In journal drawings, are vectors: you can zoom in a lot, you can copy paste&#x2F;resize them, you can erase individual strokes completely by tapping one part of them (if you set the eraser to vector).<p>In journal you can specify your own background; I like little squares to draw and take notes rather than college-book style lines. In S-Note they pre-defined a few paper templates, and the only thing that comes close (&#x27;idea notes&#x27; or something) uses a beige back-ground, which looks ugly when putting on a webpage. Thus I use an imagemagick script to fix those (cumbersome).<p>Journal makes it a bit easier to manage notes, they live in a proper file system; pages within notes are easier to manage (that page-management sub-tool in S-note is very cumbersome). Journal allows searching in notes based on text recognition, per file or per folder.<p>I found exporting easier with journal, but that may just be because you are on a proper operating system where you can copy and paste quickly; on the Note the normal modus operandi for copying seems to be to &#x27;lasso&#x27; stuff, which you can&#x27;t put on a website nicely (images are rectangles, not hand-lassoed loops).<p>Is there a way to update S-Note? (If not, that could be sort of another complaint: lack of updates)
