Hello all!
I have been lurking around these forums for a while but finally decided to post. So, I just got my transformer yesterday, but now I need a good note taking app. I was wondering if any of you guys know of an app that allows you to take notes with a tree hierarchy like in MS OneNote? In addition, a note taking app that also has notebook support like in MS OneNote also? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Evernote
Evernote doesn't really have options to bold, italicize, or underline right? Or at least in the android app. It also doesn't have a tree hierarchy when taking notes also no option for bullet points. This is most important to me because I need to organize my notes that I take in class.
You could use the stock polaris office...

Evernote is NOT what he asked for. Thats a super simple note collection sort of app. Have you seen a proper ipad esque note taking app? Evernote is pre-school compared to the level of note taking apps they have on the ipad. Pre-school.
Everyone always replies with evernote. So frustrating.
i think you would be best going with a word processing app like Polaris, quick office or docs to go.
there the best for taking notes
Hmmmm, it seems like my options are limited for now. I suppose the notebook feature isnt too important. Is there any note taking apps that allow you to bold, add bullet points and have a tree hierarchy? Or is that asking too much?

Well I guess we can use your option"criticism" where do we find that on the market.
I tried out MaplePaint last night and it seems to be okay. It saves files in SVG format so they can later be converted into png/jpeg/etc. I would assume that SVG is also easier to convert to plain text with an OCR than other formats since the lines are cleaner.

I'm curious now! As a LONG TIME evernote user (6000+ notes), I haven't seen anything that compares. My wife uses the ipad, but she would be interested in a good note taking app. What do you recommend?
As for taking notes in Android, I find Colornotes to be fast and efficient for things like jotting down the details of a phone call or for creating a "sticky note" on your home screen. I also like the fact that notes remain open when task switching, so you can easily copy and paste bits from other apps without having to constantly open and save a note.

Why not Google Documents? They just recently put out a Docs app, and it appears to run fine in Gingerbread so far.
I like it because I can write notes on the PC which quickly sync to my phone and my tablet. It's easy to write a note and refer to it later. One example is shopping lists. I whip one out on the PC at home and whip out the DX in the store to check it.
Springpad?

+1 for springpad
Use it for most things, shopping list, Todo list, managing small projects, diary, looking up near by restaurants and has a cool widget.
And it syncronises with your springpad account so I got access to stuff on the phone aswell
Also, re Springpad I think they have just announced a Honeycomb version.
Stupid phatware still hasn't come up with their phatpad. I've used it on the Windows Mobile platform and it is superb.
It can do free writing too as well as text and shapes.

Android's note taking apps all are underwhelmingly basic compared to the Windows Mobile selection.
Android stinks on note taking. I used to use handnotes by choung . No app even comes close to that one. I would pay 100 if someone could make a note app like that. I realllllly like being able to write freehand notes

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?
Other than the apps that come as part of samsungs note package what else do you use that takes advantage of the spen. I intend on getting a few different drawing apps, but was wondering if there was anything that I hadnt considered that really shines when using it with the spen.
Thanks
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!

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.

I am looking at the Note 10.1 for purchase and I am trying to get information about handwriting recognition using the S Pen and saving what has been written to a .txt document or RTF doc or doc file. Searching for this answer on this forum and others has not helped - at least I have not found the answer. What I want to be sure that I can do is handwrite a document - for example an article for publication - and save the handwriting recognition text version and be able to use it then on a PC in software like Word or Notepad. Can this be done using the included Polaris Office app? What I have seen so far about the S Notes app is that it only saves to pdf or jpg files. Is that true?
Then somewhere I saw that files cannot be attached to emails sent from the Note 10.1 - is this true? If I installed an app like K9 Email on the Note 10.1 which has file attachment capabilities on other Android devices will I be able to attach the text files from the Note 10.1 that I have written using handwriting recognition (if txt files are possible using handwriting recognition)?
I am not interested (at least now) in annotating documents - I need to be able to create new text documents with the S Pen and be able to save and edit them as text both on the Note and then on a PC.
Thanks!
Hi 1776,
You can write straight into Polaris Office (or any other office app, google docs etc) using the handwriting recognition keyboard option and save into whatever format those apps support.
I've become an S Pen junkie over the last month for taking notes and docs for my work. A Note 10.1 a month ago, and a Note 2 phone (for easy noting on the move) this week.
I find the S Pen option ( Language and input | Samsung Keyboard Settings | Handwriting | Recognition type | Complete recognition) best for this (as opposed to 'Stroke recognition' option)
Good luck with it!
You can also save the files to a cloud service and retrieve them anywhere using this...
For that matter, you can even move your PCs My Documents folder to Dropbox, and use Dropsync on your tablet to do a completely automatic 2-way sync so that you can edit the files from the PC or at tablet at any time :thumbup:

Or switch to google docs and scratch the office suite altogether. Or use sNote and sync to Evernote.
Lots of options available.

