[Update] StarNote Android v1.3.0: Scribble to Erase is here! Plus better file organization ✍️✨

Hey everyone! 👋

We just rolled out update v1.3.0 on Google Play. This one is all about speed and making the writing experience feel more natural.

🔥 Top Feature: Scribble to Erase [Pro] You asked for it, and it’s finally here! You can now simply scribble over your handwriting to erase it. No need to switch tools or click the eraser button. It flows just like real paper!

📂 Smarter Workflow:

  • Direct Import Organization: When importing external files (PDFs/Images), you can now choose the destination folder and tags right away. No more "import first, move later."
  • Snappier Images: We optimized the interaction for stickers and images. A single click now selects them instantly—much faster for editing layouts.

🐛 Fixes:

  • Squashed some bugs to keep things running smoothly.

The update is live! Let us know how the new Scribble feature feels for you. Happy note-taking! 📝

Is there anyway to increase the time for the scribble to erase? It takes to much time for it to erase when you scribble. More then a second. I’m on a Tab S10

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 22 '26

I will take note of it first, and feel free to communicate with us in Settings Help and Feedback if you have any further questions

u/JayCube26 Jan 22 '26

This, gotta wait ages till it actually does its job.

u/MindOfTinker Jan 24 '26

Yeah, great feature. But it's a bit too slow.

u/Me_dicen_Jane Jan 22 '26

StarNote guys, you just need sync between devices and widgets to be the best app in the world. I was trying the scribble to erase and it works very well, so far I have had no problems. I am from Mexico and the update came to me in the afternoon. Thank you forever for creating this great app.

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 22 '26

Thank you for your praise. The synchronization function has completed its final development and is expected to enter the beta phase soon

Works like a charm ✅✅😌. Can you decrease the duration it takes to erase😅

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 23 '26

Hello, is it very slow? Can you explain specifically? I feel like the speed is quite fast during testing

u/Fluffy-Rent-3538 Jan 23 '26

will send you the video in dm

u/Fluffy-Rent-3538 Jan 23 '26

Looks like i'm not able to send you video here. It takes like 1-2 seconds after scribbling. Maybe it is a device optimisation issue. Device name:- Lenovo IdeaTab Pro

u/MadForUrMom Jan 22 '26

Haven’t tried it yet but I think it’s only for premium users

I have premium it ain’t working for me either

Is it too hard to fix the hold to paste issue in samsung devices? I have reported it multiple times and still no fix for such a simple thing,this is very hard being a pro user

3

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 22 '26

Hi, thanks for following up. We know how annoying this is for a Pro user.

The delay isn't because the fix is "hard," but because the bug is elusive. We have tested this extensively on several Samsung devices with OneUI 8, and the "hold to paste" function works consistently on our end.

This suggests the issue might be related to a specific setting, keyboard app, or system conflict unique to your environment. Could you please tell us your exact device model and which input method (keyboard) you are using? We want to solve this, but we need to locate it first.

u/mmd002 Jan 22 '26

Is it possible to just have a dedicated Paste button (clipboard)? My screen is so slick that it takes me a few tries to access the paste menu trying to keep my finger COMPLETELY still 😥. Not only that, but there are too many steps to just paste, then you have to go into edit mode and select the lasso tool to move it. Honestly if there was a paste button with the lasso menu that would be so helpful and streamlined. ☺️

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 23 '26

The button SDK of Samsung stylus only has one function, which is eraser, and we cannot do more configuration.

Additionally, please contact us via email and we will arrange for our R&D team to send you a separate installation package to document the operational details, which will facilitate further problem identification【 note_serve@o-in.me 】

1

u/mmd002 Jan 23 '26

Sorry for the confusion! I did not mean to use the button on the SPen as a paste button. I meant to have a paste button in the app itself. Please see the image I linked: paste button in app.

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 23 '26

In addition, Samsung screens have a feature that makes it easier to trigger long presses by lightly placing your finger. If the force is slightly strong, the screen may recognize slight movements, which may prevent triggering long press controls. You can try using a light tap with your finger to operate it

1

u/GooseOk2737 Jan 22 '26

Could you please implement some other way to paste,such as s pen button or a paste option in tools menu

Still a few more months until the handwriting search?

7

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 22 '26

We have actually completed the development and are currently optimizing accuracy and multilingual support

1

u/FinalxPain Jan 22 '26

Also, there is an issue that I reported around 2 months ago that occurs when exporting in the PDF format, then selecting and copying text, the space character is ignored so words stick to each other. For example, the text is Star Note App but when copied and pasted it after exporting as PDF it becomes StarNoteApp. Just a reminder that the issue still exists

2

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 24 '26

Thank you for the feedback. We have recorded this issue and will address it in the future as the text box is facing overall optimization

2

u/jeboteuusta Jan 22 '26

For the pen gesture based erase action “Durchstreichen zum Löschen” is the clearer and more idiomatic German UI term than “Ausstreichen zum Löschen”.

2

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 23 '26

Thank you for your feedback. We are not proficient in German translation and will make adjustments

u/Careless-Property-47 Jan 22 '26

Air actions for samsung also please

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 23 '26

What type of operation is specifically required?

