Ever since I've switched to Android I've always wondered if there was an app that could offer the same writing experience the iPad apps had. Papyrus was one of them, however with this screen resolution I don't enjoy it anymore.
And then I spotted this gem.
INKredible has by far the best note taking experience this tablet can offer.
The devs have just begun porting their ios app (notes plus) to Android, therefore there're not a lot of features baked into the app yet.
The app has matured pretty well over the past 1.5 years, as expected
So be sure to show your support too the devs, as it may help in speeding up this process
Download the app, make some in app purchases and make this app even greater :good:
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viettran.INKredible&hl=nl
I'd like to know your note taking experience with this app and how it compares to other note taking apps.
If you know an equally good(or better) one be sure to tell us aswell.
Comparable app(s):
-FiiNote (mentioned by crypta: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61466857&postcount=14)
turn-offs
slow rendering
the only pen worthwhile is the pencil pen (under paint mode) but it's not resizeable)
-S Note
Key features that have been successfully added since I posted this thread:
-Touch with finger to erase (s-pen only mode)
-Enable shape detection
-Page zoom lock (helps with accidental zooms while writing)
-PDF import support (can't be imported in an exiting notebook; in app purchase)
-Folder management
-Black paper background
-Misc. performance improvements
-(last edited 25-03-2016)
Wish list:
-Optimize the scrolling/zooming animations under Samsung ROMs, they are really jagged and jarring.
-An intuitive way to compare pages of the same/different notebook(s). Maybe a split-screen within the app.
-The ability to import pdf's within an existing notebook.
-Writing near the left and right edges triggers the app's gestures, make it ignore these gestures when using the s-pen.
-The 'Touch with finger to erase (s-pen only mode)' feature requires a tap to activate, this feels inefficient and unnecessary.

I just tried it. Its got very nice hand writing rendering, better than Papyrus and LectureNotes and on par with S-Notes. Very clean intetface. S-pen button works too (you hear that Papyrus!!!) But I dont like how you can't disable finger writing all together like Papyrus. No text input or means to cut and paste from within your notes AFAIK.
I havent been able to find any kind import functionality either which pretty much ruins it for me.
Its a great start though. I hope they continue to improve it.

Features wise its very minimalistic (I think they're trying to perfect the writing xp first), however that won't be the case for long.
I didn't realise that the spen button had a function within inkcredible , did you disable the default button action via the GMD s-pen app?
I don't really agree with it being an par with snotes, its more like the other way around.
Snotes has a decent note taking experience, if you compare it with a blackboard writing style then its without opactity variances but with thickness variances (also there are no thickness drops if you set the stroke thickness to 10 or 11). Plus ,in my opninion, INKredible feels and appears more natural.
The moment we get some more features I'll be uninstalling snotes and papyrus

I just disabled air commands. If I press the stylus button while hovering, it switches back and fours between eraser and pen. Very nice feature. I don't understand why Papyrus devs are so adament about Samsung being at fault for their lack of s-pen button support. Both Lecturenotes and now Inkredible support it now, even without GMD!

With inkredible its also possible to draw a circle around a portion of text and drag and drop it to somewhere else or do some other action too the selected portion .

Yes, it has something to do with the samsung spen SDK not being present in cm12...though I could be wrong.
Checkout https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.sdk.spen30 .
It may have been updated for android 5.0. But the last time I checked it was for kitkat only.
Spen SDK is not required to recognise spent button presses. This functionality is built into android since android 4.0.

I have note 3 (official lollipop) and note 2014 (kitkat). the spen button switch is not working on inkredible on the note 3.
It is possible because of lollipop.
Dear friends!
I'm really appreciate for your supporting and help our small app's recognized by many more potential users. We've been working hard to make the app more useful and add features to make it works as your main note-taker app, Just hope that day coming soon.
Anyway new version is just waiting the translations and will land on the Play store in a few days.
What’s new in 1.6
- Support "Insert Image" feature
- Apply new S Pen SDK -> solve issue with Lollipop on Samsung device
- Introduce “App Settings”
- Improve selection gesture
- Many bugs fixed & improvements
- Allow rotating, grouping, lock/unlock aspect ratio, ... objects
- Allow zoom out to minimum 90%
Thank you again for your supporting
Looked at it briefly and sorry to say this, but e.g. FIINotes is far superior - at least from the productive point of View.

