Samsung apps (like Samsung Notes) on other devices (like a PC)

[dlalonde]

I'm all for using Samsung apps, I think they're pretty good. But my problem is how accessible the information on it are. For instance, Samsung Notes. My notes can be saved on my PC with SmartSwitch. But I can't read them on my PC. The backup file is not readable with an app (as far as I know). There's no online app either. So I use Google Keep as I can access my notes on my PC.

My question is, are there any way of seeing the information in those apps on other devices than my phone? Is it just because I can't find it?

There is a Windows 10 Samsung Notes app but I can't install it.

Thanks

Why can't you install it? https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...re%2Fp%2Fs-note%2F9wzdncrfhwg6&token=9MJnAawl should work.

Oh yeah it does! I didn't see that app in my search. I saw this one: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...2Fsamsung-notes%2F9nblggh43vhv&token=dTScGujA

Thanks for your help! I'm trying this now!

It doesn't work. The app launches but I put in my Samsung account and activate sync but the switch turns off after a second and doesn't sync. Looking at comments in the Windows Store it seems to be a problem present since the beginning of the year. It's a shame as I find Samsung Notes superior to Google Keep.

OneNote is better than either IMO.

I'll second you on that.

To get your S-notes into OneNote, you have to convert them to PDF, then import them into OneNote.

OneNote is free and supports handwriting. It is much more powerful than S-notes.

Yeah I guess I'll have to resort to that. I thought Samsung Notes was a good compromise between the more feature rich OneNote and the more simple Google Keep. The app is really good. But if all notes are stuck on one device, it's ridiculous.

Thanks guys!
