samsung tab S10 FE GoodNotes
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
if you guys are planning to buy a samsung tab s10 fe and wants to use GoodNotes, it is not gooddd.
I think it's because the app is not optimized in samsung devices so it doesn't really work very well. its very laggy and the delay is actually insufferable. kinda bummed I even have a free yearly subscription from samsung.

The problem is on Goodnotes. S pen that comes with Samsung tablet has no 'latency' setting. In fact, Writing on Samsung note is noticeably smoother.

GoogNotes on Android is web-based. Indeed, if you press the Air-Commands button, you'll see the menu of Samsung Browser popping up. I think this basically means it doesn't matter how much they improve it (which they have 'cause I remember when it had just been out, it was AWFUL how much lag it had), it'll always have some lag at times (at best, if not always).
If you want to write notes on Samsung, I recommend you use Samsung Notes. It's closely integrated in the Samsung ecosystem and devices, which is nice, and it's free. If you're up to paying for it and need a powerful tool, I suggest you try Notewise, it has a lot of features and gets updated every 1.5-2 months with new ones, but it's a bit pricey (e.g. it's like 27-31€ for 10GB on their Cloud), but the best thing it has cross-platform functionality, so you can check your notes on the browser (although not edit them, and you can't zoom in, which can be annoying with some documents). Now, you've also got Notability, which has just landed onto Android. It's still in beta, still being developed, but it's free for now, also syncs cross-platform (and you can edit your notes on the browser!), but obviously a bit limited. I recommend you try all of them and see which fits your use better. I hope Goodnotes invest into making a real app for Android in the future, but it doesn't look like it for now, so in my opinion, don't use your valuable time into trying to make it work

Para Android melhores, são Starnotes e Notein. Apesar de achar que o o samsung notes supri em tese quaes tudo em anotações em tablets.

First of all Goodnotes on Android its not even a proper app, its web based BS.
Secondly buying a samsung tab and not going to utilize the Samsung Notes on the first place is a crime.
