Samsung Notes

A practical notebook for Samsung devices

Samsung Notes is a note-taking app for writing, drawing, collecting images and recording audio in one place. It suits students, office users and anyone who wants more than a plain text memo, especially on a Samsung phone or tablet with an S Pen. Notes can also be accessed across supported mobile, tablet and PC devices.

Write, draw and annotate

You can type a quick reminder or create handwritten pages with pens, pencils, fountain pens and highlighters. Colour and line-width controls make it useful for sketches, marked-up study notes and meeting pages. The app also supports PDF annotation, including handwriting with an S Pen, so a document can be reviewed without moving between several apps.

Keep different kinds of content together

A note can include photos, scanned documents and voice recordings alongside text or handwriting. This makes Samsung Notes suitable for project references, lecture material, receipts and spoken reminders. It can also work with documents connected to formats and services such as PDF, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint. Existing notes from Samsung’s S Note and Memo apps can be brought over using supported Samsung account or Smart Switch options.

What the numbers suggest

With a 4.79 rating from 13,297,190 reviews and 1,000,000,000+ installs, Samsung Notes is a widely used choice rather than a niche utility. Its main appeal is the combination of ordinary note-taking with pen input, document markup and media attachments. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. publishes the app in the Productivity category, and note-locking options provide an extra layer for entries that should not be opened casually.
