Flexcil review: Tab S6 | The Future of Android Note Taking?

[@RegularTeenager]

Let me know if you've already tested the app and what are your thoughts on the new features that Flexcil has implemented (and also the ones they're missing at the moment)!

[@stevenalexander4721]

I've been using Samsung Notes but I definitely prefer this. I love that you can have notebooks with covers and not just a sheet of paper sitting there. This ability allows for better customization and organization as well. The only two things I would like to see brought over from Samsung Notes is the ability to set favorite pens and to click through them with the s pen button.

[@masia8787]

Should i use Flexcil or Samsung Notes its kinda hard to chose between them?

[@jakubsowinski2293]

A great missing option is save pdf to device.

[@1945erde]

Tried it out - Squid is better. Still

[@1945erde]

By the way, is it Navy blue Tab S7 ? 512 or 256 Gb

[@anfalt42]

I really love the app, seems so useful and the interface is so clean. I would love to have the sync option developed in the app, since I like seeing my notes in multiple devices, but would give it a try when I can. Loved the video!!

[@reitei1756]

Can you make flexcil vs samsung notes. Im using samsung notes and i would like to see if it is worth it to buy flexcil premium.

[@RegularTeenager]

Sounds like a great video idea:)!

[@ketiperanidze8603]

that's exactly what I need, I hope he's gonna make a video about that.

[@MarimbaMaurice]

Is it in the works? :)

[@Ilovecomedy7]

Doesn’t Flexcil offer a two-week trial version for the premium ?

[@laislyra5512]

Samsung notes is terrible for annotating PDFs, each time you save it, it creates a new file. So for me this was a big nope.

[@mini9503]

Nice! I've been looking for something more feature-packed than Samsung Notes on my Tab S6. Flexcil looks like a perfect alternative! You should do a comparison between the Flexcil and Samsung Notes

[@Vysair]

This is like Samsung Notes but with more feature and customization!

[@imjudging9024]

I want to ask, how to take notes easily using this apps? It's hard to zoom in / zoom out because it doesn't have infinite template.

[@universalchest9078]

Actually it's better than samsung... Cuz my handwriting comes out better in this app than samsung notes 😇😂

[@lawrencekahn2766]

You mentioned the lack of OCR search capability and that is the biggest deal breaker for me. Also I use the easy writing pad feature in Samsung Notes, where I can write large text in a small window and then the text is entered into the main note in a smaller size. This makes writing neatly more easy to do. While not ideal, the easy writing pad automatically scrolls to the right. Contrast the easy writing pad with Flexcil, where one has to zoom in on the whole page and manually scroll to the right and left. While a pop-up document is useful in Flexcil, one can basically do the same thing with the side bar in a Samsung tablet, and using the tablet's capture capability, copy and paste graphics. I'm not sure if it's much more convenient with Flexcil. While users may consider Flexcil's resolution better than Samsung Notes, this is not a deal breaker for me yet since I'm mostly referring to my notes in note mode and not converting to and printing PDF files with Samsung Notes. So far, I've found that while Samsung Notes could be improved upon in areas such as resolution and customization of note covers, etc., across the board, Samsung Notes is more balanced with practical features, despite the compromises with what is offered. Flexcil does have some unique features and is more polished with some of them, but they're not enough to entice me to switch.

[@RegularTeenager]

I agree! Samsung notes has a more balanced set of features but I'm also glad that apps like Flexcil bring new features that can improve the user experince!!

[@surajklverma]

According to you which note taking app is overall best.