There's no denying it from that point of view, I've tried using it today and I can safely say that the writing experience is a dissapointment.
The mode I tried for hadwriting is called paintmode. The second brush was the most promising, however I couldn't set the thickness of it. And I don't like that standard faded thickness.
Also INKredible pens have more smoothening applied to them.
For me its pointless arguing about features until the writing experience of both apps is at an acceptable level; I didn't switch over from paper only to have a bad writing experience on a glass surface.
Compared to paper, digital writing is 'infinitely' more productive(featured). So why pick an app over another app just because it has more features (if the latter has a better writing experience).
infinite+10(features) is still infinite

Well I enjoy wrting on glass more then on paper nowadays, I found myself writing in a more neater way because I always correct sloppy writing due to my OCD.
So now I write more neater because of that. Also I now enjoy the low friction of glass more then the friction of paper...strangely
If I'm making smooth handwriting motions, I don't want to see jankey/jittery graphics on my glass, it just hurts my brain. That hurting trows all the features out of the window.

My script makes some dope spen apps as well.
They have a calculator, spen keypad and notepad which all are dope as anything.
I have to say that Google handwriting keypad is by far the best ever made it even out matches Samsung and my script keypads.

Hey guys, as you may heard, an SDK is released for developers to add to their applications which allows user to do multi-touch things on a device which is equipped with a resistive touch screen, just like our Topazes. Well, it makes us able to do pinch and zoom, rotate to exit and such things. WHAT WE NEED is great application developers to add this SDK to applications just like Manila. Your co-work will be pleased. Here's the link to the thread:
[SDK] Dual-Touch SDK for Resistive Screens V1.0 Beta + Rotation Alpha + Demo App
Regards.
NO ONE??!
Oh, you mean no one is interested??! I got disappointed! It would be a great work to enable multi touch in manila 2.5 for resistive screens...

you cant pinch and zoom a resistive screen, it just thinks you're single touching in between your fingers, try it. This isn't about waiting for a dev kit, it's just beyond the capacity (lol capacitive) of a resistive screen.
edit - I know what SDK you're talking about, and I don't see it being accurate, sorry.
Likewise, I cannot imagine it being possible. It is simply physically incapable of that and may use algorithm instead which may give inaccurate reading.

Then watch this:
Watch SDK Demo Application Video
It's simple: It simulates multi touch. When you point with finger #1 and then after point finger #2, device holds the first point and drags a line from that point to where finger #2 is. And then after releasing finger #2 it returns to finger #1's point. You can see it through notes or manila slider. That's how this SDK came out. It simulates this lining thing and makes device think you are doing multi touch. That's how you can Pinch and Zoom or Rotate to Exit like capacitive screen. But I agree. Since device can't recognize tow different points at the same time (like you said it's technically impossible for a resistive screen) we can't hope for a complete multi touch functioning. But at least we can do those two things I mentioned above.
i find multi-touch useless...its just a 'fancier' way to do things but really its easier the conventional way on ur/my phone. ei: the zoom bar on my htc pure.
i saw the lock video demo but its just faster and easier to lock ur phone the way everyone usually does it rather than having to put both of ur fingers onto the screen and rotating it. i guess this would really depend on wat kind of program the mutli-touch craze would really be of a benefit to. as for the programs thats been developed with multi-touch so far, i dont see much of a use for it. but thanks for making it possible for others to develop more programs with multi-touch.

i tried that long time ago and i found that it still "WORKS" if i slide my finger from 1 corner to the opposite corner. Like the above, i dun think it's practical to use this so called MULTITOUCH kit on a NOT-MULTITOUCH-SUPPORTING resistive screen.
if ppl are so fond of multitouch, they should buy a hd2 instead of trying to implement such a not-too-possible feature on the td2

That is true... But at least we can satisfy our selves that we are multi touching!! It's better than nothing!
Tell HTC to give ATT an HD2 and then you might have a point.
Question - why can't this software be put into the OS so that it just works with all apps doing it like keyboardcontrol is doing - intercept the mouse taps and then based on the application translate the multi-touches into exactly what that application needs - even repeated keystrokes etc - manila could be programmed by page or just one set for the whole app - whatever can work. That would be the killer way to get this into play asap.

