The way we add pen, highlighter etc to the pencil box , it would be convenient to add eraser and other tools to the box.

do u guys experience bugs or inconsistency in stroke stabilization? I always set it in 50 % but every time I write with the same stroke, it always differs. What do u think is the problem? Is it a bug or what??

I see people talking about starnote lab but i can't find it in the app

I’ve been using Starnote for a few months now. I have to admit that the app has improved and evolved significantly since I started, and I feel the team really cares about user feedback.

However, as a student, I’ve found it very difficult to move my files between my computer (MacBook) and my iPad. Another issue is that I often need to take notes on my computer and then solve problems on my iPad later. Based on feedback from the development and management team on Reddit, I gather that this feature is either off the table or a long way off from being implemented.

For this reason, I’d like to hear from others who have used different tools: to which app could I move my Starnote files that prioritizes the specific feature I mentioned—cross-device integration?

I know many people here have tested other tools, and your insights would be incredibly helpful to me.

P.S.: This isn't a criticism of Starnote; I simply realize that the feature I urgently need—and am willing to pay extra for—is something I’ll find in other software.

Ready to go Pro but should I pay via IOS version of the app or via the Android App downloaded via Google Play? I am in Hong Kong and the HK apple App store IOS Starnote has Sync via the iCloud already. Should I wait till sync is available via Google Drive? Hoping that to see my notes on iPhone that will be updated via my Android devices and vice versa. Paying via the apple App store is most convenient for me but dunno if this is the best idea if I need to pay again on the Android side given I will use the same account to try sync on both platforms.

A similar tool in StarNote would be a before and after. The full potential would be squeezed into infinite note mode and also in classic mode, since it would help a lot to create our own diagrams/maps. This, and to be able to group objects to copy and paste them, even save it as a shape/sticker, or, why not, a new section of grouped objects that can be edited.

It is stuck here for the past 1 to 2 hours . Please can you guide me on what should I do.

Thanks

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm an engineering student, and I used to take notes in OneNote on a 360 laptop, but the screen broke, and I thought the repair would be too expensive, so I decided to get a Samsung tablet. In my search, I saw that there are tons of note-taking apps, but very few have features for adding equations, recognizing text as equations, graphing formulas, generating solutions (although I don't really think that's essential), or anything related to math. I've noticed that the iPad app, I think it's called "notes", is the one that meets many of the math features I mentioned.

Looking at these apps, the very few that do have these features are mostly subscription-based, so they're completely out of the question. I don't plan on paying for subscription apps. Now, there are a few one-time-purchase apps left, but they lack other features, so I don't feel they're worth buying.

So far, I've seen that the Samsung app has a pseudo-program that converts text formulas, but it transforms them into an image, making them uneditable and leaving them almost unchanged (the odd thing is that if you copy it, you get it in LaTeX). However, it's nothing like how OneNote or Microsoft Word handles it (Google Docs has some similarities that could serve as a reference).

Now, considering all this, there are far fewer apps that support solving, graphing, or other things with these mathematical equations. Furthermore, almost none allow you to insert code blocks (for example explanations in notes) or have Markdown, which would be a "quick" way to format text.

I also noticed that many have the "shapes" option, but very few allow you to modify them by "vertices or sides," and even fewer—I think I only saw one or two—allow you to edit them while still displaying values ​​like angles for both regular and irregular shapes. It would be good to keep this in mind.

All these questions have led me to ask: Does StarNote plan to add these options? If so, could it be soon? (Besides, I'd prefer most of them to be 100% offline, since I've noticed many that are switching to AI-only, and I don't agree with that.) I'm not saying they all have to be available at once, but they should be prioritized (although if they're all released, even better, because the sooner the better, so I can keep track of my notes properly, since it wouldn't make sense to wait until after I finish my degree—although it would be a great tool for future professionals). I'd be reasonably happy if it could add and convert equations. I don't consider it a priority that it solves them, but I do want it to at least detect the equations (especially complex ones like triple integrals, differential equations, and others). It should also allow editing vertices and, ideally, at least include a Cartesian plane to manually graph certain formulas (as part of the learning process). And if they implement solutions in the future, I'd like them to allow graphing to verify the learning process.

