Evernote is ok, but I miss a lot of features compared to Windows OneNote. (adding special characters, equations,...)

I don't know how is iphone notes, but I always use Evernote and it fine for me, I can use it from my mobile, tablet or pc sharing the same notes. Try it!!

Memo works as notes in Galaxy S3 world. I personally use Evernote, and I used to use MS One Note.

I use google's google tasks for notes, they are synced for desktop access as well. To search for notes i just search in the program by holding menu button like most other programs.

[Q] Note Taking on Touchpad?

Now that I'm assured I'm getting a touchpad, the burning question remains; is there some type of note taking app I can use, or am I forced to use the on screen keyboard, or a bluetooth keyboard to type notes during class?
This is exactly what I was wondering!

maybe I'm reading it different but I think the OP is looking for an app that does hand written notes both those apps suggested do not have that option
am looking for the same,very surprised nobody has come up with something, there must be 10/20 ipad apps that do this so I assume there's a market for the app its something I use everyday on my ipad
There is an app called Just Draw in the store which may be what you are looking for.
It hasn't been released yet but I think this is what the OP is looking for: LINK

That's the best/only I've found too. It seems more for making doodles, but it should work.

This sounds neat. I hope it comes out well.
If you setup a chroot enviroment you can use cellwrite for OCR handwriting or xournal for regular note taking and annotating pdfs.

Is there an Office Suite for Tablet that lets you open multiple documents at once?

I am looking for an office suite app for android tablet that lets you open multiple documents at once, with tabs, so that I can switch between them.
I thought Kingsoft Office is supposed to do that because I read a review from PCWorld, and it said just like desktop version, it can switch between open documents with tabs. BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT. I think the review is false. I have been trying to figure out how to open multiple documents with Kingsoft for HOURS, and can't figure out. I have a Galaxy tab 10.1 original with ICS.
So if I'm correct and Kingsoft does not have this feature, do you guys know any office suite app that lets you open multiple docs at once? Doesn't have to be free. I just need a decent one that have this feature. I only need it for viewing docs anyway.
Thanks a lot for your help!

I did that but i cant find a way to open multiple docs and switch between them by tab interface. PCWorld review speifically says that they are impressed by tge feature just like on desktop, but i have no idea what theyre talking about..
The link for the review below
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2555..._document_editing_to_your_mobile_devices.html
And quoting the section im talking about
" I'm particularly impressed by Kingsoft Office's interface. Like the desktop version, it employs tabs for easy switching between multiple open documents. And it just plain looks nice (see below), especially on a tablet, which is where an app like this makes the most sense."
If kingsoft doesnt actually offer this feature, im interested in other office app as well..

[Q] Note taking apps

Is there an alternative to Google Keep that allows you to use the s pen to jot notes. I know there is s note but I wanna try something else.
yes but i forget the name of the app. lol

I think evernote app can do that .
Yeah I use Evernote. And if you use the the latest beta of Evernote 5.0 it has the page camera feature that understands smart tags.

Also, if you use the SPenHelper, it will launch Evernote when you remove the pen. Works quite well.

I really like the Any.DO app. Great app.
Any.DO
evernote was the app i was thinking of...give that a shot
Check out Papyrus https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus&hl=en if you want to make full use of the s-pen for scribbling notes. I prefer it to s-note and use the share function to send it to Google Keep (or Evernote if you prefer).
There is one called GNote. I have tried it and it is pretty good.
I use Papyrus, it's a very nice app and works well with s pen.

[Solved]What's a free note taking application that has a Windows Desktop Client?

Hi All!
As it says in the title, can someone recommend a good note taking application that has a desktop application?
I've read a bit about the topic and Evernote comes to mind. However, it's not free. Thanks in advance.
Bumping this to the first page. :angel:
AFAIK, Evernote is free with additional features added in a premium subscription. If you are looking to something completely free and lightweight, try Google Keep, it provides web access and also Chrome extension.

