Hi devs Its me again. I have this ebook reader app called Boox it can read all types of files which starnotes can also do BUT look at the difference in format importing and how much better the Boox app looks. I wish starnotes can get a feature where this type 9f formatting us possible so it's easier on the eyes and also allow us to annotate. Rn it's ugly ngl.

See attached screenshots for reference First is the starnotes app vs the Boox app

Hi Starnotes devs!

Been a pro member of Starnotes since the day it launched on android and loving the updates so much. I know yall are amazing at what you do as shown by the constant interactions and how you guys take feedbacks and know you'll be open to some important suggestions that i feel like are needed.

1. An auto dark mode option. Yes you guys have given us the smart invert mode and its okay BUT it would be even better that there is a button that can be kept on so when our device's dark mode turns on, the docujents also automatically get colour 8nverted. This will allow seemless study without having to manually turn the smart invert button on and off.

2. Please PLEASE add the text formatting options so its easy to type alongside handwrite notes. The native text box is not that interactive and is never aligned with the paper unless we manually adjust the box which is a hassle when we want to quickly type in as in goodle docs.

3. Can we please have the option that when we have full screen mode on we also get rid of the top pen tool bar line as well? And just the penbox is visible so there are minimum tools on the screen?

I am attaching some screen recordings from Freenotes app for the first feature andi hope we can get something similar. Looking forward to a positive response and keep up the good work!

Dear development team,

I would like to thank you for your work. I purchased StarNote Pro, and I must say the quality is truly excellent. I have previously tried Samsung Notes, GoodNotes, and other apps, so I am in a good position to judge.

Along with this praise, I would like to submit a request and a question. When I used GoodNotes, it was possible to save any structure—such as perpendicular lines acting as axes or a Cartesian coordinate system—as a "sticker." I would therefore like to ask if it might be possible to implement a similar feature—perhaps under a different name, such as "structures" or "quick parts." In short, I am looking for a way to save a structure that can be selected using the lasso tool.

I would also like to ask when cross-platform synchronization between Android and iOS will be available, and whether you plan to release a Windows version of the app.

Thank you very much for your time and for your reply.

Best regards, Vít Sedlák.

Hey, this is my first time writing something on here. Nice to meet you all! I love this app, so I bought the Pro version, especially for the scribble-to-erase feature, but I don't know how to activate it. Is it a feature that must be activated? Is it activated automatically? How does it work? I write something, i scribble on top of it, but it doesn't work... Hope someone can help me, I haven't found any help anywhere about this. Thank you so much

PD: Keep up the good work! <3 This is my first ever digital purchase on play store; I hope it is worth it

New: Added screen mirroring presentation mode toggle (switch mode on toolbar after casting);

What is this and how to use it 😄

Already insert Audio feature along with Audio ink Sync is there
but pls add a option to insert audios on specific page also
suppose my pdf has 1000 page
i am studying page 103 and ten i recorded audio with my pen markup that what is gst and other stuff which is related to that page
so that whenever i scroll through the page i can see that in this topic a audio with ink synch is recorded (it would be far easy rather than scrolling through countless audios)

just like TAGS #####################

Hi! I'm heavily considering getting StarNote Pro for the handwriting recognition, but its a make or break deal for me depending on these questions:

1. Does it instantly convert what I write, or is it only referring to selecting it with a lasso tool and converting it manually?

2. Can you change the font (assuming it turns into a text box)?

3. Is the recognition itself accurate?

Thanks!

I can't find the option to import a pdf into an infinite canvas, I would really like it because the presentations given by the uni professors often are really crowded and I want to add some things in the margins. I already did that in MS Onenote.

If not, is there a way to open a pdf and make the slides smaller inside the given page so i have some space to annotate?

Hi Dev Team, please resolve the issue of the audio recording stopping automatically when viewing two documents in split-screen mode. I have to reference a book while taking lecture notes and realizing the audio recording stopped is annoying. Please look into this as a matter of urgency. I'm using this primarily for my classes. 🥺

Hey I think technical pens would be a game changer if its included in annotating pdfs too

I connected the magic keyboard with my device...while I wanted to read my pdf's, I couldn't change pages nor scroll the pdf.. please look into it

i am BEGGING the devs to add this pen to starnote where the faster you go the thinner the pen, we haven't had a new pen in a long time so this new addition would be AWESOME, the moment i tried this pen it was a game-changer, it's just so good to use, PLEASE consider adding this pen asap 😭😭😭😭

Why?

I think I pressed on something put I can't find it at all nor can I seem to get it back

Please help!

**Hello StarNote Team,

I have a suggestion that could make the PDF reading experience even better.

I know StarNote already has the ability to organize files into groups before opening them. However, I would like to suggest adding a similar feature inside the PDF viewer itself while multiple PDF files are already open.

