S3, NOTE 10.1 -> NOTE 3, NOTE 10.1 2014 all have incompatible file formats causing non-interchangeable notes between devices OF THE SAME LINE!!!
This diminishes the utility of the ENTIRE line since the even the KEY SIGNATURE FUNCTIONALITY can't be relied upon to work beyond the PRODUCT CYCLE of ONE DEVICE.
Samsung has a lot to learn from Microsoft.
Microsoft inspires confidence of the software and file formats since file compatibility in each release in MAINTAINED. I know my documents will work across each generation of software release.
You just can't use Samsung software suites on serious tasks because Samsung is a joke.
Or the following will befall upon you:

Thanks to the heads up from al_sen on the incompatibility issue, I turned to Samsung support for advice. I have 4 pages of transcript if anyone wants the full horror story, but the synopsis is, Samsung has screwed us Note 10.1 users. The new Note 3 indeed uses a different format for S-notes. Tablet help person understood how wrong that is, it makes the S-notes on the Note 3 useless for sharing information to another device if any further editing is desired. (you can share as jpg etc.) When I asked him about Note 2 compatibility, he transferred me to the phone chat and that was somewhere in the Twilight Zone. He said S-notes were internal documents not meant to be shared between devices. I fibbed and told him I'd been doing it with my Note 1 and 10.1 when I really just found out I could email them, download them on each other and they could be opened and edited. I figured I'd wait for the Note 3 to figure out how to do it more eloquently than that. Anyway, after a long hold, he came back and S-notes from the 3 can be read by Note 2's but not the 10.1's. It wasn't clear whether that was read only, or if they would be editable.
Then he said it would take a samsung account to sync them and then they could be shared. I told him I did have that set up and asked him if that meant the Note 3's S-notes would then be compatible, he said I would have to wait until the Note 3 was released in the U.S. to find out. I told him the Note 3 was being used in 140 countries already, I gave him the model number on the manual that preach2k nicely provided. He said I would have to wait for the U.S. Version to be released because models are different.
Can you even begin to understand how unhappy I am? He apologized for the inconvenience and at that point I gave up. I have canceled the Note 3 and at some point will get a Note 2, after I'm done crying. :'(
(thanks much to al_sen and to preach2k, the information on the post about the S-note formats and having the manual at hand gave me valuable information so I could make sure the tech people knew what I was asking about)

I have a Note 3 and a Note 8 LTE . The Native Snote in the Note 8 is not the same (it is like the one in the Note 2). I just downloaded the S Note apk from Xda that is compatible with the S Note 3. Now I sync them through evernote and I see the exact same thing on both devices. lf I open a new note on one device or make changes to an existing note it syncs perfectly, I can post pics or proof if you are interested.

Yes, cubanonoobie, please elaborate. I have a Note 3 running jelly bean and the s notes get saved with the file extension of .spd, my Note 8 is the wifi only version but is running KitKat and the s notes get saved with a file extension of .snb
I can send (via bluetooth) s notes from the Note 8 to the Note 3 and the Note 3 will convert the .spd to the newer .snb, but of course, now if I edit the s note on the Note 3, it cannot be accepted back by the Note 8.
I really would like to know how you got evernote to intervene.
Also neither of my devices is rooted, and I am really not willing to risk rooting just yet. Thanks for any ideas!

OK sure, I can elaborate. First things first, if you are in North America the galaxy note note 3 was updated to kit Kat a while ago so you might want to check into that also. On your note 8 you have to download the Snote from the next generation devices. I got the apk file from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686
Once you download the compatible snote into your note 8 you will be able to open and modify snotes on either device because the will always be in spd format. Now you can continue transferring them vis Bluetooth but the beauty of Evernote is that the latest version is integrated with Snote. So, if you have Evernote installed on your devices they will automatically show your SNotes too. So if you create an Snote on either device it will synchronize it to all your devices. Makes sense? You do not need root at all. Let me know if this link works for you. I am not very at good at pasting these links.
But if you Google it under "snote apk" you will find the link to xda. Make sure to choose the one coming from S5 thread. Good luck!