Not sure why they are so negative about it, it has been done and proven even as a beta, and from the sdk that was released it seems very likely. I'm not a super cool programmer but I was working on a Mass Effect Codex and I'll try working the multitouch into it if possible, no guarantees tho

It's all great and well to claim that there is no jitter etc on a "standard" resistive touchscreen, but that's a tech demo, it proves nothing for us having these kinds of results, EVEN if that is their goal.
also, watch the video you posted, the guy says it CANNOT be adapted to current touchscreens, it's an additional specification that they implement by working with major screen makers

Thank you for your co-working. I'm a programmer too (C++ language) and I can help.
although multitouch is a great feature , but guys , we have a cool zoombar , that using it is a lot easier than using the screen.
I would love to help with development, but my education of software developer starts in september. I would like to help testing the application on my MDA Compact V.

Although I do appreciate the functionality already in HTC Notes, I have been spoiled by Microsoft OneNote for many years.
Below are some of the features available in OneNote that I would like to see in HTC Notes version 2.0.
• Ability to expand the space between handwritten notes to add more handwritten notes.
• Ability to create color-coded tabs to notebooks. (sub notebooks)
• Ability to select handwritten notes to cut, copy, and paste.
• OCR for searching directly within HTC Notes. (aside from EverNote)
• The ability to add standard shapes to notes (circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, arrows, and stars)
• Different note page templates (to do list, meeting agenda, calendar and legal pad)
• Ability to snip pictures from other applications and paste them into notes.
• Ability to add active hyperlinks
• Put the pen options in a smaller horizontal toolbar. (The semi-circle takes up a lot of screen real estate.)
Non-OneNote features
Ability to send note to DropBox.
Ability to integrate with OneNote.
What additional features would you like to see in HTC Notes?
Must say... great Idea.
I agree that the Notes app is lacking quite a few features.
Some of ur features seem to be common sense on a notes app.
kind of disapointed they are not included... however I still think that HTC has the best Note taking app implementation on Android as of yet.
I would like it if they made it so the lower button on the pen made the pen act like a finger

I also thought that I must be perfect when you can switch between pen and finger mode for the pen self. Then we can use the pen in all(!) applications like a mouse for marks and so forth...
They should let you choose if you want a note that only accepts pen input. I often find that I trigger the keyboard when I don't want it and you could avoid this if it just never came up - kind of like when you're annotating a page in the Reader.
I'm also using OneNote, and used EverNote before. Actually I prefer OneNote over EverNote.
My wishlist:
Ability to disable keyboard
Rich text editing on the device (I can create on the desktop and view from the device but I can't make text bold, italic, underlined or change font size on the device).
Ability to make images bigger or smaller, or crop them inside Notes app.
Zoom in and zoom out features
Ability to retain formatting when copied text from Android browser.
I also share these wishes:
• Ability to select handwritten notes to cut, copy, and paste.
• OCR for searching directly within HTC Notes. (aside from EverNote)
• The ability to add standard shapes to notes (circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, arrows, and stars)
• Different note page templates (to do list, meeting agenda, calendar and legal pad)

You can send images and text from Android browser to HTC Notes by using "Share" feature. For example, long press on an image, tap "Share" and tap "Notes". The problem is, the text loses all the formatting, making tables etc. unreadable.
I am glad so many other folks would like to see HTC Notes developed further.
The "snip" function that I was referring to was the ability to circle an image or text and copy and paste it to notes.
Another awesome app would be a Snag-it for android. I use that tool several times a day.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
anyway we can get HTC to find out about what we think might make it better?
^^ DOnt think so
Does Flyer have "Pen" to text?
Can we use the pen to send SMS?
I would like to combine more scribbles in one note. Currently it always takes a snapshot and I can save it as new note, but a popup menu allowing me to attach the snapshot to an existing note would be perfect.....
I'd like to see the spiral graphic go away, because it's just not helpful. I'd also like to be able to scroll infinity on the horizontal axis for unruly diagrams and tables.
Some kind of markdown-style structured text formatting would also be nice. Not WYSIWYG, just smart wiki-ish text parsing.?
I can probably post something to HTC support with a link to this discussion
They might listen if they find out that there is a group out there interested in using a "HTC Notes Premium". I would pay for more functionality.

I agree.
Another point is, there is no list view of notes. Also, everyday I use evernote, I wish I could zoom in and zoom out on notes.
I also wish there was an easy way to "unhighlight" highlighted text.
About the Spiral graphic
I think the spiral graphic is helpful
If you hold it, it actually disable all other input, except the pen, making it only pen usable.
wouldn't want that taken away
And I really need to resize the pictures. They are just too small if you have scribbled words on them.
Free the pen
This isnt necessarily a wish list for notes app but for the pen in general. Free it! by that i mean add an option to disable the scribble mode when touching the screen in any app that doesnt support the pen. with this option it would allow the pen to work as any normal capacitive stylus.
I like the notes app, but im looking forward to some of the handwriting to text apps that are coming to android soon and these would make the pen complete.

