Has anyone tried handwritten notes with the new Evernote update?

Hi all,

I'm contemplating purchasing a Note 8.0. I would be doing so pretty much entirely for the purpose of taking handwritten lecture notes. Importantly, I want these to sync seamlessly back-and-forth to my PC, which I would use for pretty much every single other task.

Up until recently, that hasn't really been in the cards: if you wanted to take handwritten notes on the Note, there were plenty of apps, but they only supported syncing via exporting-to-image. So you could export a handwritten equation to Evernote in png format, but if you ever had to go back later to tweak it slightly you were out of luck.

Recently, that changed, as Evernote now allows for handwritten notes. However, I haven't been able to really test out this feature very well on my small, digitizer-less phone.

How is this feature working for people on their tablets? Is it easy/effortless/seamless to switch back and forth? Or kind of cumbersome? How does stuff like erasing work? Etc.

Would love any info you all have, as this will help me make my purchasing decision. Thanks!!
 
I recently purchased the note 8 (2 days ago) and the first thing I did was try Evernote's handwriting feature, and I must say it works flawlessly with the Spen. The only major gripe I have is that there are 2 arrows at the top on bottom of the page for scrolling..and it gets in the way of typing below them, but besides that it works great!
 
this is interesting.