You've clearly never tried opening a docx or xlsx file on Office 2003.
Now that was a nightmare. All the idiots who got a new computer which saved as docx as default, meaning the ENTIRE company couldn't open their 80 page document... Oh yes, Mocrosoft does compatibility so very well....
Anyhow, this is why I use good oldfashioned txt format(droidedit, android's equivalent of n++) Anything I need drawn, I do in a sketch apps. Evernote is useless for pc and if I need a txtfile as widget, Colornote. Lets me 'open as' any txt file through file manager to import. Easy peasy. (and has sync.)

No offense to you, but what a bunch of losers. Either the IT team dropped the ball or the users can't follow simple instructions. DOC should have been set to default or the users should have been notified.
I didn't start using DOCX until only very recently. There seems to be little purpose for docx, especially when most of the 3rd party apps used to only read DOC.
At least it's an option to save in Office 99-2003 format, unlike SNOTE. So it's irrelevant point in comparison to the SNOTE issue.
Oh and lets be fair here, Office 2003 was 10 years ago, Note 10.1 2012 was TWO.

Well, the IT dept was comprised of people who googled how to access the registry on Windows, thought an i3 and IntelHD was more than sufficient for advanced very heavy Photoshop use, and that >2GB files could easily be used over a 5Mbps line on a cloud server....
So that probably tells you enough about their qualifications. And since I'm a woman, they refused to hear a word I said. After all, what could anyone without a phallus possibly know about technology... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: (Their words, not mine. They were just a bit more crass about it.)
When you have a note open, you can hit Optionkey --> Share Via. This gives you a menu to save as S Note file, Image file, PFD and TXT.
The same can be done for an entire notebook by hitting the gear icon on the top right of a notebook. This also gives you the option to export the Notebook to Google Drive or as an Image/PDF to your internal memory.
Not ideal, but it's better than nothing.
I recently phoned Samsung UK Customer Support to ask if S-Note was available for Windows XP operating system.
I was told that S-Note was not available for any PCs versions at all, and there were no plans to make it available for PCs.
When I said that this was likely incorrect as I had seen it available for Win 7, they went through to two senior manager who confirmed S-Note was never made for PCs.
They obviously hadn't a clue as later that day I found S-Note on their own website for Windows 7, here: S-Note
I have a laptop running Windows XP and it would be useful to be able to transfer S-Note documents back and forth with the Note 3.
I wonder if anyone knows if S-note is available for Win XP anywhere?

The managers were perfectly correct. The app S-Note is NOT available for Windows.
What you have there is S-Note Viewer. It can only be used as a file manager and viewer, not as a note taking app. It is not S-Note.
And no, Win7 -only apps can't run on XP. Completely different system. The only thing they ever managed to do that with was Halo 2 (for Vista), and it ran through DOS after severe hacking of the game's files. (Still, Halo 2 ran better on XP than it does on 8, which is to say, it doesn't run on 8 at all. Won't even launch.)

The UK Customer support is a mixed bag. Occasionally they are very helpful, and at other times rather useless. I recall when the Note 3 first came out they tried to convince me there was no such feature as region blocking or similar, and all their models would accept all sim cards at all times, even though I had the box and label in front of me stating otherwise.
ShadowLea, unfortunately your well intentioned attempt to be cleverly pedantic on behalf of Samsung support has failed. The program on their website simply states S-Note. Neither the agent nor managers knew they has an S-Note program of any kind on their website, It is irrelevant in illustrating the ignorance of customer services and their managers whether the program is a viewer or a full editing program.
Furthermore it is blindingly obvious that the S-Note Windows 7 program doesn't work on a windows XP machine. I didn't ask if the Win 7 version could run on an XP system. If it did I would be using it now and wouldn't have posted my message.
Now if anyone actually knows if S-Note is available anywhere (of any flavour or colour) for an Windows XP system, please advise. Thanks.

