First of all, tomorrow I'm getting my N8010 so, hello people!
Now, I'm an engineering student and I want to use my new toy for my classes, so I need an app which does this:
S-Pen compatible, of course (why would I want a note if not?)
As many pencils/erasers and so on for handwritting.
Geometrical figures for drawing (very basic, of course) line, circle/ellipse, rectangle and if possible, other regular polygons.
*NOW THE IMPORTANT PART* I get many PDFs with wording, I need to crop the text/images from the pdf and paste it in a blank page so I can write over that, it is the most important feature I need, I know many apps achieve the other requirements.
Last, if I could export all this as printable A4 format, I'd be in love with it.
I don't mind if it's free (don't count on it) or have to pay. Any suggestions?
I am by NO MEANS an expert using it... but.... Lecture Notes does all of that. And a whole lot more!!!
I bought this tablet mostly for that use as well, and here's my thoughts:
SNote is great, or at least was great for almost everything I needed. It recognize almost any geometrical shape that you draw and "tight em' up" for you as well as equations. This means that making good looking flowcharts, graphs and equations with everything from triple integrals to DEs very easy. I absolutely love the ability to look it up at WolframAlpha to get accurate graphs etc and paste them into your notes. I'm sure you have tested this already, at least that was the first thing I did once my tablet arrived.
However, since the last upgrade to JellyBean I and many with me feels that SNote isn't working good enough to be useful because of all the bugs in it (I've started a thread about this in the apps section here). Therefore, I will be using LectureNotes instead when school starts next week. By far the best note taking app imo, and the fact that the actual developer have he's own thread where he helps you on a daily basis and you can give inputs about what functionalities you would like to have is of course a huge plus! The more I use LectureNotes, the more I like it actually. And even though SNote doesn't work properly I've discovered you can use those functions, take a screenshot and insert into LectureNotes. This of course applies to every application like a PDF reader as well if you don't like to have the full PDF inserted (LectureNotes does this to). The easiest way to do this is by pushing the pens button, make a "loop" around what you want to insert and then press the LectureNotes symbol that shows below.
At the moment SNote does have support for circles/ovals, lines and rectangles but the developer is working on a way to make your own figures like arrows and stuff. You insert those symbols like you do in MS Paint. You can type text as well if needed, there is however not any way of fast typing equations but to handwrite them. Speaking of which, I feel the handwriting to be much more accurate at LectureNotes for some reason, yet another plus.
The other way in those classes you get perfect PDFs and the professor hardly writes anything on the blackboard I'll be using ezPDF to annotate directly in the PDF. I've not yet tried this to much though so time will tell how well it works.
And by the way, both apps are like 3 bucks each at play and LectureNotes have a trial version with all features but limited page numbers etc, so you can try it before buying it.
Hope this helps! And no I ain't got dyslexia, I'm just a swede

Thank you both so much, will test it asap (delivering services are getting slow as hell in Spain)
And no worries Axel, I find myself strugling everyday to write in English as good as I can
Papyrus is magical, vector based so everything is scalable. Not to mention if you root your device and revert to a stock android build (like CM10) and remove the default S-Pen features you can use the side button as an eraser/selection tool.
I'm studying engineering as well and this has worked perfectly for me
For the pdf writing, check out ezpdf. I just got it and imported my books to it. It works wonders. You have no limits to what you can do. Although I do not know if you can add geometrical figures.

Personally I can't really see any advantages compared to other PDF readers and at least it have one huge limit, the ability to tell if it's the pen or finger you're using. I would love to have an app that allows me to use the stylus as an " always on highlighter" and use my fingers to switch page but as far as I can tell there's no way to do that either on ez och Acrobat.
I'll check out papyrus, I've heard so much good about it but since I have LectureNotes I can't really see how it could be any better. But that's the wrong approach when testing new apps, and I'll give it a try.

in most options in ezPdf yyou can mark with spen or one finger and scrol or zoom with two fingers. i think it is handy enough. it dous not work in draw or shape drawing modes though.

