The individual pages are highly customizable and easy to sort when needed. I do wish there was an easily accessible option to change the font style to italics, but other than that I have no true complaints. I definitely recommend using this app for any event planning, journaling, or even independent writing (short stories, poems, etc..). -LizB

I ignored the app for years, then a friend showed me his Samsung Galaxy Note. He wrote on the screen, then showed me the result in Samsung Notes. I started using the app right after and haven't looked back. So, when I had the chance, I bought a Galaxy Note. The ability to jot down a note or draw on your locked screen and then see it in an app later has been one of the best features of my phone. I won't buy any other brand. Plus, the app can do so much more. Explore it!

i love this app and adding "custom" covers is nice. i hope for future organisation "shelves" or something tho, or maybe folders displayed as shelves, i could tap the spine of "books"? just some visual changes. i wanted to know if an option can be added to change the note preview size at some point, i didnt need the larger size lol
