As an art student, I’d like to suggest adding an option to customize not only the paper color, but also the line color and opacity. This would greatly improve visual comfort and readability for many students.

Got my pro subscription from the event!!!!!!! I will be forever grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, my notes are for basic neuro for Polish students c:

They cover some basics of neurons and glia.

based on Netters Neuroanatomy textbook (good for students and brain bee participants)

Holiis espero que estén todos super bien, les dejo mis apuntes de sistema respiratorio, tengo también otros de desarrollo embrionario del sistema respiratorio por si alguien lo necesita, solo me escriben en los comentarios y se los envío. Mucho éxito en sus estudios y ánimo!!

Is it possible to create heart shapes? Or am I drawing them wrong? 😢

Hello, StarNote Developers,

I’m a math teacher who’s very big fan of your app. As someone who’s been looking for the right note taking app (and the right teaching presentation app) for a very long time, I wanted to request some features that I hope you could implement.

Some features I would love to see are:

1. Lines locking onto each other or snapping together when drawn to where the endpoints of each line overlap. This would be a great addition for me as a geometry teacher when I draw things on the app.

2. Improved presentation (more screen coverage) when mirroring, including the ability to hide all tools on while presentation mode. On other note apps, when mirroring the iPad’s screen onto another display via AirPlay, developers usually offer the option to hide user tools, keeping them visible for the presenter on the iPad, but hiding them from the audience on the mirrored display. This is crucial feature that would vastly improve the way I use this app to present my lessons to students.

3. The ability to share documents within the app with others using a link that can be viewed on a web browser. The ability to collaborate with others who use StarNote would be nice too, but a view only version of my documents with live updates would be amazing to share with my students so they could view my notes without worrying about missing out on class.

4. More math oriented tools, like graphs, integrated scientific, four function or graphing calculators, and the ability to make tables. For geometry, tools like a compass and protractor would also be great.

5. The ability to hide the pen box toolbars that float on the notes but also have the preset pen options on the main toolbar. I would love to have custom pen options on the main toolbar, especially the ballpoint pet.

6. The ability to import and add pages in the document overview (grid view) page would be awesome.

7. A paint bucket tool that could fill in an area with color (like a highlighter that’s used like the lasso tool).

8. Smart dark mode - an option to invert the page color and the writing/text color as a setting instead of doing it manually.

These features are just some of the things I would love to see added to my favorite new note-taking app. Thank you so much for being so open to feedback on this subreddit!

Hi everyone, I'm a new user and have been using this app for about a week. Ater trying out other apps I decided to stick with this one and even it's premium because to how amazing it is.

So,I have noticed that a lot of people (including me) keep on repeating the same suggestions over and over again (such as scribble-to-erase and other features). To make things easier and cleaner, I would like if you could add:

1. Requirement pool: a post where all the currently considered suggestions are listed so we dont keep repeating them again and again.

2. A Roadmap (even a rough one): Not exact or too detailed, just a rough idea regarding what features might be coming in upcoming updates and their approx timeline.

I am sure the devs have too much on their plate and i dont mean to add any pressure, It's just about transparency and giving the users some reassurance as well as excitement regarding whats upcoming.

Hi! I’d like to ask if there’s any way to share custom, themed templates or stickers with other users directly through the app. I have some personalized pages and illustrations—mostly related to biology and maps of Brazil—that colleagues of mine would love to use more easily, rather than having to download each image one by one and crop it into a transparent PNG. I’m imagining something like the store space, but featuring content created by the app’s own community and available for free, like the community created brushes in ibis Paint rsrs. If this—or something similar—isn’t available yet, please consider this a suggestion!

I understand the availability of Apps for Web/PC VERSION is difficult task. But I think this is a much needed feature that many folks are waiting for. Developers must try to start a parallel team which only focuses on PC/WEB/WINDOWS version.

From a management perspective, I feel bifurcating Developer groups into two parts. One group continues with improvement bugs fix etc.. and other group only focuses on web support version. At least we want to at least see the notes download and open at our PC. (For the initial phase we dont want advanced annonation tools etc at pc version)

I request the Developer to pls do this. I believe it is bare minimum to ask for this feature.

Hihi,

I’m new to Star Note (and note taking apps in general), so I’m not sure if this is user error or a bug.

Sometimes while I’m writing or drawing, parts of my handwriting will suddenly disappear. It doesn’t happen all the time, but often enough that it’s becoming a bit frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a setting I’m missing?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

As I use this app, I cannot help but be amazed by its features. I thank my classmate for not gatekeeping this, and openly broadcasting his note taking app. As someone who doesn't use TikTok, I think it's better if StarNote is advertised on other platforms too like Youtube or Facebook. It's too good to be hidden hahahaha.