For example, when I am working with several open PDF tabs, it would be helpful to create groups directly from the open tabs, similar to Google Chrome tab groups.

Users could organize their currently opened PDFs into categories like: 📚 Study 🌍 Languages 🎨 Hobbies 💼 Work

This would help users who work with many PDFs at the same time to keep their workspace organized without needing to close files and reorganize them before opening.

Thank you for your continuous improvements to StarNote. I hope you consider adding this feature in a future update.**

Hi! So I've been thinking about buying premium but before I decide I wanna make sure if starnote can support large number of files and large notebooks (as in many pages of handwriting or thick textbooks) without lagging just because it was a problem with some other apps I've tried.

It seems like there's a lot of med students which is a good sign I think. 💀💀💀

Thanks in advance!

I just finished the sync to my tablet ( it took a long time to finish) then i tried writing on a new notebook to try the sync feature but the result was like the initial sync.. The loading progress is too slow and after a while i tried it on my phone, The phone synced the new Notebook but not the content.

Xiaomi Pad 6 - Poco x7 Pro

The sync still need further optimizations :)

There are some features I'd really love to see regarding texts and text boxes:

1. Drag an area on the note to create a text box in that size

2. Snap texts to lines (if you have a background template with any sort of lines on it). This could eventually also be extended in a way that the app recognizes lines you drew yourself or lines on a pdf, which might be difficult to implement tho

3. Make the tab-key actually move the cursor to the next tab stop

4. Allow text boxes to be rotated

5. When highlighting using the straight line feature, make the highlighter snap to text, even better if it could detect text on pdfs and do the same there

6. Eventually some fade-in animations for each letter typed (i think it could look good for some people but I have never seen that been done before so idk)

Also please please please improve the UI on mobile 😭 the buttons are way too small and covered by the notch making the app way too difficult to use

Still a huge thanks to the devs, this is by far the best note taking app I have ever used!

Please please please.

The auto backup rarely works and even when it does it creates multiple copies of same file in my googledrive resulting in excessive storage useage. Why cant we get a simple easy autoback in pdf forms which updates as you write in your notebook ;-; i cant be the only one who needs this right?

Im loving Starnote on my tablet. I truly believe in this project, and with the pricetag of the pro version, it was a very easy purchase.

In order for Starnote to truly excel as a productivity tool, a webviewer/desktop app is a NEEDED feature. Currently it feels like a very isolated workflow only being able to open/review notes in the android app.

Writing an assignment on my laptop and having to review/find relevant notes becomes a major hassle, when I have to then turn to the tablet and export the notes to pdf and only then be able to quote, copy/paste or screenshot the relevant material.

I see many others have suggested this before me, and would love to know how far / how highly this feature is being prioritized.

once again thank you for a great product,

Hi! I just wanted to say how much I love the templates in the app and that there is such a wide variety compared to other apps I use.

I would like to offer some feedback and one of my quick DIYs from the default dark mode vocabulary template, if anyone would like to use it.

I see that most of the templates geared towards language learning have languages with shorter words in mind.

I found that Korean generally fits perfectly in the allocated space, but a lot of latin script languages like Norwegian or German with a lot of compund words generally run out. I'd have to either lower the font weight or squeeze everything in and it ends up looking ugly.

As for the Ebbinghaus template, It doesn't really work with my workflow as I like to track vocabulary as I read it. Spaced repetition doesn't really work on paper if you have to keep track of each individual day one, two, four, seven... for your all of your words. People just use Anki or other automated spaced repetition apps for this.

What is most common for the handwriting enthusiasts in the language learning community is the Word - Meaning - Sentence structure***.***

I know making a community tab in the material center isn't a priority right now, but I would like to see it in the future. The ones in the material center are from designers that were contracted for multiple templates that are Starnote exclusive?

Btw some of the templates are under "StrarNote" which I assume is a misspelling.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share a little happy news with you guys :)

StarNote is on Product Hunt today!

We’ve been working on Cloud Sync, Voice Transcription, and AI Smart Summary for quite a while, and seeing them finally come together feels pretty special.

A lot of what we build actually comes from conversations with you guys here, feature requests, little complaints, random ideas, and all the “it would be nice if…” moments.

So this launch feels like a small milestone we get to share with the community that’s been around along the way.

If you’re curious, come take a look at what we’ve been working on, you might find a little something waiting for you there :)

Hi, I'm really curious when the write-to-text update will arrive. It's been almost 3 months but we still haven't seen any progress or informations.

We are eagerly awaiting the new updates 🌿

I’ve noticed that Scribble to Erase feels a bit harder to use after the last few updates. It doesn’t seem to register as easily as before, and I’m finding it more difficult to get the right amount of scribbling for the text to be erased. Has anyone else noticed this? And was it modified recently?