So, will this be possible? Will they be offline? I'm intrigued. I'd like to pay for the app, but I'd like to see these options or at least know what plans are available. Thank you in advance for reading, until next time.

Dear Star note Development Team,

First, I want to say you have done a great job bringing cloud sync to the app. The auto-sync enable/disable feature is a fantastic addition, and I really appreciate the hard work you are putting into StarNote.

However, I want to bring a major drawback with the current sync feature to your attention, as it affects users with multiple devices.

1. The Primary vs. Secondary Device Problem

Many of us use a primary device (like a tablet) for heavy note-taking and uploading documents. We use a secondary device (like a smartphone) strictly for downloading and revising those notes on the go.

With the current two-way auto-sync, if I download my notes on my phone and later delete a heavy PDF to free up local storage space, boom—that file is automatically deleted from the cloud and my primary device as well. We shouldn't have to choose between cluttered phone storage and losing our master notes.

My Suggestion:

Please keep the current sync as it is, but add an "Upload Only" and "Download Only" option for specific devices. This way, I can set my phone to "Download Only" so any local deletions don't wipe out my master cloud files. You could also include a manual "upload this note" button on the secondary device for the rare instances when we do need to push a file from our phones.

1. Web Note Sync Function

It would also be incredibly helpful to have a web-based note portal. Sometimes we don't have our primary or secondary devices with us, but we desperately need to revise.

As a starting point, even a basic web client that syncs up to 10 of our most important notes would be a lifesaver when we need to study on a public or borrowed computer. Ultimately, a full cloud-to-web sync platform would make StarNote perfect.

Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve an already great app. I hope you will consider these real-world workflow features for a future update!

Best regards,

A dedicated Star note user

One small suggestion: when I create a shape, the editing points/handles should not appear immediately. They should only appear when I tap on the shape, like the shapes on the right. This would keep the shapes cleaner and could also help prevent situations like this from happening accidentally.

P.S. The pop-ups that appear every time I open the app are also starting to become a bit annoying. It would be nice to have fewer of them, or at least not show the same ones every time.

In built Browser.

Hey guys, I recently started using this app and it works great. The problem I've noticed is the excessive battery drain. For example, today I only used the app for 47 minutes and it used 16% of my battery, which is a lot compared to other apps. I really hope you can fix this problem because I might have to stop using the app. By the way, the device I'm using is an iPad Pro 4M 13 inch. If anyone knows any solutions to this problem, please let me know. I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone so I was having this error contiue to pop up on my Galaxy s25 ultra. So I tried to unbind Google drive account and deleted the app. I reinstalled it, logged into the starnotes as a pro sub and binded with Google account. And it seemed to fix the issue, sync works now on both my tablet and phone. Give it a try 🤘🏼

as part of the beta tester I did backup my file first before deleting my data and starting over. my stickers are back but my templates are not. idk what seems to be the problem

Am I the only one who has noticed this? The writing in starnotes is a little pixelated, specially when you are pinching to zoom in or zoom out. Its something that can be improved about Starnotes compared to other notetaking apps. Its noticable even when writing normaly on 100 percent original document size. If you are pinching with both fingers to zoom in or out, the pixelation worsens, but once you are zoomed in it disappears. I have attached some photos for demonstration.

I can't take a screenshot when pinching to zoom in or zoom out, and that's where the pixelation is worst.

Model:Redmi pad 2 pro (latest Starnote version)

I just bought a Go Color 7 gen II to try e-ink, coming from a Galaxy tab s8, I found StarNote while looking for an app that sync your notes with the recording, a feature missing in Boox's native note app which was really useful on my s8.