Thanks to all! I knew I would get a fast response from this forum to answer my question. I now know from you that I can use the SPen to write into Polaris or an office suite or Google Docs and get my articles ready. There is a good price right now at Costco and I am going to take advantage of it.
Thanks again!
Sorry to bring this back up again - I went to Best Buy today and wanted to try the S Pen with Polaris Office. I opened Polaris Office and looked for the gear symbol to start handwriting recognition at the bottom of the keyboard next to the microphone symbol for voice recognition. It was not there. Only the microphone was there. I went into S Pen settings on the Note 10.1 and did not see much to set. A salesman came over and asked him how to get this display model to let me use the S Pen in Polaris Office and he said it cannot do that. He insisted the pen only works in S Note. I told him differently, explained what I expected to find and all of the more knowledgeable people than him (I did not say that part) that are on this forum say it works with Polaris and other apps. He tried and found nothing to get it to work.
So now I have a new question - does this now work with an update that perhaps their display did not have? He also tried it on the Note 8 that was on diplay and said it did not work.
You all say it works and I am sure it does. I would just like to see it do it before I plunk down almost 500 bucks.
What is needed to do to make it work? And if there was an update and the displays were not updated - would it then not work?
TIA!!!
Long press on the microphone button on the keyboard gives you a selection box. One of the choices switches the keyboard to pen entry.

FYI I found the default pen settings to be less than optimal for my writing style. Keep this in mind while trying it out. You'll likely customize it to your liking once you own it.

Thanks once again. I went to a different Best Buy today and did as was described here and long pressed the mike key - and there was the button to start handwriting recognition. I worked fairly well. Thank you to bsaman who warned me about having to customize the settings to get it to write smoothly. In the store, words were split, wrong letters were put in, but I can see that with some adjustment it will work just fine and I test saved a doc handwritten in Polaris and saw in the file manager that it was saved as a .doc file which is what I need it to do.
One other question - every time my hand leaned on the glass when writing with the pen in the input box that was across the lower half of the screen, it brought up a new screen scrolling up from the bottom. I assume that this can be turned off?
The only thing I can think of is the Multi-window option bar that pops up when you touch the carret in the navbar. Don't know about disabling it though.

It all depends on user specific needs,
for me the most useful combo is Dropbox + Folder sync + EzPdf - all important files I might need go to Dropbox folder on my PC, then after sync I never have to carry printouts with me, and ezpdf allows me to annotate the files if necessary

Great topic.
Just bought one myself and in same situation. Going to use it for work also. I have found that a combination of Polaris, ezPDF, Officesuite Pro w/font addon, cloud service, & Google Docs works for most things. Evernote w/Skitch is OK but last I knew you have to pay to sync with other accounts so it is limited. Not sure what you do for a living but there are also some cool space design/measuring/dimension calculating apps. I also have business and fraction calculators installed. Of course Lecture Notes.
Probably leaving some out but will post if I think of something.

I stay organised around Evernote and GApps (Browser, Calendar, Drive, GMaiI, Google Docs, Tasks) following The Secret Weapon approach for organizing with Evernote. As for specific apps & Note-centric things....
Evernote with the widget on my home screen.
Note Buddy to launch Evernote when I pull the s-pen out and shutoff the display when I re-dock it.
Pure Calendar Agenda widget for a clean transparent calendar view on my home screen.

This is a great thread! I would add to it but basically all of the apps I frequent have already been identified. I would like to use Evernote more but it does not utilize the S Pen.
Can you tell me more about the secret weapon approach to Evernote?
I use Lecture Notes for work. Replaced the many project notebooks I used to have to juggle.
Genius Scan is useful when you need to scan something into your notebook.
Splashtop if you need remote connection to your laptop.
Cloud print to print.
Applock for time or location based locking of applications, so you can lock up the tablet at work, but not have to deal with the hassle of unlocking at home.
Droid48 for those of us who used to have an HP48 calculator.
ESFile explorer for easy access, copy and paste between files on tablet and on network, cloud based files, etc
Mobizen to mirror tablet to computer screen and use keyboard

Take a look at Notes Mobile also. Unfortunately, if you use the developer setting to do all your 2d rendering on the GPU it has a display bug - no fix and they're aware of it, and the same company has a scientific notation app which works correctly.
The up side is it's the best handwriting recognition I've seen on this device. It does substantially better than the onboard stuff does.
Until they fix the bug, I'm sorry to have purchased it but they're getting dinged enough in the Play store for it that I'm optimistic they'll eventually address the issue.

Just Google it, there's an own website for it. Basically it gives you a structure of tags to organize all's your tasks, especially your emails, too, which are kind of a task. Imo it's only useful if you use outlook in Windows to export mails to evernote. If u use Gmail for example the complete structure can also be achieved using labels, which is just another word for tag..

I should have previously let you know that I have already been though all of the TSW videos and I'm setting up Evernote. I live and die by Outlook and I appreciate you pointing me in this direction.

I took some of your recommendations from this thread and wrote an article on it. My business partner just bought a galaxy Note 10.1 and he wanted a list of apps for our restaurant that could help.
Thank you all for the recommendations, I got them from you. :beer:
We are recruiting writer for anyone interested. Pm me for details.
