Besides what other people have mentioned including a pencil that is so light that you need to press down very hard to simulate a real pencil's opaqueness, the main downgrade is the view of the notes when they are shown all at once. Before if you hovered over the note you would get a preview of it. Now there is a tiny circle that barely shows the lower half of the note and only half the title of the note is shown.

Love everything about S pen. I use it religiously every day. One suggestion that would make it even greater than what it is, could you add an option for the "Screen Off Memo" to turn that action memo to lockscreen background or maybe just keep it on the screen after putting back the S pen.. ( right now as soon as we insert the S pen back into phone, the action memo gets saved and disappears, hence adding few steps to get back to it). Thank you in advance. Loyal Note customer

I use this app constantly but most of all for my shopping list. Then I discovered the widget option in the premium version and loved it even more. It was so handy to have my shopping list right there on my home screen and be able to edit it quickly and easily. But for some reason it keeps disappearing and I have to reset the widget a lot. Disappointing! Please fix!

The very first version of Snote on Note Edge was the best of its kind. It was user-friendly and practical. I could almost use it for any kind of noting. However with the latest upgrades, I have almost nothing to do with it. To be honest, ow I prefer using a real pencil and a paper now. Unfortunately I didn't like the idea of changing the good for the sake of bad to make your customers buy the latest models

This used to e a great app. Now TONS of options seem to have been stripped out of it. Why fix something that was SO not broken? How do you get a landscape orientation note now? Grrr!

by Q####:

We need to zoom out to even use the top of the screen. Why not add a simple toggle to hide it so we can use the entire screen? This trivial thing is almost a deal breaker. Is there any chance this will be added in future updates, Samsung? Seems like a simple fix.

Wish I knew everything this app can do, so far is been OK. But I don't know everything it can do. Samsung, you should offer classes on how to maximize usage of this great phone (Note 5) for older people like me who are not at all in anyway tech savvy like the millennials are...

Q70%
by Q####:

It's not like the old version whereby one click you can add a note. This new version require several steps before you can take note, and you're prompted to name a new folder name, making saving a tedious process. Why on earth do you want us to select folder page design? The small circle with partial content in it force you to tap on it to peek what's inside. Notes are meant to be taken, get job done and deleted. This is so complicating.

At least fix it so it stops cutting off long equations on the left hand side. Also add sec and csc as recognized functions please. I'd ask more but you guys don't seem to even care about this bug fix, let alone making improvements to the app.

Was very admired when I first used this when I got a hold of my first Galaxy note phone. Love everything about it besides using regular paper and is very handy. Needs a paint bucket option though when I draw and when I don't feel like coloring in myself.

It's the best app I have found for writing novels. My biggest annoyance is when I fill a page up with words it's starts to glitch out towards the end of the page. There is a slight delay between typing and it showing up on the screen creating many errors. Not to mention it's annoying af. This is the only app I use on my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 since the tablet is just for writing. Anyone have any suggestions for a better writing app since I know the devs will never reply to me on here?

S note. The lastest version is terrible. you should have left well enough alone. it was really good before. now it is not user-friendly. I don't like the way the app defaults to drawing. Old version defaulted to text. Very unclear how to save your work.

I have used the this app and the pen practically daily since I got the phone in 2014. I enjoyed having multiple backgrounds and layouts to work with because I would make all my notes look different, so needless to say I am very familiar with what this app has and had to offer. I would check for new layouts weekly, excited at the prospect of adding another favorite background to my collection. Then one day..... :( everything was gone! If I could revert to the old S note I wouldn't hesitate. Please fix it!!!

I lost several important notes because of their cumbersome sync process. The user must back up notes to Samsung or when you change phones it all goes away. There is no 'sync' button. I am very disappointed I lost these vital pieces of information.

by Q####:

This application looks and feels good. However, in the last upgrade, in the Hebrew version the number of notes in each category is numbered in the category column within the parenthesis in ARABIC numerals and not REGULAR NUMERALS. Another flaw is that sometimes when I open the application I get doubled notes in the ALL column.Unfortunately there is no way of sending a screen shot to show. I would appreciate it if you correct these flaws.

