So far so good. Time will tell I'm a note taking fool who writes on many Subjects & Topics. Which all vary widely so I have initial topic folders that have other labeled folders that get more specific as you open them. I keep pages of notes, screenshots, articles etc. about anything you could possibly imagine. Writing is a huge outlet for me The real test is if I can keep things simple, organized & easy to maneuver and find things easily. If this app can do all of it then I'm a keeper 4 life!

Very upset that this app doesn't support the Blu Brand of cell phones. But, to it's credit, I love Samsung notes for its ability to be synced across multiple devices, which can then be edited by multiple people and basically handles every type of document you could ever need to sign off on or edit, and sometimes even those requiring a doctoring up of unclean scans or pictures. Lovely cloud backup by Microsoft in congruence with their software to be able to be handled by all your PC devices also

It's great, but within the last week or two, the ui was changed. Before, you could click the back arrow to hide the cursor, keyboard, and edit options completely. Now, it just backs you out of the note you're in. The keyboard lowers, but the edit options and cursor are still visible. It also now requires extra navigation to use the search function. It would've been 5 stars, but I have to rate it 4 because of the change. That is mostly complaining, but I really do love this app regardless.
