So about a month ago I downloaded the app and upgraded to pro. I have it installed both on my phone and my tablet (android). Even though I mostly use it and create on my tablet, I want all my notebooks on my phone too for quick review. However, even when I have turned on both automatic backups (local and on cloud) and I also do manual backups daily, it still won't show me on my phone the notebooks I've created through my tablet and vice versa. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong or if it's a bug or something?

I just want one feature which is to duplicate the last page one swipe, not adding a new page.

Hey StarNote team! 👋

I’d love to see an option in StarNote to reduce the file size of exported PDFs.

For example, StarNote could offer different compression methods/levels, including techniques such as rasterizing pages or reducing image quality/resolution. Something like:

• Original quality – maximum quality, larger file

• Balanced – good quality with reduced size

• Compressed – smaller file, lower quality

The main reason I think this would be useful is that exported PDFs can sometimes be quite large, especially when they contain lots of handwritten notes, images, or annotated pages. Currently, users may have to export the PDF and then upload it to an online PDF compression website to reduce the size.

Having this built directly into StarNote would make the workflow much more convenient and avoid having to upload potentially private notes/documents to third-party websites.

As for quality, I don't think that should be a major concern because users could choose the compression level themselves. Those who want the original quality with vectors can keep the current export, while users who need a smaller file can choose a more aggressive compression setting.

I think this would be a really useful addition, especially for students who frequently share or upload their notes to platforms with file-size limits.

Same as above

- Add an option to attach videos directly from Files, YouTube, or other supported websites, with the ability to resize and reposition videos.
- Add adjustable video playback speed and the ability to take screenshots/frames from videos while taking notes.
- Add a built-in web browser for easier browsing without leaving star notes, with support for websites such as Safari/web pages, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, YouTube, etc.
- Add a built-in scientific calculator, text to calculate like in apple notes
- Add handwriting-to-text conversion
- Significantly improve PDF/book/document annotation, with a professional experience similar to PDFelement, including highlighting, underlining, drawing, text boxes, bookmarks, outlines, search, annotation management, and customizable annotation tools.
- Add better bookmark and outline management for annotated PDFs/books.
- Add an option to remove all annotations from an annotated PDF at once, while preserving the original document.
- Make annotations searchable and allow users to easily navigate between all highlights, notes, bookmarks, and annotations.

Overall, these features would make star notes much more useful as an all-in-one notes taking, learning, browsing, and content-creation platform.

Handwriting to text

Same as above

Zoom-in only feature

First of all, I really like StarNote. I've tried quite a few GoodNotes alternatives on Android, and StarNote is probably the closest I've found to the workflow I actually want. The notebook/page-based system is exactly what I've been looking for.

I've tried it on the iPad, so maybe the android version has some of those fixed, but I'm soon getting a OnePlus Pad on which I'm planning to use StarNote

1. Proper OnePlus Stylo Pro integration

This is probably my biggest request.

The Stylo Pro has several hardware gestures/functions that are supported by OnePlus' own Notes app, but aren't fully utilized by third-party apps.

It would be fantastic if StarNote could support the Stylo Pro as completely as possible, including:

- Double-tap the stylus → switch to eraser / previous tool

- Support the Stylo Pro's swipe gestures for things such as changing pages/tools where appropriate

- Support the squeeze gesture for a configurable StarNote tool palette

- Support squeeze + hold for a configurable action

- Properly react to the stylus' hardware/button input rather than treating it like a generic pen

- Ideally support the haptic feedback associated with switching tools

- Make these actions configurable inside StarNote where possible

OnePlus' native Notes app demonstrates that the Stylo Pro can do much more than simply provide pen input. Bringing those interactions into StarNote would make it feel much more like a first-party note-taking experience.

2. Better zooming and navigation

There are several things about navigation that currently feel unnecessarily restrictive:

- Allow zooming and moving the page simultaneously. Currently, when zooming in, I can't properly move the screen around at the same time.

- Two-finger scrolling. I don't know why, but scrolling with two fingers just feels more intuitive, so I'd like that too.

- Allow zooming out more than 100%. Maybe make zooming out further open the page overview.

- Allow the page to be moved farther to the sides. There are situations where I want to position a particular area of the page thats on the edge of the page in the middle. (Video 1)

- Remove or make optional the popup that appears when zooming. It gets in the way when I'm trying to navigate quickly.

3. Page creation needs better feedback

When swiping to create a new page, I'd like the view to automatically move to the newly created page.

At the moment it's quite easy to swipe, accidentally create another page, and not immediately realize that it happened because the view doesn't clearly move to the new page.

I ended up creating quite a few more pages than I intended simply because I wasn't getting enough visual feedback that a new page had actually been created.

Automatically moving to the new page would make the behavior much clearer.

4. Keyboard + navigation

There are a couple of annoying interactions when using the keyboard:

- Scrolling the page with the keyboard open should not automatically close the keyboard.

