I was trying to find one for school that allows me to type AND draw all on the same note (like for Math class where I need to type definitions and draw graphs) The only one that is close is freenote but it always says it runs out of memory and loses my notes. I can't find one that does both keyboard and drawings in one. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!
Evernote? They just integrated Skitch in the last update.

Just checked this out and that should work, thanks for the info. Just wish the drawings would be with the note like freenote.
Look into Classic Notes + App Box. It does a little of everything, including typed notes, drawing, etc...

handwrite will also do both.

I've been using Evernote for years and really like it. It's like a blank canvas for you to create your own method of organization. It took me a why to create a folder structure that worked for the various things I need to keep track of.
Springpad is another good one out there. It has some prebuilt organization structures that will help you get started much quicker than with evernote such as a blank notes, tasks (with check boxes) and the ability to add items via search or scanning a barcode.

Has anyone tried pensupremacy..I haven't but curious how it is?
I spent a few weeks trying to figure out a good set up for class notes..
Check out Freenote. IDK why nobody else suggests it, but it lets you do everything. you can record sound and input them, take pictures, take video, and put all these things right in the same note.
You can write with a stylus, and after each word it automatically shrinks it to whatever font size you want and in line, so that you can write big and clear.
You can draw free hand.
And you can type right in the same lines as all the above.
Its by far the best note taking app available that I have tried; and i have tried literally every one of them listed above.
The other app i would suggest is Repligo Reader. If your classes are anything like my classes, they give tons of notes on PDF. Well this app is a pdf editor, you can draw on them, and input text boxes to type in, and then save it all within the PDF.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the input, but I mentioned that in the OP. I get the out of memory issue in Freenote all the time!
usually i just use the default office app that comes with the Transformer to take notes... typed notes that is... not handwritten.
I am kind of frustrated by the lack of a school-oritented notes program that features both typing and drawings.
After over a month of searching, I found freenote to be the only program sporting both features, and unfortunately it is incredibly buggy, has a terrible UI, and just looks ugly.
My work around has been to use ezPDF Reader, which by nature is a PDF annotation tool. I created a series of 40-page blank pdfs and open them up in the app. From there I can add text boxes, hand drawings and pre-set drawings...with them saved as PDFs. It has worked so far but ultimately it is really ridiculous that no one is capitalizing on this. The Applestore sports dozens of applications that do this and I have no clue why all we have available is Freenote. Missed opportunity right there.

Im suprised you have so many issues with freenote, I use it daily and have never had an issue
I agree there is tons of room for improvement though, both in free notes interface, and the need for other options in general.
when do you typically get the out of memory issue?
is it adding multiple pics, and documents to your worksheet?
or just continuing on the same page forever?
or just random occurances?
I typically do one page per section, so they remain fairly short, and rarely add more than one or two pics to a page. I just hand draw stuff instead of taking pictures.
Off curiosity, whats your favorite stylus?
I love Colornote on app market

SuperNote
I think SuperNote is the best note taking app..
is very similar to FreeNote in the functionality (text, handwritten, drawing, insert picture, ...) but has a beautiful tablet interface..
+1 for AntiPaper Notes HD that someone has mentioned in this thread that is a good alternative in case you don't like SuperNote..
Writepad Stylus is nice, it has palm detection so you don't have to worry about awkwardly floating your palm over the screen as you write. And typing support too!

Agreed!!

I completely agree. SuperNote is awesome. It does everything the OP requested and is free.
SuperNote is great, but it lacks RTL support. Writepad doesn't care much what language and direction you're writing.

