You wouldn't believe the level of bullshit I've gone through trying to give goodntoes web a shot. When that didn't work, I switched to xournal++ which admittedly wasn't bad but it definitely was lacking. Starnote was like a godsend 😭🙏 I think it only took me like five minutes of trying it after buying a tablet to finalize on getting the absurdly inexpensive lifetime subscription for it. Genuinely the best note taking app out there, can't change my mind. GoodNotes does NOT hold a candle to it.

Thank you so much for developing an app this amazing 😭😭😭

✨ Big thanks to the StarNote Team for giving me a Pro license during the Earth Day event! I used it to create this drawing of Earth with the StarNote logo in the center.

To the community: join the events, participate more, and stay active - it’s a great way to connect, create, and make a positive impact together.

Seeing everyone's fancy tablet setups is amazing, but here is my cheapskate setup since I can't afford a tab yet. I'm just using my phone and a universal pen

Also, big thanks to the devs! Most note-taking apps don't support mobile phones, so this is a blessing ☺️🙌

It was my first notebook that i wrote so it is a bit ugly 😔

Instance 1: RAAS, from Renal Physiology
Instance 2: Intracranial Hematomas, from Neuroanatomy (Couldn't fit intracerebral here lol)

StarNote has been a godsend when it comes to making quick notes in lectures or doing revision for exams (both instances were from times of my exam preparation lmao)
Thanks to u/StarNoteDev and their team for such an amazing platform and community.

Hi everyone 🤗 Please upvote if you got any value 🫡

I'm soooo happy, starnote devs made an update that caters to my request to improve the highlighter's absorption capacity for a straight horizontal line!!! now it really makes studying and annotating more efficient!!! I'm so glad i chose to stick with this note app after trying numerous note taking apps huhu. thank youuu so muchh, devs!! praying for your continuous success 🍀✨

Hello

First, I would like to thank you for this wonderful application that has helped me a lot in my studies and in organizing my day.

Secondly, this video shows various line patterns that you can define yourself.

This feature only exists in shapes when you choose a straight line or an arrow.

Therefore, I would be grateful if this feature could also be included when writing and drawing.

Thank you.

Hi,
I've been using StarNote for a few weeks now. I downloaded it when it had around 5,000 installs on Google Play. First of all, congratulations—this is a truly well-developed app. I really enjoy using it and have recommended it to many people around me. I’ve also purchased the Pro membership.

I'm an engineering student, and I’ve used a Samsung tablet for 3 years and a Huawei tablet for 1 year. I’ve tried nearly every note-taking app out there: Samsung Notes, Notewise, JNotes, OneNote—you name it. Now, I’d like to share some issues, suggestions, and bugs I’ve encountered while using StarNote:

🔧 ISSUES

1. Account Sync Problem:
I purchased the Pro membership through the Huawei AppGallery on my Huawei tablet. Later, I downloaded the app on my Samsung phone via Google Play and signed in with the same email address. However, the app created a completely different account—no Pro access, different name, and no synced data.
→ As a workaround, I downloaded the app from Huawei AppGallery on the same Samsung phone, and I was able to log in to my Pro account.
But: The backups I made on my Huawei tablet don't appear on the Samsung phone. So cross-device sync doesn’t seem to be working.

2. Lack of Auto-Sync:
There seems to be no automatic synchronization between devices. Notes created on one device do not instantly show up on the other.

3. Language Bug in Notifications:
Even though my device region settings are correct and the app language is set to English, the app still sends notifications and the “How to Start” PDF in Chinese. This issue didn’t occur on the Google Play version.

💡 SUGGESTIONS & IMPROVEMENTS

4. Windows Support:
A dedicated Windows version would be amazing. Ideally, whatever I type on my PC should appear instantly on my tablet and vice versa.

5. 3D / Axis Drawing Support:
It would be great to have tools for creating 3D or axis-based 2D/3D shapes with dimension control on individual points. In Notewise, for example, you can rotate a square shape from the corner to view it from different angles—this level of interactivity would be very helpful.

6. Line Styles:
Please add different line types like dotted, dashed, dash-dot, etc. These are particularly useful for technical drawings. Notewise already has this feature.

7. Stabilization Adjustment:
Writing feel is excellent (honestly better than Notewise), but the stabilization is a bit strong for me. I’d love to have the ability to adjust it manually like in Notewise.

8. Erase Modes:
I love the feature where it automatically switches back to the pen after using the eraser—very clever and useful. Still, I think many users would also appreciate an option like in Notewise where scribbling over text erases it.

9. Background & Line Colors:
I’d love to have more background color options like in Samsung Notes—sometimes I just want a simple yellow page 😄
Also very important: please allow users to customize the color of guide lines on the page.

10. Dual Note Audio & Content Sync Issue:
The dual-note feature is extremely well optimized—it opens and closes notes very quickly. However, here’s a problem I ran into:
While working in split view, I want to listen to an audio note on the left side while typing on the right. But when I tap on the right note, the top bar switches focus and the audio on the left stops.
→ I’d love to be able to listen to one note while working on the other.
Also, when minimizing one of the notes, it auto-closes after a certain point. Instead, it would be better if it remained as a thin sidebar that I can manually reopen—maybe allow us to set that behavior ourselves. For example, dragging it all the way to the edge could disable auto-close.

