Samsung Notes on Galaxy Book is missing features that exist on Galaxy Tab — anyone else noticing this?
I use Samsung Notes across a Galaxy Book and other Samsung devices, and I've noticed the PC version genuinely lags behind the tablet/Android version in a few specific ways:
- No manual canvas/page rotation on PC — on tablet, you can naturally rotate the device while writing, which makes handwriting feel more comfortable. The PC version doesn't have this at all, which is rough if you're using a pen display or graphics tablet for long writing sessions.
- Toolbar layout is different and less flexible — on PC, the toolbar is fixed to one side and can't be moved, whereas the Android version lets you position it differently. The pen icons on PC also look like they're from an older version of the app.
- Covers aren't consistent across devices — covers I set on my tablet/phone don't show up or aren't available on the PC version.
It's frustrating because Samsung markets the S Pen + Notes experience as a unified ecosystem feature across Galaxy Book, Tab, and phone — but the actual app clearly isn't developed in lockstep. Feels like the PC version is playing catch-up rather than being a true equal.
Has anyone else run into this? Curious if these are known issues Samsung's aware of, or if there's a way to actually get feedback to the team beyond the community forums.