Have you bothered to look at the screenshots? (No, you haven't.)
Look very carefully, and tell me what name it says at the top of the screens...
You asked if it was available. I told you why it wasn't. If you can't figure out that answer C includes answer A & B, that's not my fault. Is it available? No, because the app wasn't made for XP. There, perhaps that makes more sense?
Just a headsup for future reference. Customer support for large companies is ALWAYS outsourced. You weren't speaking to Samsung, you were speaking to a callcenter located quite likely not even in the same city as Samsung's local HQ.
It's why people with questions that can't be answered with 'did you turn it off an on again?' shouldn't waste their time calling the service line. You don't get the company, you get an idiot who barely knows how to press the enter key. (And when they say 'we'll pass it on' or 'we'll discuss it in the next meeting', no, they really won't. They don't even belong to the company, let alone speak to anyone of said company.)
On a last note about the Region Lock. I was telling people about it weeks before the Note 3 even came out. (Not that anyone listened. Told them that it came for the S4, S3 and Note 2 in an update as well, still didn't listen, still happened.) And that info did come directly from Samsung itself. (You may draw your own conclusions as to how I came to know about it.) The Customer support/callcenters denied it because the info was still confidential and internal back then. And thus they weren't informed. (The first month)

Hi guys,
I've searched this forum and haven't found an answer to my question, so I'm gonna post it here. (Hopefully I did the search right and didn't commit the felony of a double post. )
I'm planning on buying a new phone, mainly because my old HTC Charmer (WM 6.1) doesn't support SDHC cards and the maximum of 4GB of the cards I can use with it is just not enough any more.
So far, I've read quite some disappointing details about Windows Phone 7:
- No more "free" apps (by which I mean apps programmed by someone and offered somewhere, now it's the same sh** as with an iPhone or an Android phone)
- No direct USB-sync, which means you have to send your private information to the cloud in order to sync
- No "real" support for SD-Cards (and getting more storage space is the whole da** point here, otherwise I'm quite happy with my Charmer)
So, basically I thought about getting a second hand HTC Touch Pro II running WM 6.5 AND supporting NORMAL SDHC cards (meaning ALL cards which comply with the standard, not just the ones "certified by Microsoft").
But there might be one killer feature which could make me, well, not really forget, but maybe turn a blind eye to WP7's SHAMEFUL flaws: The new Microsoft Office Mobile. Often, I have some Excel spreadsheets which I need for work at different places. This is the only reason I have to take a laptop computer with me, apart from that my phone would be fine.
Office Mobile in WM 6.1 (or 6.5) couldn't display / make use of all the features the Desktop-Version offered (like extremely complicated formulae or spreadsheets and of course macros), and, moreover, after having worked on and saved an Office document on a phone, the features would even have been removed from the file in the conversion process, so the file was useless on the desktop as well.
Thus, I'm asking the following questions (which surprisingly haven't been answered on the net so far, or am I just too stupid to google it right?):
- Is the Office in WM 7 fully functional, meaning you can work on Excel sheets with the most complicated formulae and macros, or, asked more simple, can you do everything you can do with the Desktop version on your phone as well?
- If it doesn't offer everything the desktop versions offers, does it at least keep everything that was there in the original file after you change and save it on your phone? I mean, even if I can't use macros on the Windows Phone, it might still be helpful to open an .xls file on the phone, make a few changes (which don't require macros), save the file on the phone and after putting it back on a desktop computer having the file "unharmed" (meaning except for the small change I made on the phone everything else is as it was)?
Hopefully, I made my point clear enough, if not, I'm happy to answer questions on what it is exactly that I want to know. I think many users here already having a Windows phone will have tried working on Office documents on their phones and I hope those will share their experiences with me.
Many thanks for reading my post and even more thanks for answering.

Firstly,in terms of the functionalities of the excel,I don't think WP7 is suitable for you.
Furthermore,personally I prefer USB drag and drop the documents to my device,maybe you can call me old school.I just find the office useless for me since I don't have sharepoint,I don't want create a dropbox account just to upload my file to cloud and download it to my device again and I don't have a data plan.Therefore,until now, I still didn't use the office app once.
In your situation,I think you need an android phone to handle your job this moment,you can just purchase quick office,docs to go,depends on your personal preference.In addition,the only office app available is just microsoft office,no other choices.furthermore,as you said,you want transfer it back to your desktop unharm,therefore it is good to have drag and drop file transfer function rather than rely on dropbox,upload to the cloud and download on your desktop again.
On the other hand,there is no clear information about the mango updates which add more features to the office.So,I'll would suggest you to go with Android or iOS for this moment.
Thank you for the answer.