By the way, keeping your finger on the right side of the screen works for left-handed folks.

I think there is a bug in HTC notes preventing rich text notes that are created on desktop to be found when searched on the Flyer. This is really annoying!
Anybody experiencing the same?
I wish you could be able to flip the page in between notes like the reader app.
Color code notes is a good idea someone already mentioned.
Ability to scroll page to the right with double finger scroll
Pen to ocr would be amazing
Be able to edit a screenshot after you save it.
Be able to change the resolution of a screenshot. (bigger)
Annotate a whole html page instead of only parts from it.
Be able to make a notebook sync or unsync after setting it.
I am the developer of an app for handwritten notes targeted at tablets with active pens. Since I don't have a HTC Jetstream to test on, I would like to ask anybody who is interested to give it a try. Pen detection / palm rejection works on the HTC Flyer in the newest version (6.2), so I am pretty confident that it works on the Jetstream as well. Here is some more info about Quill:
Handwriting note-taking app for Android tablets (Honeycomb)
A key design goal is quick response to pen strokes and 100% vector graphics. Developed on a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet.
Features
Very fast response to pen strokes.
"Fountain pen" mode supports pen pressure data, more pressure = thicker line.
Pinch-to-zoom.
Double-finger tap to zoom.
Two-finger move gesture.
Pen strokes are vector art, zoom does not pixelate your writing.
"Pen only" mode (optional) disables touch input while writing.
Android 3.x hardware accelerated graphics.
Open source (GPL), so your notes are not stuck in an opaque file format.
PDF export (save to SD card, Evernote, Share).
PNG (raster image) export.
Can backup/restore your data.
Ruled/Quad background paper
Tagging for pages so you can group them together.
The n-trig active pen has been tested on the ThinkPad Tablet and the HTC Flyer (Honeycomb). The basic functionality should work on any Android tablet, but distinguishing pen from finger data and pressure sensitivity might not work on others. Please let me know your results if you try it on another tablet. See also http://code.google.com/p/android-quill/wiki/SupportedDevices
There is a thread on the Lenovo forum http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-slate-tablets if you want to discuss anything.
You can also get the app for free (as in free speech) at http://code.google.com/p/android-quill. Also available on the Android Market.

YESSS!!!! Thank you for dropping by the Jetstream forum!!!
It is working perfectly to me!!! NO MORE Lag when making notes like the Notes app that came with the Jetstream itself.
The pen is working fine and the pressure variation is really good!!! Hopefully, the app would support the eraser button on the ScribePen in the future.
I know that this is mainly for handwriting, but option for keyboard input would also be nice.
Now I finally have a decent note taking app for my school!
Thanks again!
GREAT!
works flawlessly!
finally someone made it work. thanks for letting us know.
if only your app were more like antipaper. more paper patterns, better way of creating entire notebooks. i use the jetstream as an electronic notebook and the antipaper gives me a pretty good solution.
all but the proper pen support..
App works great on my jetstream! Much better than the HTC note app.
The only thing I miss is a better way to organize my notes in some kind of folders/notebooks. At the moment I have to tag every page I want to export. It would also be great if we could import pictures or even better take them from within the app.
Anyways thanks a lot for the nice work!!
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
you shoul try "antipaper"
it's a very nice app, really helps with organizing the notes.
i use while putting my hand on a piece of cloth, which prevents the screen from feeling it, and makes the movement across the screen smoother.
i know its not ideal (and looks ridiculous) but it works for me.
also, the developer there is also implementing this feature. the only problam with this feature is the lower right corner...whenever you touch it, it pops up and disturbes. in both apps.
Great app! Thanks!

