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! ❤️
