I've used this for years and years and loved it, but the new update is completely nuclear. It kicks you out of your notes whenever you switch back to the tab after a while, and you cant even open it right away. Im assuming its because they added internet connection, maybe to scalp scalp data. As someone who writes notes daily, this os extremely annoying, especially as my main note is extremely extremely long. Paste feature is now also completely broken. Its time for me to uninstall :/

I use to love using this app, and the organizational features that it once offered; such as inserting bullet points, numbering lists, being able to increase and decrease the bullet or number, and being able to bold, underline, and italicize words. However, unfortunately, after completing an update, those options were no longer made available, and I've had to resort to using other note taking apps in order to achieve the original note taking features that I once had here.

Samsung Notes is easily one of the most reliable productivity apps available. Having used it for a long time, it has never given me a single problem. It saves every note automatically and securely, so you never have to worry about losing your work. ​Adjusting page margins, line spacing & overall formatting is effortless, keeping everything clean and readable. Plus, exporting notes directly into PDF formats is quick and completely hassle-free. It does exactly what it's supposed to do every time.