This update is the WORST ! ...now i can't save any action memo to an already made note..action memo shortcut is gone and replaced with a mic which i never use...i cant organize anything now specialy the action memos.. y fix it if it's not broken ??

I'm so completely disappointed with all the features I loved about S Note, being removed. I have no idea what the purpose of that was, because I see no matching improvements in there place. If you're going to remove a feature, then at least replace it with something better, don't just take helpful, interactive features away. I loved, and constantly used the insert a video on a canvas feature, that is gone now. I would use it to explain something I was doing, then send to a person, in which case, now, taking a camera shot of myself serves no purpose at all, but that's the feature they kept. Also, as a substitute I could've used the record a sketch and voice recorder at the same time, but that too was removed, making this app no more than a cool toy, as opposed to the powerful useful tool, that it used to be. Please stop removing amazing features, before you reduce this app into nothing more than the basic iPhone note app...also completely useless. Please bring these features back!!

I use this app a lot on my Note 5. I use it on my Windows PC. What I would like to use it on is my new tablet. Because of this set back, I am forced to migrate to a new app that will sync between all my devices. It's a shame.

Ever since the update to the "newer" version, S-Note has become so laggy and unresponsive, that it's completely unusable now. Pens don't have the correct pressure sensitivity like they used to, line thickness is wrong and never consistent, there are major calibration bugs when you get close to the top & bottom and all edges of notes, and templates? What templates?? Note cover system is now awful & so much more.. Seriously, it's ruined. Used to be great, now it's garbage. 5 piles of

I had to get a new phone, and added s notes to the new phone, had my old notes transfered over. When I went to go open the notes it came up as "invalid file format". Very disappointed, I had some very important information and now it's gone.

Only thing is that I originally used the action memos religiously... they were my favorite and perfect... so glad they were brought back, but now they have ugly, uninspiring pen colors... would appreciate better choices. The original colors in previous versions were great!

I used S Note on Galaxy Note 3 where I recorded my son's first words which were really funny as he said them in a strange way. I got note 5 last year and only now I wanted to see that notebook but it wasn't there. I don't have my old phone. What do I do? Those were precious memories...

Heads up, i found "Squid" for all you looking for different app. Since updates I'm having problems with this app......it sometimes makes several copies of certain folders I have....why????

I use this app everyday, but lately considering looking for another app. Please fix

This app would be awesome if they combined the Note 5 S Pen along with the Note 2 S Note app. Truly sad that Samsung cannot put together a phone that is 100% awesome. They always miss something.

The new update made everything worse I can not save multiple action notes as one S note. I have to do it 1 by 1 When the screen is off and you take out the pen, you can only write 1 page and there is no option to add pages In general, it is a good and usefull app

The only reason to buy Samsung note is s note app. Image to text feature for arabic language could have been great advantage.presently it foes not recognize arabic writing from image.

Q70%
by Q####:

S Note is a joy to use in the sense that it supports both drawing and text at the same time. However, the single page feature is very restrictive for long text input. I would always have to click on the bottom right arrow that gives an overview of the rest of the texts, which defeats the purpose of customising font sizes and styles. To fix this, it's either pages supporting vertical scrolling, or carrying pending texts over to the next page. The other suggestion is implement subcategories like onenote.

Fixed something unbroken. I had to update SNote & realized that I had to find, download, & install tools that were automatically included before. At least there aren't constant update requests for those downloaded features. Not a big fan of the pencil modification, I use the app to draw & when I tried to touch up prev. doodles I saw its quality had changed. They also lightened the black on the toolbar. I wish they'd added a smudging tool instead of this pointless stuff & let us at least edit toolbar features. The shape recognition mode automatically changes to text which is annoying. You can no longer simply export drawings to your gallery. One of the few plusses is that you can't add a new page from simply swiping, which was a pain in the butt.
