The S Pen that comes with the Samsung Galaxy Note series is a useful writing tool for anyone fed up with typing and tapping. It can be used for sketching and drawing as well. There are several stylus-friendly applications out there but we will be checking out the best of the best in this article. See them in our list of Best S Pen Apps For Galaxy Note:

It replaces the S Note application that came with more ancient Note devices.
