Tab S6 Lite in Samsung Notes, when I imported a template writing started to lag. In Noteshelf it still worked fine. Did anyone else run into this? I'm mostly using Noteshelf now. I like the covers for the notebooks and the two levels of organization are enough for me, and I want to export my files with a good resolution. That's just my preference, everyone has different needs.
I'm having S6 lite.. didn't happened with me
I haven't heard about this problem butI can really imagine how it affects the user experience. Good thing is you could find a solution with noteshelf:)!
@@RegularTeenager This happened a while ago. It might have been corrected in an update. I was just looking at Samsung Notes in the Galaxy store and there is an update that improves problems with slow handwriting
How did you download Samsung notes on laptop? I am unable to do so.
I explain it on 12:05 :)!