[@gaothepotato]

I came from 3 years of usage of Samsung Notes and I agree that it has more balance with its practical features. What's more, is that all of these features are free unlike with Flexcil where you have to buy the premium to get all the features. What made me switch to Flexcil, however, wasn't any of the feature differences but the response rate of Flexcil in comparison to Samsung Notes. The optimized writing experience Flexcil gives when writing is enough for me to switch. I use my tablet mainly for long writing sessions (from lecture notes, journalling, etc.) At some point, when I write using SNotes, it's comparatively slower, but with Flexcil, it's as if I'm writing in an actual paper (not with the texture but with how fast the writing came seems). I also tested Flexcil the very day I got my tablet and noticed that it was faster than SNotes (so it's definitely not because of my device), but I didn't stick to it at first cause it ain't fully free. 3 years after just SNotes usage, the response rate when writing really got to me, so I made the switch. Honestly, if not for that, I'd probably just stick with Samsung Notes since all of their features are good enough, also most of my devices are Samsung and the Sync to all devices is just so helpful to me. The features ain't as optimized, but it's all enough to get by. However, my switching just because of the optimized writing experience that Flexcil has goes to show that maybe in a note-writing app, the writing experience is the most important thing, and I hope Samsung can improve and polish even just that.

[@GamerEngineer1345]

Hopefully Samsung Notes implement some of these features ! Having sync option between my tablet and laptop is a crucial feature that is perfect on samsung notes

[@RegularTeenager]

Toooootally agree, that's why I'm really glad apps like these keep coming with new useful features!!

[@anushkagupta6680]

Just wondering where have you gone? Its been 7 months🤔

[@begumhannafathima8494]

it would be even better if they has zoomed in Feature for writing...with this tool my work is very neat without much hassle

[@yaffett.lombardo]

I use flexcil on my iPad, and is one of the best pdf editing - note taking app there (with loooow cost, comparing to pdf expert, pdf element,...) I such recommend this app. great video!

[@astroch]

Wow, looks soo good. Noteshelf, squid and samsung notes are so frustrating... This app just need auto cloud backup (in both pdf and editable) and then they can take my money

[@x6andrey]

which one do you prefer?

[@og4557]

They have auto sync now 😂 hi from 3 yes ago

[@SimonBauer7]

this is the notetaking app to use if you have a non samsung android tablet. edit: other good (in my opinion better) alternative is touchnotes which has basically the same features as flexcil but a pixel eraser and better line editing tools and 3d shapes

[@guizarbayardoemmanuelisaia1718]

Both seem great! I'll try the premium trial and see what suits me best

[@abbyy6361]

the fact that flexcil doesnt have cloud syncing is the biggest deal breaker to me. Touchnotes is good, but there are too many features and the user interface is a little bit too complicated for casual-educational note takers. The best one is definitely Jnotes. it has more features than flexcil, but not as complicated as touchnotes and has a friendly user interface. It also offers cloud syncing.

[@JR-yh9jh]

Thank you very much for showing the app. I love the features. I will use this over samsung notes because it can edit in empty pages in my profs pdfs

[@RegularTeenager]

Thanks to you for supporting the content:)!!

[@davijorgearte]

Perfect review. All of all the features. Thank you !

[@Jemmainadilemma]

ahhh it’s so stressful that there are so many apps and i never know what to use!! also i’m so bad at organising my notes, and i mostly just end up editing in the one drive app (i know i know) bc it means i can access it on my laptop immediately without faffing around saving it in different places (i’m very bad with tech ngl). thanks for this video! what are you studying?

Hey there, I have three questions from you, if you would be kind enough to answer them, 1) Do you use any screen protector? anything like "paper-like screen protector" of the iPad? for more paper-like experience. 2) What tip do you use for your pen? I need to change my tip and I don't know which one should I take. 3) what is the theme that you are using? that looks really cool.

[@P3rcyverse]

As always, you're giving us the most amazing content. I really love how you explain everything and gets more and more interesting and so clear. I love Samsung notes, but I'd try to win that full version and maybe make it my main app for college and notes. Thanks and take care.🤩🤗🤓

[@tanmaykale1863]

Good to know android has good app like ipad

[@RegularTeenager]

Yeah! And I'm very happy to see new apps joining the android world:)!

[@zizo-ve8ib]

With respect, ever heard of touchnotes, I feel much more comfortable with it not to mention not having actual shapes (don't mean auto shapes) in is a deal breaker for me, while it may not have some features like high accuracy selection of different types of data and some lagging undo gesture it's still a fav for me

[@PrincessLavanya03]

[@tokikhan4911]

Did the tab s6 get laggy over the years

[@RegularTeenager]

Over the past few months I've notice some lag that had never been there before with really small and not demanding tasks but it was solved after restarting that tablet:)!