I've been trying to find a great notepad but I haven't found a really great app.
I'll give you a list of the notepad's I've tried and there features:
aNotepad:
Simple small notepad (no special features)
OI notepad:
Save txt to SD
auto create links
AK notepad:
pin to homescreen
sync with snaptic.com
remider
XM notepad:
Looks really great
Note everything:
Should be able to import notes from outlook but the process it too complicated for it to be really possible to keep syncing them
Ok if you use any other notepad (+features) or if I forgot a feature or something just let me know.
I've been trying to find a note taking app also. One of the few things I liked from WM was the built-in Notes functionality, where starting it provided a list of your existing notes, or let you create new ones. Making new notes was quick and simple, you didn't have to select edit before editing your existing notes, you didn't have to save your notes since they automatically saved when you closed them, etc etc. I used it in the car to jot down the names and artists for songs on the radio I liked, so ease of use was important so I preferably didn't crash.
I've been looking for a damn decent Wiki program for Android and I have yet to find one.. I've tried Wikilin, Wikimind Lite, and some other random ones I've removed.. All are painful to edit with, or don't really give a good experience in regards to being a wiki (easily link other pages, back references, etc)..
but for just flat-out notes, Catch is nice in its Snaptic sync..
Personally, I'm a big fan of a program called mNote
Here is a link to it on AppBrain.
It uses your SimpleNote account (simplenoteapp.com), which is free, and automagically syncs all your notes across whatever platforms you have software installed on. It's kind of like dropbox for simple notes.
None of these.
I use Text Edit, which is literally a .txt editor.
Sync with Dropbox (among other files) for instant viewing and editing on multiple PCs and my phone.

Except that the Dropbox Android app doesn't automatically update, right? Last I messed with it, it was basically just a GUI front end to the website with some perks, not a full time sync like the desktop, or even a manual sync.. Maybe it's changed.
I use Catch Notes (used to be called 3banana notes), same makers of AK Notepad. They might not sound familiar because they recently changed names (used to be snaptic). I like it because it syncs with their site, which can be accessed on a PC. So longer notes can be easily typed on your computer and simply synced later, and vice versa.
As a bonus, you can add pics and other media to notes if you wish.
you need a other option.
I use Springpad. LOVEIT
I use [Notes] by Yuli for quick notes (time/place tracking) via it's note list's time stamp
and [Note Me] by Paramvir Bali for long term notes/ project tracking and such. (tags)(send to calendar).
Both are instant edit+auto save, no cloud, local storage only (which I like).
Both have dark/black theme which goes well with the android UI imo.

I browse to the directory with the files that were changed on my phone and after a few seconds it auto-uploads the files. You have to "sit" in the folder for a second or two before it will auto-upload the files in that folder.
Infinitely better than connecting a USB cable and mounting the drive.
Catch Notes for me. Great program. Makes the inbuilt one on the iphone I used to have look very, very silly indeed.
Catch for me ..
In Android I've tried ColourNote, Note Everything, Astrid Tasks and Catch. So far for me, Catch wins with ease of use, a few simple extra features and syncing. It doesn't record audio, but I didn't much use that feature in notes anyway.
I was trying to find one which would open Windows Notepad's obscure .pwi files with no success, as I use notes almost daily. I use Win7 on PC, so syncing/converting with active sync is a non-option. To transfer them to Catch is a little clumsy, but you only have to do it once. On my HD2 under WM6.5, I open a note, select all, copy, then go to catch.com in the browser and paste it into a new note .. repeat. Once booted into Anroid, syncing gets your notes onto your phone and is accessible/editable on any PC, or thru WM using the browser.
One suprise, I have a really long text file for my homebrew beer log which was in Word. It's always taken ages to open/edit on my phone, but was instantly editable in catch!

Hey guys, I've been using this app for quite a bit, and they recently added some Note functions like pressure sensitivity. Hopefully he adds more to it, but it's been my favourite note taking app so far using the English mode. Hopefully this helps someone here who does a lot of note taking and does not like looking at disorganized scribblings.

Best Note
Freenote is the best note taking app hands down!
It resembles dan bricklin' note taker app for iphone and ipad! but it's better, though you have to mess with alot of settings to finetune it to your writing skills.
i personally prefer freehand mode, as the text doesn't disappear suddenly and if i miss something from previous word i can add without going backwords with the cursor. also, you can enter small drawings with it, not with the ease of paint mode or ideogram mode, but still...
thanks alot for the post, i wouldn't have find it without!

No matter what pen style or radius choose, I can't notice the pressure sensitive effect. I have a Wacom draw pad linked onto my desktop, I can find the significant difference between the results on desktop and Note.
If I remembered it correctly, seems only ICS has native support of pressure sensitive devices.

I have only noticed the pressure sensitive effect in Zen Brush app (from the Samsung App Store).
You are correct that ICS has native api support, but the Note has custom-developed (by Samsung) support.
This app's interface isn't streamlined or intuitive.