I would love to be able to do this, but haven't figured out what options to set to make this work. What do you need to do in order to get the pen and two finger scroll/zoom working in ezPDF? It either just draws when I use a two fingers (going off one of the two fingers) or doesn't do anything with two fingers.
Thanks!

Beta, the other papyrus is as far as I can tell for shopping lists etc rather than serious note-taking.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
Yep, I had a look at both tonight
So far, these are my impressions
Holo interface
Better palm rejection (+)
Uses for fingers (scrolling, deleting etc) (+)
fast enabling/disabling zoom (+)
LectureNotes over Papyrus
Can't try the complements before buying them
With all complements, Papyrus is slightly more expensive than LN (-)
It doesn't display the page contents when scrolling (Long load times)(+++)
Lack of a dark theme (-)
Doesn't detect pen at the end of page (+)
Longer periods between releases (two last are from December 10th and November 8th)
Only one pencil (??)(+++)
Can't record while taking notes (still didn't need this, but probably will cost money if ever added)
So far I think Lecture Notes is better, so I'll stick with it, but I don't like its UI at all and would like to see some improvements before buying any of them.... Anyway with such an impressive developing speed, we'll surely enjoy it sooner or later.
Of course, prove me wrong if I am.
Also, I've been thinking about moving to CM10.1 whenever they release a stable version (I tried a nightly and my note became a single core 2010 tab) but I really like multitasking (Solid Explorer rocks in a little window). Also, when copying problems statements it's so useful having the crop-whit-pen-button thing, but this way I also have gestures inaccesible in LN and Papyrus. Also really enjoy the clipboard management when pasting..... so I don't know what to do, anyone with the same doubts and any solution?

So I was thinking of buying this capacitive stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Capacit...aybook/dp/B003ULE6GU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
But I was wondering if there are any decent note taking apps designed for use with a pen. Because if there aren't, it's kind of pointless, I don't think there's really anything else I would use the stylus for, except maybe drawing.
Thanks!
I'm not sure of a good app, but I do own this stylus. Once I get my Transformer tomorrow, I will let you know how well it works.
Not sure to what extent you plan to use notes, but I use "Note Everything Pro" and absolutely love it!

Handwritten notes
If you're talking about handwritten notes, some people from the xoom forum suggested handrite, check it out and tell me if it works with the transformer. There is a free version with ads. Also many users suggest get rid of the auto insert feature through the settings for the app and it becomes much more usable.
Amazon 1-click Order is dangerously easy. Just ordered it. I'll play around with the note taking apps and let you know what I find. Tablet's coming tomorrow, stylus should arrive on Tuesday.
I'm using flext9 it can be used as swipe which works faster than the one installed on the transformer and it also has a writing to text feature that's pretty cool.I take my notes on evernote which also has a share button to email/ share it to a computer. You can also create an account and sync your documents up to access anywhere.
I can't believe this, from the time since the beginning of Android to now, NO ONE has created a combinable Text & Handwriting note program.
Where is the app that lets you draw and type within the same note? This was possible in Windows Mobile, 10 years ago!!!
All the programs available seem to at best be able create drawing notes separately from typing note, WTF?

Hey dummy, read the post above yours.
I can confirm this. FlexT9 works great on the Transformer. It does an AWESOME-fast Swype style. Then it also has a handwriting-recognition mode that allows you to write within any app.
Screw note-taking apps, when you have a keyboard like this you don't need them.
The post above mine previous (#6) mentions two things:
FlexT9: an input method, not a program that supports scribble drawing & text notes
EverNote: an notes program, without any scribble drawing support
Care to enlighten me with your wisdom again?
+1 for flexT9, it is now my keyboard of choice too, much quicker than handwriting or typing in my opinion.
There is another note taking app called Tabnotes, currently under development. It looks very promising and could potentially be the killer notepad app. Works really well with handwriting with a stylus.
A trial is available on the market for you to try out, the program has been developed with tablets in mind.
At present you cannot use keypad entry, I have emailed the developer of the app for this function, we'll see what happens.
i am using writepad with Evernote and it works flawlessly. I was nervous because the writepad application cost $10. But if you go to the developers site you can test it free for24 hours.