Yes, Evernote is indeed free up to a certain point but 60MB, even for full text notes, isn't sufficient.
I tried migrating my notes to Keep right now and I think this might actually work. I've read about it in the past but it didn't appeal to me because of the lack of an actual desktop client (I never used Chrome Apps before). Thanks for suggesting it!
Pros:
1. Very clean interface
2. Offline note taking and viewing in both the Chrome Application (More on this later) and the mobile client.
3. All features are free!
4. Sync seems to work flawlessly
Cons:
1.Chrome Application means I have to sign in to Chrome and disable all syncing except for Apps as I don't like syncing my data onto Google.
2. Chrome Application is preventing me from maximizing notes as I edit them. I have wall-of-text type of notes and this really hurts my eyes. I suppose this can be remedied by changing my note taking habits.
3. I can't re-order my notes. They are shown in ascending order by date created?
All in all I think I can make this work. I just need to re-arrange my notes for this specific application. If anyone else has any input or can show me how to relieve myself of the OCD inducing annoyances I've found so far, please chime in
I haven't really used Google keep yet (already a long time user of evernote) but have you looked into one note by Microsoft? It has a free version. Lifehacker.com just did an in depth comparison of evernote and one note. Might be worth looking in to.

Seconding the Microsoft OneNote suggestion. There's a free version for Windows now and AFAIK it also works with their Android app

Yes, I recently saw that article. But this completely shut down the idea for me. Apparently, I'm only able to use this in the paid version:
Create notebooks on your PC. Create notebooks saved to your hard drive (offline) in addition to being saved to your OneDrive. Being able to work with notebooks offline as well as online is great for anyone with a spotty network connection or those who are always on the go.

But, I'm not so sure I understand what it means. Basically, I need to be able to access my notes offline (I don't have a mobile data plan) and once online, be able to sync them again. Since you folks seem to have experience using it, can you tell me how it works?
Honestly, I was able to see the UI of OneNote and it seemed a lot more appealing to me.
I tried out one note briefly awhile ago and it should do what you want. The paragraph you quoted seems to say the same. The notes are saved offline and they sync with your one drive account.

The paragraph I quoted is specifically under the "What do I get in the premium version of this application" section. However, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I'll download it now and see how it functions. Will let you guys know. Thanks for the advice!:good:

Might be a little late here, but still - Google Keep has web access from any browser, try keep.google.com. Cheers.

Accessing it from there has the same exact interface as the Keep Chrome Application. Thanks for the suggestion though
I still wasn't able to find the time to test out the free version of OneNote. Been a bit busy today. I suppose I could take a note that I should test OneNote in Google Keep which I'm currently using
I'll make a short review once I'm done doing just that.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Edit - It seems I haven't found the time to review OneNote. In addition, Keep serves me very well. The only real caveat I have with it is the inability to reorder my notes.
Edit 2- It seems my brain is tired and after a week with no suggestions from other users, I've finally figured out how to move notes around.
One simply needs to click and drag the notes around. < How I didn't figure this one out seems baffling to me. I need to exercise my brain more :'(

OneNote

Microsoft OneNote seems like a good alternative to s note, papyrus, lecture notes, etc. I like the sync functionality and the ui of the app. It works well with handwriting with the s pen. The only thing that I can't find is importing PDFs to write on top of.
Anyone else try it out on your note and have any impressions?

Haven't yet but I'm going to try it out
It does not have import pdf option, at least not on tablet. Handwriting is very good, syncs with computer very quickly. On computer it also has handwriting recognition, you can search your handwritten notes.

Yea if it had import pdf or power point and handwriting search on the tablet itself it would make it perfect. But having those features on the desktop and a pretty seamless sync ability may let me overlook those omissions for now. I'll test it in my classes over the next couple of days.
It seems that one needs to have an internet connection to use it. When I launched the app, it asked me to login to hotmail account.
I have increased my use of One Note. It has issues that Lecture Notes handles well. With pen enabled, the finger still works. Screen control has issues, importing pictures and viewing are issues. Anyway, I use it for its synch functionality.

It only needs internet connection the first time you launch it to set it up with your onedrive account.

I haven't run into too many issues like that, finger doesn't draw for me when the pen is out. However, I do accidentally pull up the keyboard from putting my hand on the screen. I'm not sure how importing pictures work but I thought that functionality was built into the app.

Can you please tell me if the Samsung Note 10.1 that you installed OneNote on was rooted? I tried installing OneNote to my Note 10.1 but it gave a "Not compatible for your system" error. The Android version on my device is 4.1.2 and apparently, the earliest version that OneNote can be installed on is 4.4.2. So, I am wondering if there is not solution but to root or is there another way to update the andriod?
I loved it until I lost all my notes in the middle of a meeting one day. Of course the loss instantly sync'd with the online notes and they were lost their too. I somehow highlighted the whole page and it deleted everything when I hit the next letter. And there's NO undo button. I don't understand why there's no undo So now I use something else.
