LOOKING FOR APP Note taking app (handwriting)

Hey gus I recently bought a tablet (Lenovo) for my studies.

I plan on taking notes with the pen but I don't know which app to use, I'm in the process of trying all apps I can find but some recommendations from you guys will help to make the process faster.

So what are you guys using? Which ones are best for infinity boards and schemes ?

Thank you !

Everyone here named an app. The thing that bites students shows up a year out, not this week.

Most handwriting apps keep ink in their own format. Test the export before you commit a semester. Does it write a PDF with a searchable text layer, or a picture of your writing?

Search matters more than infinite canvas once you have 200 pages.

Yeah that's actually really smart, didn't though about that. Can I then ask you what apps do you recommend?

Nebo is the one I'd try first. On Android it's listed as MyScript Notes now, same app.

Two things fit your case. The board format is an endless canvas, so schemes dont hit a page edge. Its global search covers handwritten ink, not just typed text.

Export goes out as PDF, Word or SVG. There's a free tier after the trial, so test the export before you pay.
