Good for

  • Galaxy phone and tablet owners, especially those with an S Pen
  • Recording a lecture or meeting while taking notes
  • Marking up PDFs by hand on a Galaxy tablet

Worth knowing

  • Samsung documents the app for Galaxy phones, tablets and Galaxy Book PCs; no iPhone, Mac or web version is listed.
  • The Windows app is optimized for Galaxy Book models, and Samsung says other Windows computers may have issues running it.
  • Syncing with Microsoft OneNote is not available on devices running One UI 9; notes sync through Samsung Cloud instead.
  • Note Assist needs a supported Galaxy device, a Samsung account and an internet connection, and shared notes are still labeled beta.

Key features

S Pen handwriting
Handwriting can be altered, moved and converted to text, using pens, fountain pens, pencils and highlighters in a range of colors and thicknesses.
Voice recordings synced to notes
A recording made while you type or write is synced to the note, so playback follows along with what you wrote during a lecture or meeting.
PDF import and annotation
PDFs can be imported, written on and annotated. Notes export as PDF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, image or text files.
Folders, page templates and locked notes
Notes are organized into folders and subfolders, with page templates such as grids and lined paper. Individual notes can be locked, which requires a Samsung account.
Shared notes
Up to 10 people, including you, can edit the same note at the same time on Galaxy phones and tablets, invited from contacts or by link. Samsung labels the feature beta.
Note Assist with Galaxy AI
On select Galaxy phones and tablets running One UI 6.1 or later, Note Assist formats notes automatically, summarizes them, corrects spelling and translates them.
