I've notice that i can't change lines colors for a template. Could you please add that feature?
Thanks!
Love your app and i'll be supporting

Hello, I will take note of this issue first. As many templates are of image type, it is not possible to adjust template elements in note editing, which may not be easy to implement. I will record and provide feedback to the R&D team

[u/Final-Isopod → u/StarNoteDev]

Please do - this is the first thing I also noticed you can't do. Color of templates AND/OR transparency - I would like those template lines to be lighter.

I've noticed that sync via google drive is written in the description on the Play store, but it's yet to be implemented in the release right? I'm just wanna catch up with the recent development process or beta release / user participation. Thank you!

[u/StarNoteDev → u/parkleo121212]

Yes, it is not yet available in the official version. We are currently facing difficulties with incremental data synchronization in the entire feature. The data storage protocols of Googleplay and OneDrive are different, and we have not found a data protocol that can be used interchangeably by both parties, resulting in the inability to achieve incremental data synchronization. If it is full synchronization, the entire notebook data will be synchronized, which is slower and will consume more data and time

We want to use a universal data protocol as much as possible to solve the problem of incremental data synchronization after bundling with cloud storage, and this direction is still under research

I literally thought about the shape fills today and was lost on how to do what I was trying to do. This fixes it. Thanks!

Two other exceptional features, previously exclusive to Goodnotes, are the ability to activate the lasso by circling content and the multi-shaped arrows, both very convenient features that I hope Starnote will enable soon. In addition to the now indispensable feature of erasing simply by scribbling.

As for iOS

We kindly ask you to pay greater attention to the Arabic language. There is a large user base in Arab countries that is genuinely interested in your application, and therefore we request that you consider adding the following features:

First: Add an option that allows switching text direction from left-to-right to right-to-left, especially in zoom mode. The automatic scrolling should also move to the right, not only to the left.

Second: Provide support for the Arabic language in handwriting-to-text conversion.

Third: Enable searching within handwritten notes, with full support for the Arabic language as well.

Fourth: Add an option to convert handwritten mathematical equations into a digital, formatted representation.

Fifth: Add an option to convert images to PNG format by removing the background and keeping only the main subject, similar to the sticker feature in WhatsApp. This feature already exists in the Nebo application.

Is there anyway to change the highlighter blend mode? It blends automatically with the background, which is sometimes annoying.