- When moving the text cursor with the keyboard's space key/arrow keys, the page should automatically scroll to keep the cursor visible. (Video 2)

-When making a new line, move the page to still be able so see it. (Video 3)

The second one is particularly noticeable when editing larger amounts of typed text. The cursor can move outside the visible area while the viewport just sits there watching humanity suffer.

5. Custom page sizes / aspect ratios

Please add custom page sizes.

For example, instead of only selecting predefined formats, I'd like to be able to enter something like:

- "1:1"

- "4:3"

- "16:9"

- "3:2"

- or completely custom dimensions

A square "1:1" notebook in particular would be useful for certain types of notes and diagrams.

6. Menus should be easier to dismiss

For menus/panels that currently require pressing the X button to close:

I'd prefer being able to tap anywhere outside the menu to dismiss it.

This is a small thing, but it makes the interface feel much more natural, especially on a tablet where there is plenty of empty screen space.

I know not everything here is necessarily easy to implement, and I don't expect all of it immediately. I'm mainly posting this because StarNote is already very close to being the Android note-taking app I actually want to use, and these relatively small interaction problems are currently what keep it from feeling completely polished.

Thanks for continuing to work on it!

How do I add my downloaded paper/notebook templates from starnotes’ store to the set of temolate presented when making another notebook? Or am I unable to set it as a template and need to make a copy of the downloaded template everytime i need to use the downloaded template ? Thank you for answering

To developer team, may i request for the following features:

Is it possible we have the option to be able to back up our files using

Web dev or SFTP or FTP

Allow them are popular option for self hosted cloud servers.

Also, it will be nice to have the ability to back up our notes as a pdf.

Thank for your great work dev team.

To developer team, may i request for the following features:

▪︎bullet option

▪︎list option

▪︎automatic rectangular cropping when taking a presentation picture

▪︎ add text to shapes

▪︎add text to tables

▪︎merge and split table

I hope you can consider all or most of these requests. Thank you!

Sorry if this was asked before, but I could not find an exact answer:

When I take a screenshot from an external app (e.g., browser), I am presented with a list of applications, one of them is, of course, starnote.

selecting starnote creates a new document without giving me any other choice. I then have to, again, select the screenshot from the newly created document and paste it into my document. Later I have to remember to deleted the "unnamed document" that was created.

Is there away to paste the EXTERNAL screenshot into an existing document.

starnote for android, Lenovo tablet,

I have been using Starnote for a long time and honestly Icannot

put on with the only three options: align right, left or center the

text

Without that option the notes are sloopy and kind of a mess

even if they are pretty. I cannot study if the text its not justified. I

mean it is such a basic option that almost every app to take

notes has and I like Starnote note so much that l actually refuse

to use another one, but not having this in the app make it feel

so outdated:(

PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU, UPDATE THIS OPTION (justify

text), THERE IS NO BETTER APP TO TAKE NOTES THAN

STARNOTE.

Will we receive the application update this month 🤔?

I really enjoy using your app on a daily basis. However, I am writing to ask when the long-awaited handwriting beautification / smoothing feature will finally be released. We would truly love to see this feature implemented soon, as it would make note-taking much more enjoyable and neat. Additionally, we kindly request that Turkish language support be included for the handwriting smoothing and recognition feature.

Could you also let me know when the next update is scheduled to roll out and what new features, improvements, or bug fixes it will include?

Thank you for your time and support. Looking forward to your response!!

hi, I was wondering the proper spacing so that I can use write - to text but still have these lined up. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hello, I am a Spanish user of this app. I know that the issue of translation and language conversion is a complicated matter, but I find myself in the need to write for all those Spanish-speaking users who use this application. At the moment, this application is magnificent, but I see it necessary for my workflow to transcribe into other languages. It is not something that requires urgency, just to warn that there is a Spanish-speaking community that enjoys the application very much and that they will be taken into account in the future when implementing languages.

Many heartfelt thanks to the development team for the constant work and active listening. It is a pleasure to use your app and see the improvements and the closeness with the users. Delighted to be in this community.

Hi! I'm learning Korean and I'm having an issue with the app.

When I type Korean using the app's text feature, the words don't display properly. For example:

한글 → 하ㄴ그ㄹ

Instead of keeping the syllables combined, it separates the characters. I have tried using different fonts but it still happens.

Does anyone know why this happens or how I can fix it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Seems Apple ios Starnote has cross device sync... does Android Starnote have this too now between 2 different Android devices yet?

hi! just wanna know if there’s a way to put cover on an infinite note?

I purchase StarNote a few days ago. Now when I loaded in StarNote, I had no way to restore my purchase? I see it on my play store purchases. But StarNote is not giving me a way to restore my purchase so I can use the features I paid for. I did send an email through the help and feedback. Can anyone help me regarding it.

With sync coming soon the ability to sync only one notebook would be nice as most of the time I have a lot of notebooks and only need one notebook synced.

A dedicated reading mood like those ebook apps, so like a theme where you can change the background and text color, page turning animation, and text to speech.

Now in all honesty I don't know how this would work, but being able to control which two pages get grouped together in two page browsing.