[@tokikhan4911]

Is that lag or slowing down over the months a deal breaker because I want buy the tab s7 plus thanks love your video very helpful

[@jeremyabramson4343]

Unfortunately Flexcil doesn't have the voice recording or zoom window function that Samsung Notes has. This makes it a deal-breaker for me. Also the paper templates don't take up the entire screen of the phone or the tablet, wasting screen real-estate.

[@ADHS-xc8rj]

What do you mean by zoom window function? You mean the same function that Good notes has?

[@SujalRajput10]

[@randalfmajere7239]

New Android note-taking app is a piece of good news, I read of many already ready to leave SNotes but I think some important features are still missing: sync on top and handwrite searching, for example. Let's how they develop it (I think: SNote, OneNote and NoteShelf still Dwarf). Keep us updated, thx!

[@saiprasadamara6371]

The only thing stopping me from using flexcil entirely is that the notetaking experience on flexcil is not as good as that of samsung notes hope this changes

Thank you for all your VDO about Android note taking app. It is very useful and help me a lot. I have spent on flexcil app for 2021 Planner Sticker Pack and 2021-2022 Planner. They are amazing, but just some tools confuse me sometimes. I am working on it. Questions: 1. Can we rotate the picture? 2. What kind of icon that you used on your tab? Thanks.

[@JrgMP1]

Does anyone that used the original S Note app from Galaxy note I-V or until was forcibly removed by Samsung, feels this a great clone plus upgrade of that original Samsung app? I do, hopefully I'm not the only one

[@JHMKruse]

Love the explanation in detail and from watching your video I have purchased the Flexcil app and it is just wanted I wanted for taking notes and marking up PDF files. My question is what is the THEME you have on the Tablet that gives you those neon icons? That looks cool and I want it please.

[@ChristopherHillJr]

Great video man, keep them coming I'm loving them. Did you get a new Galaxy S7 tab?

[@RegularTeenager]

Thanks a lot for the support! I didn't get a new tab, I'm still using the tab s6, but I did buy the spen of the tab s7 for a more comfortable writing:)!

[@jakubsowinski2293]

It looks interesting and promising (on Tab S7+). I just tried to export pdf and save to device but I see no option.

[@Belisiario]

At least at the actual version when u click to share u have all the usual social media icons to choose from to share but under the Flexcil icon there's also an option written "Save to device" (or something like that)

[@Agent.313]

Hi, love ur explanations btw. Would you mind making videos on printing from these apps? For example i just started using samsung notes, new to digital notes, whem i was printing the notes my gridlines either didnt print out or half of it got printed depending on which gridlines i used. Video on what apps is good for printing notes would be great.

[@phuongthaonguyen1110]

This guide is so amazing. Thank you 💓💓 Flexcil can't change the template of new page which we add between two others pages of PDF, right? I tried but fail

[@samuelmanni582]

I find the app really cool! Between Squid and Noteshelf is the one I prefer the most. The only thing that misses for me is the possibility to import a pdf in an already existing Note. Do you know if that's possible? (In Squid you can do that, for instance, by selecting "import pdf", once your note is opened. It also allows you to decide if you want to put it before or after the already existing pages)

[@Vysair]

Yes you can, this app is literally the best option. It is like Samsung Notes but so so much better

[@samuelmanni582]

@@Vysair That's good to know. How do you do that? I found the option of importing the file in the dashboard, to then copy it in my wished document, but I find it a little complicated. I wish there was an easier option

[@Vysair]

@@samuelmanni582 Yes that's exactly that. For me it opens up my Files Manager so I just navigate to the pdf since I know where it was saved. If you find it hard to navigate, try installing Fx File Explorer. To use it, you just need to tap on the navigation menu (top left) and choose Fx File Chooser when using Import Files from Flexcil. Alternatively, you are better off with Mixplorer since it has Documents tab which list all your documents, similar to how Samsung Notes works