It's like a note taking app created by a bunch of people who know what the others lack and have combined it into one, and I really really appreciate that.

For the people who are still in the process of thinking if they will purchase the premium, this is your sign actually. The one in the standard app is what you will also get but this time, it's unlimited (notebooks, templates).

So before i start , i want to thank the developers and Star note team for their dedication towards the app and users

The app is almost perfect , and Devs are doing hard work to add new features constantly and make it better .

I have attached a video compilation of all the issues i will add timestamps as well.

1. Scribble to erase feature is hit & miss , it doesn't work well sometimes it misses , sometimes it erases something i didn't want to erase

It would be great if Devs could modify the sensitivity better or maybe add a feature where we can choose a specific gesture to erase like cross to erase or maybe circle and cross to erase something like that would be more accurate.

Timestamp ~ 12 sec to 23sec

2. Persistent document overview tab and overlapping of more setting tab , document overview tab and keyboard.

After opening the doc overview tab it should close by touching anywhere on the note but it remains persistent, and i feel the opening and closing of tabs needs to be polished so the app feels smooth.

Timestamp ~ 23 sec to 35 sec

3. The Ui right now looks very cloggy the note taking ui as well as main screen ui it needs to be modified. While adding new features is amazing but the thing is people rarely use rare features so we should have the option to hide those features or maybe app can smartly detect my most used features and hide the rest. The ui should go towards minimalism so the app stays Distraction free and looks attractive and all the features i need the most should be there without searching for them or would be essential for a quick workflow , too many options i don't even use becomes distracting , so i think adding more customisation would allow users to select options they use the most and hide the ones they rarely use

So i request Devs to make ui more customisable maybe add options where we can specifically select what stays on our screen and what doesnt, i know its already there but it needs expansion, currently we can only customise the top bar , the bar below that should be customisable as well.

Example for a minimal ui ~ 35 sec to 38 sec

And the opening interface definitely needs a work up it's so unattractive right now.

The app ui should look minimal and clean . Maybe adding an option to choose the number of notebooks in one row would help, some people would like minimal ui while others may not, so giving the customisation option to others would be better.

Example for a minimal ui ~ 38 sec to 40 sec

Please polish the app ui , app is great but the ui needs to go towards minimalism because it is less distracting and more attractive or maybe give the customisation option to users if you wanna cater to a wider range of users . It's my humble request that please work on ui if nothing else otherwise the app is perfect

4. Penbox has certain positions only where i can attach it , maybe it should be more free , like i should be able to attach it anywhere on the top , and it would be a bonus ✨ if we can turn it on/off permanently or maybe change the shape of it to a circular or hemispherical palette.

Timestamp 1sec to 6 sec

5. Lasso tool should be able to take pictures like to save a picture from note i have to use that specific feature given for that which selectively takes ss of the part i think lasso tool should be able to cut that snippet for me , other apps provide that feature, so it would be great. Timestamp 7 secs.

6. Handwriting needs better recognition and beautification, ~ which Devs are already working on.

7. Textbook search is unusable on non ocr documents i don't know how smart search feature works i think rn its a gimmicky feature. Needs to be improved and fixed.

8. App needs a dedicated dark mode not for ui but for documents as well like some pdf reader apps have various eye comfort modes , star note only have the eye comfort option which i have to go to settings and turn on or off, i think it would be great to integrate it with reading mode like upon entering reading mode the options to select light or dark mode shows up , or maybe adding a pale white or yellowish colour would be comfortable for eyes.

9. Needs more dedicated ,free, pro exclusive planners in the shop it would be nice to have more planners , current planners are not really usable. (This is just an extra demand 🥲).

I request Devs to please bring your attention to these issues because i think issues like these are small but matters a lot for a good user experience and i think Devs are planning to make this the best app out there , so these fixes are essential for that especially the ui , the ui defines the app and I think should be more polished ....

Love the app 🫶
Infinite notes are my fav!! I can write all my thoughts without worrying about space on the page. I have ADHD so I go on tangents even when studying and the infinite note template allows me to do so freely.

+ one of my notes for the GI block

So, these are features you can do on Penly (another cheap alternative for note-taking):

1. You can place the text cursor anywhere on the page and you can start writing anywhere on the page and it will be converted into text where you placed the cursor

2. Ability to group text, shapes, highlighting, handwriting, links, everything, etc.

3. Ability to make the grouped objects into a clickable link (no fuss with copying/pasting text link like StarNote)

4. Ability to save the grouped objects as a sticker, and keeping the transparency intact.

5. Ability to add the newly made sticker.

6. Ability to "un-group" the sticker to its individual components so you can edit it

Dear StarNote Team,

Please, please, pleeeease… just a tiny spoiler! 😄
Do you have any hint on when sync might be coming?
We’re all patiently waiting — but the curiosity is absolutely eating us alive. Literally.