Free, in cost, there are plenty. Free as in not first checked by MS, kinda but no. You can developer unlock your device and sideload apps. However, that being said, MS are pretty good, they're only blocking apps which don't meet quality control standards (which I think is a good thing) or, somewhat contentiously, are "adult". They're not playing the same game as Apple.
I'm confused by you saying Android though. You can easily download and install programs (apk) on your device from any source (you just have to choose that option in the settings).
Office in Mango is improving - specifically:
1. Better support for formulae
2. Skydrive sync
So, yes, formulae can be created and manipulated in Excel, though I wouldn't say it's a replacement for the real Excel. It certainly can't run macros.
Skydrive is still "in the cloud" however, you're automatically registered to the free account by the virtue of having a live id. I still believe we should have USB file transfer but at least this is better than nothing.

Hi folks
At the moment to me Notes Mobile does the job but only just.
I can tell you that Notesmobile is being developed. I am in possession of Beta 1.1.9 at the moment.
Please don't ask for a copy of it as it is one of the conditions of me having it.
It's a pretty raw beta , so no pen thickness or colour changing or anything.
Major things that I've noted:
1. There is finally a PEN ONLY palm rejection setting that works a treat.
2. The OCR both automatic and freehand conversion seems to be more accurate and quicker
3. You can import a picture , move it and resize it
4. New lasoo system that works a bit better and a few interface tweaks.
5. On the first page you can set up views, so you can further catagorise your notebooks ( So a Personal view with multiple notebooks, a Work related view with multiple notebooks ).
Things it doesn't fix address that I know are on some peoples wishlists:
1. More export options ( still only text and img )
2. Landscape mode
Don't forget though it is a Beta !!
So a heads up that it is being developed and it is certainly a step ahead of the original release.
They expect to release at CES Las Vegas in January, so it shouldn't be far from coming to us though whether it will be a free or paid upgrade I'm not sure but I've asked my contact though it might not be his area within the business.
Thanks a lot. Is there any way for custom backgrounds, or is that not present yet? Also, when you say release in January, they're going to present the new software of Notesmobile at CES? Never really seen new software at CES but yeah, that still sounds awesome. But yeah, I have to ask, are you involved somewhat with the development or do you just have contacts with one of the persons that's working there?
As I say it's a very raw beta.
1. No custom background, only blank, lined, graph and yellow lined a per the previous version.
2. Yes they intend to launch @ CES January 10th 2012 Las Vegas
3. Nope not involved with the Vision Objects at all. I contacted the guys a while ago around Myscript Stylus and as a consequence got chatting with them. They offered me the beta to get my feedback
Nice to hear that it's still being developed. The whole lack of cummunication felt like they've abandoned this app which really has a lot of potential but is right now quite useless for me.
Let's hope they'll add some more export options until January and also a possibility to back everything up.
This application has the raw goods and with a few [meaningful] tweaks and additional features I could become a daily user...
Thanks for the information on the update. I emailed them about wanting a pen-only mode and they simply responded with a cryptic "thanks for your interest we are constantly working to improve our software" reply that contained no valuable information. I am so glad to hear that they are in fact working on it and have implemented a pen-only mode. Hopefully MyScript Stylus will also get pen-only mode in a future update.
With CES just around the corner, I'll be see what the update is on the update .....
I'll let you all know
Any update to this?
TS
yeah
It was on the market
you couldn't download it
it was taken down
It is now on the market again
you still can't download it
it has not been taken down
sign in and check My Apps...Updates Available. you should be able to down load it from there. If not, you will need to install the new lenovo market then check My Apps...Updates Available. Its posted on the lenovo forum
Got it and the difference is like night and day.! Awesome!