Do you know if this will sync with multiple devices?
Edit - I found out it currently does not sync with multiple devices.
I can't believe ASUS threw this thing in here. Compete with the Lennovo thinkpad perhaps? This app is incredible. I don't know of any other notepad app out there that rivals this. It does everything I need: shares with evernote, dictation, ocr, insert images. The fact it comes for free is incredible. It has a great simple paint app to boot. May need to uninstall sketchbook for that reason although the painting in Supernote is a bit limited.
The fact that the Transformer comes with this just shows how superior it is to any Android tablet out there. Once the TF2 comes out it will be king. And I don't even have to mention the dock!
What are your guys thoughts?
Gotta try that
Wow thanks for posting this. I guess it can with the new update.it looks great. I wish there was a way to create a check list. I didn't play with it long but will be taking a longer look.

You can refer to this app.

The concept may be the same .
Wow this is app is great. Now I am not claiming to be a pro, but I have tried everyway to handwrite on this tablet and this app is the best. Very smooth all the most needed features in one app. Yes I am sure you can improve it somehow as everyone has a different need but for FREE it is for ME.
Fyi...for those who are having trouble with using the rubber tip stylus's I highly recommend trying a coat or two of rainx ....that is if you don't have a screen protector ...
supernote is the best note taking app and I have tried them all. it could still use some improvements such as zoom though. It works great with the adonit jot stylus.
wow, I love this program !
Seems like they perfected the interface as compared to FreeNote.
All they need now is to have some export to some PC format feature.
But how does the functionality compare to FreeNote?
Its nice, but I can't decide if I like it better than Antipaper Notes though.

If you use the insert annotation function, write your maths formula, you can then pinch to zoom to make it larger or smaller by using the select tool.
This app will be almost perfect if they can include palm rejection like in Writepad stylus, especially in landscape mode. Also export to pdf would be ideal.
I would also like to see either user selectable pen thicknesses or more choice added.
Truly is a simple and great app already.

grab the free app----Scan to PDF FREE from the mkt
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scan.to.pdf.trial&feature=search_result
Share your note to it from supernote and walla- saved as a PDF. then you can open in Repligo PDF and add more text etc.....
Works for me. There are other PDF conversion apps out there- not sure how they work- but if anyone else gets one----REPORT BACK...
EDIT - another good one that works Images to PDF lite- https://market.android.com/details?...did=br.com.tabletsoft.converttopdflite&rdot=1
You have to share your supernote pages to the gallery than go into this app and add pages from the gallery than convert to PDF-
The good thing about this one is you can string up to 5 images/pages on the free version to one PDF doc. But you cant shre the pages to it right from the supernotes program.
Any video of this thing in action for those of us waiting for Revolution to update?

Love it, BUT the upload feature doesn't work. Most of the market note apps are that way. Very frustrating cause I need to upload my notes to Dropbox. Option is there but message is that it won't work yet. Frustrating.
EDIT: .jpg files will upload but .docx files will not. Simply stated, text files will not upload. Thanks
Where do you see the option for OCR?
This would make it the complete package for me.