The Note screen and S-pen is pressure sensitive....it is mentioned in all the reviews. It has over 100 levels of pressure sensitivity You can see it in the S-Memo app, and it is especially obvious when you use the pencil within the app.

may be for you ( and me too) ...However I have seen many people make real good use of it.
Today I give you, Fabrik Reader 2.0! With completely redesigned UI and a render engine that can handle CSS. Read more here.
You might ask, we already got at least 10 different book readers in the android world, why another one? Well, here is thing, among all those 10 different book readers, I just can't find one that really suits me, so I decided to build my own, and here we are
Now, what's so different about Fabrik Reader? Let me ask you a question first, do you really want that much custom preferences in a book reader? Or do you want a book reader that just works beautifully out of the box? Fabrik Reader is definitely not the most feature rich book reader, and what Fabrik Reader gives you, is a really premium, yet really simple user experience. With Fabrik Reader, you get:
★ Complete synchronization of the entire reading experience with your Dropbox. That means, all your books, as well as all your reading progress. So you can use as many devices to read as you want, and everything will just keep in sync automatically.
★ A beautiful interface that will make your reading experience really premium, and easy on your eye.
★ Find covers for your book automatically which make your book looks even better.
★ Share your reading progress(with a beautiful book cover).
★ Some more general stuff in an ebook reader, like adjust text size, screen brightness, night model, etc.
★ Support txt, epub, mobi format (and more will come in the future).
Again, if you want a beautiful book reader that works out of the box, and keeps everything in sync, I think Fabrik Reader is just the way to go. So why not give it a shot? It's free any way!
Want to know more? Here you go: Fabrik Reader on Play Store, Blog, Twitter
[NOTICE] Hi guys, sorry I'm not able to reply every single one of your posts like before. It's just that there are too many of them now and I want to spend as much time as I have to developing Fabrik Reader and make it better. I've posted on the blog a feature request summary. Thank you for your support.

Thank you very much for posing a picture for me! I'm sorry it does not support DRM or OPDS right now, but I'll definitely add them in future release. Now it's only a beta version, I wanted to get some ideas about what people think about this whole design, so it's a little bit pre-mature. More futures will definitely keep coming!
So far works great! Thank you!

Like the UI of the reader but don't know why it Force closes each time when i try to open an epub file of 12 mb.
New update on the Play Store. Quick update, just how we like it
Looks pretty good, loving the holo-design and animations. The dropbox-sync works great.
Couple of requests:
-I do not particularly like the striped day-theme, could you please have a white background option?
-Please add landscape support, I kinda like that on my tablet (especially the way Aldiko create 2 columns)
-Add support for table of contents
Gonna try this as my main ebook-reader for a while, been using Aldiko so far, but I really like the dropbox integration here

Sorry about that. I don't think my algorithm can handle an epub file that size just right now(of course in future release this will change). It would be really slow... but it should not be crashing. Is it possible to send me the epub file you are trying to open? Or may be show me the crush log? I did not receive any crush log from the android developer console yet.

I've been searching around the forum and cannot seem to find anything pertinent. I'm looking for a SIMPLE app to allow me to just open a jpg or png file, write something on it with the stylus, and then save it. I don't need to filter anything, layer anything, or anything complicated. It would be nice if it could change the color and thickness of the line, but that's all I need.
Does anybody know of anything like this? Tried all the app stores and can't find anything like this under drawing or photo editing.
Thanks

Try free app PicsArt - Photo Studio https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.picsart.studio
Just select DRAW shown in photo and then select your photo, and you can write on the photo. You can just use your handwriting, you can change line thickness and color and the app is about15mb in size.
You have to check out the Text option. You can type a sentence around an object with like 32 fonts to chose from, Very cool.

I actually downloaded another app also called Photo Studio -- there's a bunch of them -- and then found it was the wrong one. Finally found the Picsart one, and it's not bad. Much easier than anything else I've found so far. So far can't find any way to change the thickness or color of the drawing line, but it is easier than all the other ones I've tried.
Seems like a nice simple app to just draw on jpg files would be useful, but everybody wants to write complex apps it seems.
Thanks!

Select the squiggly line above eye dropper on right side for size and the square box on bottom right under the eye dropper to pick color.
Hey, hey!
I did find that squiggly line before but thoughT it was only for effects -- didn't notice that it also applied to regular lines. I would have never found that square box at the bottom right.
Yep -- this will work. THANKS!

