[…] your experience. So, I recommend you check out our sample planners and freebie library. And also, try out free Samsung notes templates to get enough experience to decide if it is for you or […]
One of my fears in purchasing a Samsung tab instead of the iPad pro is the note-taking capability. I’ve been using Goodnotes but seeing your blog makes me realize how Samsung notes can also provide the same features, and so much more! And I am so surprised that an aesthetic digital planner also exists in Samsung Notes!! This definitely made my decision so much easier. Thank you for sharing what you know!!!
Hello Angel! Your comment is so kind of yours; I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you for giving your time to it! It is wonderful to hear my work helps you out because I know there are no such resources for Samsung Notes. Your support is my biggest motivation for me; thank you!
Wishing you all the bests!
Very helpful. Thanks! I’ve had my Samsung Tablet (love it) for a few months and didn’t know some of these features in Samsung Notes.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m so happy you found it helpful; it means a lot to me! 💐
Can I please know the name of the font that you use on your samsung tablet. Also, why’s my samsung botes doesn’t have the page sorter? T^T
You need to set Page setting first. Dont use vertikal scroll.
Hello,
The font I used to use is called “Byourstory,” but it’s no longer available. I’m now using “AaLoafAround,” which is similar.
Regarding your other question, this problem can sometimes occur due to page settings. To fix it, try the following steps:
Go to Samsung Notes Settings.
Select “Page Style and Template” in the “General” section.
Select “Individual Pages.”
Re-import your file.
Open your file in Samsung Notes.
Tap on the Reading Mode icon.
I hope this helps!