Amazing app. Love it. Just got my Jetstream a few days ago (may be like 8 days) was struggling with the inbuilt notes app which refused to save anything new that i added to a particular note beyond a certain stage. No such problems here.
COOOLLLL!!!
Rocking! This apps is cool. I'll keep playing with it, so far so great.
Happy holidays
Have a relaxing, calorie rich, weekend everyone ! Dont forget, giving a piece of rainforest or a brick in an African school can make your Christmas Joy last a life time!
wow it app sounds awesome! Can you tell me if it will run on the kindle fire with android 2.3?
why wouldnt it?
Nice app
Works on a rooted kindle fire running miui ics.
One feature that would be great is the zoom box in which to write. That lets your see your document and write neatly.
Would it be possible to allow for inserting images into the documents?
Thank you for the honey bar hide setting. Could you include an exit or quit icon up on top? To quit now I go to tags so the honey bar is revealed, then I tap home.

Been using Quill since ver 6. Love it, use it almost everyday.
Thanks for the hard work!
I deleted my comment because I was actually thinking about the app Papyrus, not quill.
AWESOME, I took Quill for a test drive and I can conclude that it's way better than the Stock application
So I noticed on my note 3 that S-Notes is way better than it was on the Galaxy note 10.1 and Galaxy Note II. There are more useful templates and more useful features (mainly, syncing with more services like dropbox and evernote).
As people get more experience, can anyone tell me which service they prefer? I'm split because I prefer LectureNotes for its power and the Cornell Note-taking template. But the S-note app is better integrated into touchwiz and has more powerful options now with automatic evernote and dropbox syncing.
For me i think it will be down to the S-note's ability to flawlessly import pdf's and annotate it

For that purpose I think EzPdf is way better than S-Note, at least if you want to make a workflow of annotated pdf's.

what do you mean when you say annotate, because honestly lecturenotes does it flawlessly. you can import and then write on it, type on it, draw on it, insert pictures on it, basically everything you can do on a normal blank paper.

yea, i've heard but im not sure what the widget looks like, the looks of the s note's widget looks pretty nice, like something i'd dedicated a whole home screen to

i've never used the widget before, but i'm going to fix that right now and fill you in.
ok:
i'm just assuming here but still; i'm gonna assume that S-note has a widget where if placed on a homescreen you can simply type in without opening the app itself. lecturenotes from the few tests i just made can't do that. you can either have a "widget" (really an app icon) that can open to a particular page that you specify or you can have one that just opens lecturenotes, i see nothing that would allow you to edit without opening the app itself. definitely not something worth dedicating a homescreen to....

Can you highlight and add sticky notes?

You can use the pen to highlight or underline, but no sticky notes. You can however create a text box and write in any notes, but that's as close as you can get.

How do you highlight?

I got frustrated with S Note and ditched it. I'm using Lecture notes now and really like it. The main thing that killed S Note for me was the way the notes were organized. Felt very cumbersome and non-intuitive. I wish they had left the UI for browsing folders and notebooks the same. Or maybe I just had too much trouble transferring my old notes into it.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone knew how to quickly expend a single page in lecture notes. I know I can go into the settings and change it that way, but I'd like to be able to do it on the fly and on a page by page basis instead of a global modification of the page length.

I'd imagine you just select the marker tip with whatever color, then change the opacity between 10% and 40%. Whatever you're comfortable with. At least that's how I had done it in the old 10.1 model.

gina nailed it, on how to highlight.

to expend a page? you wanna know how to quickly use up a page? don't understand what you're asking but i'll cover a few bases.
to quickly add a page click the "+" on the top right or if you're using a keyboard just press the down arrow.
to delete a page you click onto the page and open menu and delete it from there. deleting isn't as simple as adding unfortunately..
@ChrisNee1988: There is no built-in highlighter, as tastes concerning highlighters differ widely. As described by gina$zanboti, you can make one of the custom pencils to act as a highlighter, choose your favorite color and width, an intermediate alpha, and enable `draws behind other colors´. To quickly change to the highlighter, you can show the pencil toolbox (select `Show pencil toolbox´ in the `pencil´ menu, can be moved around by click-and-hold and setup in the app's tools settings; a single click on a pencil sets the pencil and a double-click on a custom pencil brings up the custom pencil settings) or assign it to your stylus button (in case your stylus has a button).
@gina$zanboti: I am not entirely sure whether I understand correctly. LectureNotes' pages have a fixed size.
Does LectureNotes have handwriting to text conversion? I have been using MyScript Notes Mobile which does do this but it begins to get laggy after 2-3 pages in terms of the screen delay from writing to on screen. When I used LN, it's near instant which is awesome and I really like it overall but converting to text is really big as I export QC scripts a lot.
My problem with snote is that importing removes searchable test which is a big no-no for me. Otherwise I'd probably use it. I am using it for free hand notes and like it for that.
@TheBigSaxon: There is no handwriting recognition in LectureNotes, but there are several soft keyboards that provide this functionality (meaning that you write with stylus and the keyboard app does as if you typed it).
tstsubi the
So, if your main storage for notes is Evernote, what is recommended as the front end for capture of notes, including handwriting recognition. Don't want to get locked into s note or lecture notes for the actual storage - just looking for advice on the best way to recognise handwriting, capture info etc, and sync seemlessly into Evernote.
any thoughts?
Is there any way in S Note to do a vertical page to imitate a sheet of paper like lecture notes can?

