Easy-to-use, no-frills app. Does what I need it to do: jot quick notes, make a bulleted list, organize items into folders. The lack of functionally unnecessary bells and whistles and choices to make is perfect for my adhd and perfectionism, allowing me to save valuable time - type or voice-record the note and MOVE ON. Nothing more to see or do here. Thank you, Samsung, for keeping it simple.

Unreliable and Messy App This app is a complete disaster. It’s not user-friendly, notes are poorly organized, and everything looks like a mess. I took important notes a few days ago, and when I tried to access them, they were completely gone—just a blank page with a title left behind. That’s all it takes for me to be done with this app. If you value your notes, DO NOT trust this app. You will lose them.
