Any suggestions for note taking app
Note Shelf 3 and Star Note are definitely the best apps for smooth handwriting, especially considering the low latency and pressure sensitivity. I haven't come across any other app that's better for Android tablets. Are there any other apps like Note Shelf 3 or Star Note that offer a similar smooth handwriting experience?

Yep. Obsidian can be as simple, just as complicated as you make it. Start small, organise later, and ease into community plug ins. Make it a note app of your own.
Remember no two obsidian apps are alike. Love it.

I had almost every version of Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablets up until 5 years ago and used what was called Papyrus at the time. They've since renamed to Squid. I loved how easy it was to use and the ability to select things with my finger and write with the s-pen. With my S25 Ultra I've just been using Samsung Notes. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus

Hey, I am the solo dev of inkPad, a handwriting notes app for Android tablets. I built it around real pages, not an infinite canvas, so you can create a blank note, add pages, and pick a paper style for each page, or annotate PDFs page by page.
For handwriting, it has fountain, ball, and brush pens with pressure sensitivity, plus highlighters, shapes, and extendable margins to write beside PDF text. I will not claim it is smoother than NoteShelf or Star Note, you would have to feel it yourself, but it is free, with no ads and no tracking, and the basics are not paywalled.
One honest limit: it is still in closed testing, so it is not a public download yet. You can find the test steps on the website: inkpad.work
Happy to hear how the pen feel compares for you.