Yes, there is a portrait template of ruled paper. Or you can use the default landscape ruled paper template, and then just rotate the tablet into portrait mode and it should rotate the page as well.

Here is my 2 cents in using snotes and others working with pdfs
Things I like about snote:
Keeps the use of pressure sensitivity. This is something very special about our spens and I like the feel. I want to keep it when I'm writing.
This might sound stupid but this makes the writing feel the most realistic and not so machine like.
Once I'm in the editing mode I stay in the editing mode. Unlike ezpdf and lecturenotes where I have to hit the pen to start writing again and hand/back to scroll. I found this really annoying. For people annotating it may not be an issue but if you're actually taking notes and such it's a pain.
All the other special tricks with spen work in snotes well because it was made for it.
Negatives:
It has to import pdfs...This was the worst. It can't just open it as a pdf and start editing. Probably creating image type files. Not sure how lecturenotes imports pdfs because it's not available for the trial version. I imported a 200+ page pdf and it took longer than expected but now that
I have an expected time frame I may be able to deal with it.
Since it's not keeping the integrity of the pdf it can screw up some things while importing.
I'm a math guy and it screwed up a few notations here and there.
Scrolling...call me lazy but continuous scrolling is beautiful. Although I didn't like the fact that you can't be in between pages in ezpdf. While scrolling and you let go the page will automatically place itself so you see either the previous page or next page on the screen (depending on how far you let the split go past the screen).
Snote's scrolling is swipe or hit arrow right at bottom of screen. Swipe right is too slow. Animations are nice but unnecessary when turning the page. I usually like keeping the writing area in the middle of the screen. Also a reason why I want to be able to put the bottom of the page in the middle. But my hand being in the middle i think its annoying to go down to hit the right arrow. Just me being an annoying *****.
Hope this helps someone out there. =)
Edit: realized I was missing the add on to import pdfs for lecturenotes.
With short use it has a lot that I wanted. Now I dont know what I should use...
Edit 2 played with settings and im purchasing it now
@aznxkpx88: There is no need to alternate between `pencil´ and `hand´ mode in LectureNotes: You can scroll/zoom outside the `hand´ mode if you enable `allow two fingers scrolling/zooming´ in the app's input settings. Since you seem to use an S-pen (in which case you should enable `use stylus (hardware detection)´), you can also enable `allow one finger scrolling´ and scroll with one finger.
The constrain on the maximal number of pages per notebook in the trial version applies also to PDF imports.
Hi, am giving everyone a head's up on Google's new Handwriting Input app. Perfect for use with our S Pen.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.handwriting.ime&hl=en
For me, I use Google's KB (not Samsung's) and switch back & forth between normal and handwriting KB. You switch between input methods from within each app - no need to use Settings to switch. So it's practical as well, though not as seamless as Sammy's keyboard.
But I find Google's swipe feature much better than Sam's so the inclusion of the handwriting app is purely excellent. Hope it works for you too.

i used to install spen switcher app for note2 and note3 cant find it or similar app for note 4
Thx! Great!!!!

Wouldn't install on my note 4! Play Store says "incompatible with all of your devices".. did you guys install from the Play Store? or sideloaded?
Download from here and enjoy
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...e-handwriting-input-1-0-android-apk-download/
no hebrew support . But Samsung KB do support
I installed it from Play store but I do not like it:
1. No button to switch to a normal keyboard. They shoud have integrated it with their normal keyboard;
2. After every word I have to wait to recognize it because if write two words with space the keyboard think it is one word;
3. There is no option to scroll thru all the text and correct it.

Regarding point 3, tap and hold the globe to the left of space bar to stitch input methods
I've found it to be better at picking up my handwriting in the 2 days I've used it than the Sammy one is after 6 months of use, so it's a no brainer, I'm keeping the google one