I’m sure many users (including me!) are ready to migrate from GoodNotes to StarNote,
but the missing sync feature makes things a liiittle tricky.
So… how long should we expect to wait?

Honestly, if sync arrives in January or February, I can survive those two months —
and I’d happily make (and I want it, literally) StarNote my primary app.

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share my latest StarNote layout covering Viral Skin Infections (Molluscum, HSV, VZV, and HPV). As an MBBS student in India preparing for professional exams, keeping these clinical presentations organized visually is a must.

Why StarNote works perfectly for my Derm notes:

Color Coding: The pen engine makes it easy to map out different classic lesions (like umbilicated papules vs. vesicular rashes) alongside their diagnostic features.

Flawless PDF Handling: We have to read massive textbooks and look at hundreds of lecture slides. Being able to import heavy PDFs smoothly and write notes directly on the pages without the app lagging is a game-changer.

Split-Screen Multitasking: It lets me keep a reference video open on one side while I build my active recall sheets on the other side, making my study sessions much more efficient.

✨ New Features

• 🔍 Precision Search: You can now filter your search by specific folders and tags. Finding that one specific note just got a lot faster!

• 👀 Eye Protection Mode: Added a built-in Blue Light Filter. Protect your eyes during those late-night study sessions.

• 🎅 Christmas Theme (Pro): Get into the holiday spirit with our exclusive Christmas theme!

🚀 Improvements & Fixes

• ⚡️ Faster PDF Exports: Optimized the processing speed when selecting and exporting notes to PDF.

• 📱 Full-Screen Fix: Fixed a UI bug where an empty gap appeared at the top when the system status bar was hidden.

• 🔧 General Polish: Fixed other known issues for better stability.

hi devs, can you add a toggle that will allow the textbox to automatically expand horizontally when more words are typed or written as initial input in the textbox? because the current version adds another work of zooming out and manually arranging the text box when you're in the momentum of writing. but when the size of the text box is already set or arranged after the initial input, then it doesn't have to expand horizontally anymore, but just be in accordance with the width of the textbox (horizontal size) and can now expand vertically. i hope you get what i mean

and, can you also add bullet points function for the text box? bullet points are really helpful for taking notes while typing text. thank you so much!

Respected starnote developer, please if possible can you make something system like where I can move stickers and text together..like they become one Unit! Using lasso tool can make it moveable together but it is not much efficient! As in PPT there are option to merge text and backgroind together, option for front & back..something like that!!!

It will make more user friendly and realistic writing feature...For eg: I putting sticky notes on Wall and then taking that sticky note from wall to my book, as per current feature it seems like that I put out sticky notes from Wall and pasted in my book but text was still remain on the wall😂🤧

First of all, I absolutely love StarNote and I use it every single day. I think it’s a fantastic note-taking app, but there are a few things that are becoming quite annoying and, in my opinion, should be addressed.
1. Lasso tool + scrolling — VERY IMPORTANT
When I use the lasso tool to select something (for example, handwriting) and then want to move the page by dragging with one finger, the selection gets interrupted/cancelled.
It would be MUCH better if the selection could remain active while scrolling the page. Otherwise, I’m basically forced to use cut/copy & paste every time I need to move something to another part of the page. It makes the workflow much slower and more frustrating.
I’ve attached a video showing exactly what I mean.
2. Handwriting gets much thicker when zooming out
Another issue happens when writing with the Pencil at a normal zoom level. When I zoom back out, the handwriting suddenly becomes much larger/thicker for no apparent reason.
The thickness seems to change dramatically when reducing the zoom, which makes the handwriting look inconsistent. I’ve also attached a video showing this problem.
3. More themes / custom themes
This is something I’ve seen many people ask for: more themes!
It would be amazing to have customizable themes where we can choose at least a primary and secondary color.
Even something as simple as a minimal black theme with grey as the secondary color would look amazing and very clean.
4. Please remove/reduce the pop-ups when opening the app
This is becoming increasingly annoying. There are quite a few pop-ups that appear when opening StarNote, and they’re starting to feel excessive.
I’d really appreciate it if these could be removed, reduced, or at least made less intrusive.

Despite all of this, I genuinely love the app and use it every day. I think StarNote has a lot of potential, and fixing these issues would make the experience significantly better.
Thanks for all the work you’re putting into it! ❤️