Quill is still better tho. still overly complicated writing notes in it.
It doesn't have OCR, but I've been hunting for a few days, and I'm most impressed with FreeNote. It doesn't seem to pick up on my hand on the screen, ever. It uses tags, classifications/categories for organization. It's definitely not a candied Apple app, so it takes some getting used to (it's intuitive enough but not artificially prettied, nothing hides its complexity, tongue is misspelled, and classifications=categories, more or less). It does some truly amazing stuff. I expect it to sell (out) in about March or April, but I'm just some schmuck user, so....
I'm happy to see that Phatware is in the Android game now. I used WritePad on WinMo3-6, but it looks by the reviews like they're having a terrible time. They'll weather it and raise the bar, I'm sure, and when I'm fed up with XT9, I'll likely buy WritePad if it gets even a few good reviews. They deserve a few snacks for PhatPad. I *still* use it on my HTC Advantage sometimes (animated gifs I draw, easy export, and the 5" screen is perfect for quick notes & doodling).
The XT9 handwriting input is pretty amazing (my handwriting sucks, really). I can't figure out why the Notes Mobile App is so bad at recognizing my same awful handwriting. Very eager to see what happens. The inline OCR is what I've been watching for for, like, 10 years.
There is a note app that I have been using called Lecture Notes... works a lot better than Notes mobile. Developed directly on the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet. It is still really new but he updates the thing about three times a week it seems like.
when using it you can disable the touch interface all together so the palm isn't an issue. There is a trial version on the market.
Still the best app for me
For business I'm using a Lenovo Windows 'tablet' with MS Notes. Honestly, that spoilled me. Comming now to Android seems to step back years in history and development. Never the less, I arranged myself with Notes Mobile and Evernotes. The only big issue I have with notes mobile is the unavailable option to export whole notebooks as pdf or pictures.
Why I think Notes mobile is the best compromise:
- The Lasso (u write something and u realise u need more space, the lasso helps! All the other programs require the eraser and to do all the work again...)
- handwriting recognition, that can be easily combined with sketches and quick note...
Only issue
- pdf export
A work around for no PDF export
I installed Cloud Print on my Android device
I installed EStrongs File Explorer (or you could use the native Dropbox client or Dropsync) on my Android device
I set up a Dropbox account with installation on my PC
I installed Bullzip on my Windows PC
I set Bullzip to automatically save "prints" to a Dropbox folder
Anything you can share via Cloud Print (most things) you can print to a PDF.
It's a traffic-heavy way to do it, so it's ungreen, and could be pricey if you're using a paid & limited data plan.
(I discovered this while testing. If anyone can help me get my Epson RX595 to work with Cloud Print app for Android, obviously Bullzip is fine, as are test pages via Cloud Print from Chrome on my pc, I'd be ever so grateful for a PM).
Could someone do me a huge favor and upload the latest version of the Notes Mobile app? I can't install the latest version of your app store to download it and it doesn't show up in the old version. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Feeling a little silly right now, but how do I get the updated version of Notesmobile?
V1.0.0 came with my TPT.
I created an account in Lenovo app shop, but didn't see anything in the "My apps" section. Tried searching for it in the app shop, but it's not showing up either.
Thanks in advance
I have been looking at getting a 10.1 or samsung ativ windows 8 for work purposes. I have clients who have to sign multiple page pdf files and I know that you can use ez pdf to annotate. I saw this video of the ativ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fepPN7WcU8&feature=youtube_gdata_player. Most of my client are older individuals and the reader for windows 8 is just what I am looking for. I like the fact that you dont have to click a pencil icon to write and it doesnt read palm prints, it only recognizes the pen. I also like the fact you can just flick to the next page that would need signed. I am a huge android fan, have the note 2, love it and would rather stick to android os. Does the note 10.1 have an option that works as easy?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
In fact i don't see a problem selecting the pencil button in EZ as long as it is one of various powerful annotating tools like highlighting, shapes, etc. My information this kind of use is typically what the Galaxy Note has been developed for! You can also find & check various annotating apps in the android market for your use. Ex. MANTANO Reader, SignNow, etc. You can also import your PDFs to LectuteNotes which is a very powerful application for note taking.
One question please, does this Pen/Stylus comes with the Ativ on board or is it a separate piece of accessories? If so, i think the Note 10.1 wins as the use of the SPen will have deeper integration to more tablet uses.
Good Luck!

I have been looking at getting a 10.1 or samsung ativ windows 8 for work purposes. I have clients who have to sign multiple page pdf files and I know that you can use ez pdf to annotate. I saw this video of the ativ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fepPN7WcU8&feature=youtube_gdata_player. Most of my client are older individuals and the reader for windows 8 is just what I am looking for. I like the fact that you dont have to click a pencil icon to write and it doesnt read palm prints, it only recognizes the pen. I also like the fact you can just flick to the next page that would need signed. I am a huge android fan, have the note 2, love it and would rather stick to android os. Does the note 10.1 have an option that works as easy?

In fact i don't see a problem selecting the pencil button in EZ as long as it is one of various powerful annotating tools like highlighting, shapes, etc. My information this kind of use is typically what the Galaxy Note has been developed for!