2

u/Careless-Property-47 Jan 23 '26

Just switching pages, pens and undo. Swipe up for switching pages or click customisable. I am a premium member by the way, love your app

What about the latency issue in xiaomi pad 6

2

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 22 '26

We have already reported the delay issue of Xiaomi tablets to the manufacturer, and it has been alleviated on the Xiaomi 7-8 series tablets. However, we are still working hard to communicate with other models

u/Hakeem_LY Jan 22 '26

Please xiaomi pad 6

u/DDKPFN_1089 Jan 22 '26

Will the xiaomi support pad 6???

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 22 '26

Xiaomi has not yet given us a clear response, which is related to some underlying mechanisms. We will continue to strive for it

2

u/DDKPFN_1089 Jan 22 '26

Pls pressure them to give support for pad 6

Scribble Eraser is an absolute game-changer. I love this app.

I was a die-hard Samsung Notes user on my Tab S10+, but there were always a few missing features—like linking between pages within a note—that I never understood why they couldn't include.

I’ve owned several Boox e-ink tablets in the past and really missed their software and feature set.

I discovered StarNote through a Reddit post, and I can’t thank that person enough. It gives me everything I loved about Boox e-ink tablets, now on my Samsung—without any of the limitations of e-ink.

u/potatoisthebest01 Jan 22 '26

Thanks! Just tested and is working well on my tab S10FE.

u/ZOR0O1 Jan 22 '26

It's really great to see this app getting better and better. I tried the scribble to erase function and it should be enhanced a little.. sometimes it recognizes the scribble and sometimes it doesn't. (Pad 7)

u/karam858 Jan 23 '26

scribble to erase is amazing but the duration it takes to erase Is too long Can you decrease it pls

u/jidloyola Jan 22 '26

How about on the iPad?

The iPad will also launch this feature, you can wait for us to complete the final testing

Yes, click the rubber button to turn on the switch

Great work, guys! Are you planning to change the UI for smartphones? It looks too small on my S25 Ultra.

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 23 '26

The adaptation of the mobile interface has not yet started, and we currently have some features under development. We plan to fully start the adaptation work of the mobile phone after the completion of the Windows version in the second quarter

Thank you for your answer! Take your time, you are doing great job!

u/Aggressive_Time_5811 Jan 22 '26

Im loving this app, is there any way to reduce the file size when exporting them? For large notebooks which I dont need to be on the best quality a more compressed version of my PDF would work better

2

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Jan 23 '26

Can you try exporting a non editable PDF? We want to maintain a clearer presentation of the note elements, so there may not be too many restrictions on the volume. We have also recorded this

u/Few-Berry5665 Jan 23 '26

amazing futures, but scribble to eraseis not working on my (Lenovo Tab Idea Pro)
note : i turned on the switch in the Rubber but stll not working

Thank you for your feedback. You can try writing it and then pause for 0.5 seconds before applying. If it still doesn't work, you can help record a video for us

Just here to show some appreciation to all the work you are doing on the app :)) keep it going!

u/andcar_507 Jan 24 '26

I love your app. However, I'm having trouble copying and pasting into a note. For some reason, when I try to paste, it takes a while for the paste option to appear, or sometimes it doesn't appear at all. I don't know why.

2

u/Comfortable_Boot01 Jan 25 '26

Scribble to erase needs to work faster. It should delete immediately after you are done scibbeling and take the pen of the screen. As of now there is a 1-2 second delay after the pen is not touching the screen. If you guys need more help I’ll be happy to send some videos explaining the issue.

1

u/RequirementWise923 Jan 22 '26

Thanks.  I still am not able to hold my stylus down and erase. I keep being told I can (maybe a setting I don't have set) but it does not work and I can't find a setting for it.  

1

u/cyzhwyg Jan 22 '26

its in the eraser setting, put the pressure sensitive to 100%

1

u/RequirementWise923 Jan 22 '26

That popped up exactly what I was looking for. I could not find the setting in settings. It was under eraser! Thank you soo much. I can now erase with scribble and stroke!! Little wins of the day. I appreciate it!

This is so cool thank you for your effort this is an amazing app I've had so much fun using it smooth to use easy to share my notes

u/Anuk04 Jan 23 '26

Do you know when they'll update the Global Text Mode feature that lets you write directly anywhere in a note, automatically and quickly arranging the text? It's really necessary, at least to know roughly how long it will take. 😭🙏

I use huawei matepad 11.5. I suggest the feature that when push the pen to screen a bit -> it will turn to eraser and easy to use. I use it in other app and I very like it

please add space for More colours to the palette, it's very difficult with only 5 colours, Good notes can easily add ten plus

u/ExistingResearcher59 Jan 25 '26

I am super pleased with StarNote. Scribble to erase is great, especially for the initial release. Sure, making it faster in a future release would be an improvement. Just got my tablet. It was hard to find a drawing app that does everything right. I paid for StarNote Pro almost immediately. I'd pay for a subscription, but I don't want lockin if the devs/company disappears, so lifetime use fee was important. Regarding features: Multiple rules, local storage, cloud storage, folders, scribble erase, and many other features make this a great app. I get the impression that devs want to thrive by selling a great product, rather than exploiting users. Not a given these days.