I cant see OCR support natively either in SuperNote,
but if you share your handwritten note to Evernote,
Evernote's servers will perform OCR on the note.
This makes words in the note searchable from within
evernote at least.
Supernote must be by the same people as FreeNote, its so similar.
Awesome app.
I am trying to find a good note taking app to go along with my GT-P6210, and I came across the Supernote app on the Asus Transformer. I have heard some great things about it, but I can't find it in the app market. Does anyone know if its compatible with the Tab 7 plus?
Also, if you know of any good note taking apps for a college environment, feel free to suggest. I am looking to be able to make bullets and sub bullets (something evernote cant do) and I would like to be able to write or draw directly into my notes with a stylus.
Evernote w/ skitch allows me to write/draw, but the downfall is that it groups all my drawings seperate from my notes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Supernote is specific to that tablet but there is an extracted apk though it's not optimized for our tab. Search the forums for it.
You can try quill.

I looked up quill and I may be wrong, but it looks like you can only write. But I found a Supernote apk so ill try that out and let you guys know how it is.
It's working, but not fit to screen... deleted.
Supernote is such a good app...........but it doesn't fit the screen. The sidebar gets cut off so you can't use certain features. It would be amazing if it was optimized for our size tablets
I like Supernote so much I've adapted to using it on the GTP with parts of the app being off screen. I'm hoping that if Asus ever releases the Memo 7" tablet to market there will be a version of Supernote for it. They've teased it at the 2011 & 2012 CES.
alternative to supernote
The app that I use more is Catch Notes, cause it lets me syncro with my phone, but it is not on the same league.
Give GNotes a try. I just recently discover it. It has bullets, you can type, handwrite, attach a picture, a video or some sound.
But actually, I was so busy trying to find a good app, that I didn't realize how good the stock application included in the tablet is. I'm taking about the one that can be found in the bottom bar. You can attach pictures, you can synchronize (haven't try yet), you can write anyplace in the sheet, handwrite (better than GNotes) and it floats on top of the other windows, allowing you to take notes while you are reading an article, for example.

I do like my 10.1 but still very disappointed with apps. I probably want One Note with inking and reminders but nothing comes close to a perfect note taking app yet.
Am I alone -
Written notes and typed.
I do Not need handwriting recognition.
Sync with desktop.
Quick entry with pen, keyboard or camera when you want a quick reminder.
Rich text formatting on typed text with bullets and para format.
Alarms or reminders on notes.
Ability to draw on images without messinv with switching layers.
Folder structure.
Choice of paper formats and ruling.
Looks and feels like a modern app.
S Note was not bad until it was messed up in the last version, and thd Evernote sync is useless for desktop use. Lecturenotes promisinv but way too complex for handling text and formatting sections of text easily - just not intuitive.
Am I the only one that gets excited with a new App only to find myself after 10 minutes back to using a combination of paper notepads and Evernote.

I was just thinking about the same.
It really seems that developers are not used yet to the potential of the S Pen or that they don't use much the apps they create...
Anyway there's an app (Awesome Note) that has many (but not all) of the features listed in the OP.
See here
Sv: Note Taking on 10.1
My vote goes to LectureNotes, the only decent note taking application out there if you ask me. It don't match all your criteria, but I would really give it a try if I were you!
Written notes and typed.
Check!
I do Not need handwriting recognition.
Great, cause it hasn't.
Sync with desktop.
Check! All your notes are saved as individual bitmap images, and with foldersync or a similar app you can sync it to Dropbox and by that your desktop. The typed text is either in the image or as a separate text file.
Quick entry with pen, keyboard or camera when you want a quick reminder.
Well, it's not ideal for this but you can take an image and select share to LectureNotes after which it's automatically imported to the app. It supports multiwindow, so you can easily access it that way.
Rich text formatting on typed text with bullets and para format.
Well, it depends on how you define rich but it has a few.
Alarms or reminders on notes.
Not that I know unfortunately.. But maybe acadoid can implement it if you ask him in the LectureNotes thread here
Ability to draw on images without messinv with switching layers.
Check! You can get it to automatically import images in another layer than the one you're writing in.
Folder structure.
Check!
Choice of paper formats and ruling.
Check! Actually, since it's supporting JavaScript customization it cannot get any better since you quite easily can make your own.
Looks and feels like a modern app.
Hmm, well not really. But it's really functioning, and to me that's the most important.
But I totally agree, there's no note taking app that is perfect or even close to and that really is a shame on such a great tablet. However, LectureNotes is to me the best compromise.