S pen is part of this talker also. It's competitor for android SGN10.1 of course
Thanks for the replys. I am really familiar with ez pdf as I use it on my note 2 and it works fantastic. The thing I liked about the video with reader on the ativ was that I didn't have to click on the pen. Like I said most of my clients are seniors and they usually sign multiple documents. Is there any other editing apps that could be used and only registered the pen and handwriting recognition instead of fingers or palms.

I've purchased a Note 10.1 recently but haven't actually opened the box. I first need to know whether the Note is capable of opening 1000 page PDFs with Repligo/iAnnotate/EzPDF etc and annotating them without lag, or is this far too much to ask from the Note? Would an Atom tablet be more capable of this? I wish to use the tablet for reading while on public transport and simply highlighting and writing quick notes in the PDF, and then when I get home, reading through the edited document and making my actual notes in OneNote. I've watched videos of other people annotating documents on other tablets, but I'd like to be certain with the tablet and whether it can handle such large files.
ALSO: Is it possible to open the OneNote web (not mobile) application via an android browser (accessed via SkyDrive). I merely want to view my notes through the web app, but not edit them.
Thanks.

Congrats on the new purchase.
Essentially all android tablets are the same from a sofware stand point.
Yes you can easily edit pdf's that are huge that come into many 1000 pages. I use ezpdf now as it seem to offer what i need. But as you said you have to test out yourself and see what suits you the best.
You cannot open onenote in android browser. All you can do is see the files. I tried the default, chrome and dolphin browsers and none of them seem to open one note files.
It might just be easier to use the android app

there is an app called mobilenoter in the market. Worth a shot for taking notes.
The editing options are very limited but may be good enough for basic note taking.
Two things ...
1st. For your Purpose Mantano Reader Is Best !!! Am using it since a long period of time.
2nd. OneNote is available in Playstore.

Hello!
I've used Google Keep for a long time, until I changed to Iphone and changed to notes, from IOS.
Now I've imported all my notes to Google Keep again (the new ones).
Now with S22 Ultra I don't know if I can maintain GK or just jump to Samsung Notes or other.
My question is besides all about the S Pen, which I assume these S Pen notes are saved in Samsung Notes.
What do you guys use? Which one do you use?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks
M$ One note for me, is the one and only that is:
- truly multiplatform: Mac, windows, ios, android, web. All the docs are centralized and accessible on all platforms
- great support for: s-pen, apple pencil, surface slim pen
Can I configure S Pen to save its notes to M$ OneNote???? How?
This i am willing to learn as well as my S22 Ultra will be with me in following weeks hopefully. This was also my concern if i can configure S pen to save notes on GK
I could't find a way to make MS One Note the default app for use with S-Pen, in fact, it seems it's not meant to be done (see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...th-s-pen/3647f7d9-79bd-4241-adb2-8cfc221d8f9a), but there is a way to maintain in sync your Samsung Notes app with One Note, to access your notes in all the Microsoft environment...see https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00088543/
Samsung Notes Windows:
Get Samsung Notes from the Microsoft Store
"Samsung Notes allows you to use the enhanced S Pen to write or draw, and save files to the Cloud. You can use the S Pen to create notes that contain notes, memos, images, voices or music on Samsung Notes. Try creating a new note. You can create a new note by tapping + at the bottom right of...
apps.microsoft.com
If it isn't available for install on Microsoft Store than:
Open Command Prompt and write:
Code:
winget install "Samsung Notes"
or
Open PowerShell and write:
Code:
winget install "Samsung Notes" --source msstore
Y for accept and that all
Also it's possible to download Samsung Notes zip file from here:
SamsungNotesMicrosoftStore.zip | by xda-developers.com for Utilities
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
Unzip downloaded file, install Samsung notes APPX file, and after installation just update on latest version in Microsoft Store!

I use OneNote, but that is because I'm more invested in the Microsoft ecosystem. In college my school used Microsoft Office and OneNote was part of it.
I can sync my notes across all of my devices (S22 Ultra, Tab S7, Surface Pro 6, and Dell Inspiron desktop PC).
Samsung Notes allows you to export to OneNote, but it's kinda awkward and you cache edit them after you export them.
Evernote is also pretty good, but I think you have to pay for it.