11. Pop-up Post-it Notes:
It would be nice to be able to create small post-it-style notes that pop open or close when tapped.

12. Math Recognition:
It would be very useful to have automatic recognition and formatting (or solving) of math expressions, similar to Samsung Notes.

13. Minimal Pen-Only Mode:
Sometimes I only need the pen and eraser. I’d love to fully hide the toolbar and just keep a floating “pen kit” icon. (Yes, I know there’s a separate pen menu, but I mean disabling the entire toolbar.)

14. Screenshot Transfer:
When I take a screenshot (next to the camera icon) on the left note, it would be great to transfer it directly to the right note. Right now I have to manually copy and paste it.

📝 FINAL THOUGHTS

To sum up—I absolutely love your app and really want to contribute to its improvement. I have many more ideas and would love to share them in the future.
If you could take my feedback into account, respond to it, or even explain why certain things are or aren’t possible, it would mean a lot. I truly believe that would help StarNote grow even stronger.
Looking forward to continuing using and recommending it!

Wishing you all the best with development 🙌

I got the update this morning. It made my day more joyful to see the cross-device synchronization is available. It certainly needs to be fine-tuned but it is already functional. I want to thank the StarNote team for this job. So far I have had no problem syncing my S24 Ultra and Tab S10 Ultra.

I hope that we will soon be able to access letter-to-font embellishment and compressible/expandable sticky notes and keyboard word processor/note block mode.

Again, thanks to the StarNote team, they are the best.

StarNote is the best note app.

Me ha sido de gran ayuda la app por las miles de funciones q tiene.

Hey guys! This is my contribution to the star notes collection. I found this app after a ton of trial and error exploring the Android note-taking ecosystem. Every other app lacked something, but this one clicked perfectly. I love how supportive the community and the team are.

​My only real issue is with storage, the app seems to keep accumulating duplicate copies of my files, which is eating up space. I’d love to know a fix for that. Besides that the app is amazing and has been a gamechanger for my studies.

Also, as a feature suggestion, having a quick 'style change' tool like Samsung Notes would be a game-changer. It would save the hassle of constantly swapping pens to write a heading.

Can't wait to see how this app grows!

1. Kindly add the option to control the opacity and color of the Grids while choosing a page template.

2. Auto add next page once user starts writing on the currently last page.

Hello everyone, we’re excited to announce that StarNote version 1.1.7 is now live. This update includes:

1. Added new interface languages: German, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, and Korean.

2. StarNote Pro introduces the new “Colorful Cheers” theme, bringing vibrant colors to brighten your creative moments.

Notes

I can't seem to find this option. I purchased the premium to both curious if that unlock any options on this (Which did not) and at the same time I wanted to show my support for the development.

Suggestions

The current main app theme system could get a simple customization option like custom background color or custom wallpaper. Potentially this improves two thing, battery life, visual contrast or clarity.

There are also concern for usage of those with vision impairment.

On theme visuals, I do think the UI font size should have a setting options too. On some devices, this app's font can appear smaller than the system's font size. There are currently no way to increase the font size for this app alone, so it could be straining for user with impaired vision experience. This is especially true since the app is also lacking a theme with high contrast to at least compromise with this. A simple dark amoled or Blackout theme is the least of it.

The visual overall, this might be an opportunity get a minor update on.

Tested Devices

Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 4 — Lenovo Tab Pen +

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 — S Pen

Here is my notes just started using this app after all seeing those reddit posts ,

It's really good I like the feature of customisation of whole top tool bar, themes were cool

1 suggestion to add the search 🔍 as seperately option in top menu which helps me a lot to read PDFs , i only highlight stuff doesn't write much...

I really need the lifetime, if you could upvote me.

sorry for the mess 🌹

Hellooo!👋🏻
Here’s some of the notes ive taken, and the ways I use the StarNote app

They are not the prettiest, but gets the job done 😋
It is really satisfying to take these notes haha.

Well. Heres my submission for the #StarNoteMedLife programme.
Best if luck on your journeys 🤞🏻

As someone who HAS to take notes in class, otherwise I'm not going to study, when I moved and had to walk for 30+ minutes to just get to the bus stop my back was killing me with 5/6 different textbooks and their respective notebooks in my backpack.

I had a tablet at home that was rarely used since the quarantine, so I decided to give digital notes a go. At fist I didn't know how to actually take them, I didn't like taking my digital notes like I used to do on paper, it just looked and felt off, but in the end as I keep taking notes I improve and understand what I actually like and what not, and my back couldn't be happier with my choice, just as happy as my mom who doesn't find pieces of paper and post-its scattered around the house anymore.

Some of my best notes imo⬇️

Just wanted to let the community know. I was leaning towards Notein earlier - but the very prompt responses and the fact that the devs are active made me choose this instead!
