The button for a new document is not as visible as it could be. I am colour blind and it is difficult to see with the existing documents obscuring the button. Why not put it in all the white space available above the list of documents? As of 24 April 2025 I have noticed the search option has be removed from the top of the edit screen and is only available from the drop down menu. WHY????

Over the years, this is at least the 3rd generation (that I remember, maybe more) of Notes. Each year, more complicated and worse, and this year, no more import old version notes. And what will import sucks. Stop reinventing the wheel Samsung!!! 😔 ---------UPDATE 4/2/25: Love Samsung Notes. Use often. App format has not changed over recent years and is a lot easier to use now. Drawings and lists made with my stylus are perfect. I dont know of any other cell phone that would offer this function.

Use this for everything. Just one issue I've noticed; on previous Samsungs when you've finished typing, pressing the back button used to save your notes without leaving the page, now you've to return to the notes list & go back into it to save what you've typed. That's OK if you want to leave the memo, but if you just want to edit something & still read it, that can be a bit of a pain. Unless there is a way of saving it without leaving the page that I haven't found yet.