Not strictly a drawing app but I like "LectureNotes" a lot, you can configure the button on the pen to be an eraser toggle which is awesome. The UI needs some improvement but as far as functions goes this is way better than s note IMO

Papayrus is another good one, though I think I prefer LectureNotes for most uses. LectureNotes is amazingly customizable and the developer seems very responsive (there's a forum here on XDA that he seems pretty active on).

Side question (hopefully not hijacking this thread!): I can't figure out how to make use of the S-Pen button in LectureNotes (or anything else for that matter)--any time I hold down the S-Pen button and then draw (to erase, select, etc.) I just trigger the snapshot utility built into the OS. Can these functions not coexist (ie, do I need to just disable that snapshot utility to be able to use the S-Pen button in other apps like LectureNotes)?

For LectureNotes you only need to press the pen button once while hovering to select the alternate tool (eraser, cutter, ...) and it will change to that tool. After one use it will change back to the previous tool you had.
More apps need to make use of that pen button, there's so much potential.

Great. Thanks! This is what I was hoping for. Not necesarily drawing apps, but other apps that people may not have considered for their notes.
I read good things about MyScript Notes Mobile on another site but haven't had the time to try it out yet.
Also 6$ seems quite hefty for an app without a limited trial or something like that...
Also have a look at S-Pen Voice and Snap Pad, both available as freemium apps.

I think LectureNotes could work for you. I believe you can use it in either Portrait or Landscape (I always use Portrait, personally). You might be able to sync the files between devices using Dropsync or FolderSync. I use Dropsync just to backup the files to my Dropbox account. I've not tried to sync between devices. You'd probably need to be careful to only open a note on another device after it has synced, or you'd likely end up with collisions.
There's a thread here on XDA where the author ( @acadoid ) is very active.
It is a great app--I highly recommend it!

You might be able to sync the files between devices using Dropsync or FolderSync. I use Dropsync just to backup the files to my Dropbox account. I've not tried to sync between devices. You'd probably need to be careful to only open a note on another device after it has synced, or you'd likely end up with collisions.
There's a thread here on XDA where the author ( @acadoid ) is very active.
It is a great app--I highly recommend it!

thanks for the tip, i purchased lecture notes yesterday and it was exactly what i was looking for. i also contacted the developer with a question or two and he was quick to respond and helpful.
For stuff that didn't come standard issue the only app I really tend to use with the S-Pen is Skitch, I find it lightweight and perfect for simple markups that won't need S-Note's more productivity oriented GUI.
Not a fan of Quill, it's too clunky in the UI (unlike S-Note) and I'm too lazy to try Papyrus again even though they both support the S-Pen.

You're welcome! I'm glad it is working out well for you!
Snap Pad is pretty darn useful. :3
I was wondering about this myself as I am trying to decide if I should get the note 8 or not. This info is helpful. thanks.
Lecture Notes is rocking my world. Leaves S-Notes in the dust.
Without GMD S-Pen Control my S-Pen would be less than half useful. And, of course, Lecture Notes.
For syncing App Data (for example Lecture Notes) between devices I think DataSync+ is a better solution than Dropsync or FolderSync, both are more useful for data which is not hard linked with apps.
With DataSync+ I even sync Notes from AwesomeNotes between Note 8.0 and N7000.

For me Write is a winner over Papyrus. Definite worth trying...

I really like the Moleskine notebook app.... you can download it (apparently) only through Samsung Apps http://apps.samsung.com/mars/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=000000521992&srchClickURL=|@sn=SAPS|@qh=-2013087002|@qid=SAPS.SRCH|@q=moleskine|@tot=1|@idx=0|@doc=G00010725174|@title=nil