I've been using PicsArt - Photo Studio quite a bit for marking up photos last night and this morning, and after exploring many of the options have found it EXCELLENT. Although it has many features that I would never use, for my purposes it has done everything I've asked. Using the stylus is just like writing on an actual photo, but the return function lets you delete mark-ups all the way back to the original photo. The shapes feature is neat, too, because it allows inserting lines, arrows, and boxes in which you can write inside. I would gladly pay for this app, but it's free.
THANKS!
There's also this:
Photo Editor v 2.2.14 ( http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching )

I had heard of that app -- but I cannot locate it in Google or on the Samsung apps site!

Were you referring to my post about Photo Editor?
Edit: ok it is missing from the play store. But I did find it on the Samsung store:

Oops, yes I was replying to your post about Photo Editor but forgot to quote the post.
Just searched the Samsung Apps site you linked to, but for the life of me I can't see it there. There is a "Photo Editor" app listed, but it's a paid app and not a Samsung app. Also, the site seems to be specific for Samsung phones, not tablets.
Thanks

Odd. I haven't tried looking for it from my tablet, just my phone.
If you want it, let me know and I'll post it for you (it's a free app).

If you want it said:
Thanks, but it's probably not optimized for tablets and the other app is working so well that I doubt that it could be better.

I've been searching around the forum and cannot seem to find anything pertinent. I'm looking for a SIMPLE app to allow me to just open a jpg or png file, write something on it with the stylus, and then save it. I don't need to filter anything, layer anything, or anything complicated. It would be nice if it could change the color and thickness of the line, but that's all I need.
Does anybody know of anything like this? Tried all the app stores and can't find anything like this under drawing or photo editing.
Thanks

I had looked at S-Note but didn't realize that images could be imported (there's no import command adjacent to the export command). After poking around I found how that could be done, and it does work. But after saving the image ends up embedded within the S-Note page rather than being saved in its original format.
The PicsArt Photo Editor works much better.
Thanks.

I did not actually try and export my test notes, just saved them. I'll try it when I get back home. I'm back on the road and didn't bring my tablet with me as my laptop is also a tablet of sorts.
Thanks!

Always I have approached applications with the "what is the goal" altitude. Defining done, the search is more efficiently accomplished.

I agree, there are so many to choose from, it would be easy to get lost.
Here are my recommended apps. I'd post links but as a new user I'm not allowed to. Oh well.
Infinite Painter
This is the best painting/drawing app I've used so far. The ability to rotate the canvas on-the-fly while you're drawing is especially useful. The paint-blending is surprisingly realistic. It looks like painting with an actual brush. The interaction with the s-pen is perfect.
QuickPic
It's essentially a superior replacement for the default picture gallery app. A problem I had with android's photo gallery was that it included all the folders on my overfull sd-card, which made looking for pictures extremely frustrating. QuickPic lets you exclude folders (or even your entire sd-card). Also it's free and ADFREE.
MX Player
A versatile video player. It can display subtitles.
AnyMemo
If you're looking for a flash-card app, you can't go wrong here.
I'll update my list as needed.

I uss as well the Quick Pic app. Love that one, so much better than stock.
I tried MX Player, seemed descent enough, but I prefer Real Player.

Infinite Painter is the only other drawing app I have kept other than CloverPaint. I have tried many. sketchbook pro, layerpaint, art flow, photoshop touch, fresco paint and probably others i cant recall.
I find infinite painter is the closest to replicating real media, but CloverPaint has more functionality than any other android art programme and is starting to approach desktop aplications type levels with the (admitidly expensive) extension add on

CloverPaint, huh. I haven't even heard of that one. I'll check it out. Thanks.
It's not the most intuitive. But once you have figured it out it makes sense.

I wasn't too big on QuickPic, but I really like F-Stop. Never been a fan of the stock gallery. Actually my favorite replacement gallery was installed when I installed a Lenovo Camera apk on my Note 3, called SEEit gallery, but never bothered to test it on my Note 8.

I wish I could draw, then I would use one of these. However, I seem to have no drawing skills.

I'm in the same boat. Never had much artistic talent. Still doesn't prevent me from playing around with these fancy drawing apps regardless.
Here's my new wallpaper I managed to make in Infinite Painter in about five minutes.
Looks pretty good on my purrty screen!
I'm thinking an Impressionist style painting would be a less challenging project for someone who is less "artistically endowed". I'll be testing out my theory soon.