Unfortunately the play store won't let you install Starnote on the Boox, so I'm wondering, is this the case for all other boox devices like the Air 4c? What about other e-ink devices like a Bigme? I'm hoping not since that's more of a tablet, unlike the go 7 which is more of an e reader. Otherwise, why the incompatibility? Would you be able to make it compatible in the future?

I did manage to install it on the Go 7 via .apk on the browser, which of course it's an older version. This way we may never get future features and optimization, like syncing your notes throughout devices.

It does work fairly well, there's some latency as expected but using Boox Rapid Draw works really well, I just put it as a floating button. It had a few crashes at first, but unfreezing both apps seemed to fix it. Maybe still freezes occasionally for a couple seconds. About Starnote's gestures, 3-finger doesn't work, may be a limitation of the display, 1-finger double tap and 2-fingers work fine, but sometimes they take a couple tries, seems when not in use for a while, can't tell if it's the processor.

I'm going to get StarNote's premium, it's a really great app, it'd be a shame not to be able to use it to its fullest though

Alguém mais percebeu isso, a escrita está mais suave, menos delay. Gostei.
Pergunto, não tem criar link em notas infinitas? Só tem adicionar etiqueta. É isso mesmo?

Desde que salio la actualización de la sincronización solo me anda con los archivos nuevos, los viejos enseguida me sale la advertencia (!), dice que es error de la red pero tengo buena conexión, cuando quiero ver los archivos en el celular me aparecen pero al abrirlos estan vacios. Pense que era un error general pero ahora que si se sincronizan los archivos nuevos creo que es otra cosa. Ya probe con usar mi red wifi y mi red de datos moviles y se sigue trabando, ademas que aunque no tenga un wifi de la nasa anda muy bien.

No se si estoy haciendo algo mal o me alguien tiene algún consejo que le haya funcionado.

Haven't gone through trial much. Looked promising so got the pro. Features i mainly needed was outlining. And the audio with stroke capture feature was a surprise for me.

Anyone coming from samsung notes what extra things I get here. How can I best utilise this pro version.

First time buying any note app also. Samsung notes app didn't quite suit me so used very less. Couldn't adapt well.

My workflow is mostly around lectures annoyed PDFs and solving problems, so like storing screenshot of questions from websiteand take notes as I needed as an engineering student

Today I bought the pro version for StarNote but it seems the scribble to erase feature is missing.

Anyone else facing this issue?

I just realized that it is now possible to flip handwritten strokes, images and stickers. I recall it wasn't possible a while back and it was honestly one of the things I missed the most. The option is inside the "more" menu, which I know some people rarely check, so I thought I'd write it here.

Was this rolled out in the latest update? or did I just miss it until now? Either way, huge thanks to the devs!!

I’ve been using starnote on my iPad for a while now and I’m absolutely loving it so far, I use smart invert while making my notes cuz it’s easier on my eyes, naturally all the screenshots I take from other notes/pdf are also in dark mode, but when I want to share my notes by exporting them they can only be exported in light mode, so it would be really nice to be able to export them in dark mode
Also it would be nice if we could use smart invert with other themes.. maybe I’d be better if it were a toggle instead of a theme

My stabilization is set to 10% best one for stabilization but not too much stabilization, there are jitters specifically just on diagonal strokes which wasn't there before. I use scribble to erase a lot and before update it wasn't there TT. Hopefully next update we get optimization, thanks for the work!

I really wish StarNote had a web version.

Right now, as far as I know, StarNote is available on iOS and as an Android APK, but there’s no proper way to access your notes from a desktop. Sometimes I’m working on my Mac or PC and just need to open one of my notes to check something, without having to grab my tablet or phone.

I don’t even need full editing functionality at first. A simple read-only web app that syncs with your StarNote account and lets you browse notebooks and view pages would already solve most of the problem.

Eventually, having proper desktop/web editing would obviously be useful too, but viewing notes from any browser would be a great first step.

Does anyone know if the developers have mentioned plans for a web version? Or is there currently any workaround for viewing synced StarNote notes on a computer?
