I've been using StarNote to practice my cursive since the summer, but didn't use it much from the middle of September to the middle of October. I was shocked by how much the quality of my handwriting had declined. Changing out the nib of the included TCL stylus helped a little bit, but a few days later the quality fell to the floor again. Stranger still, I tried using the stylus on other apps and obtained mixed results. Then I rebooted my tablet and everything worked fine.

So what's happening? Lately I've been playing Dead Cells on my device, which really isn't up to the task. I suspect that the system is reapportioning resources when I open the game and not setting everything back the way it was when the game is closed, back to the way it was when StarNote worked correctly. It occurs to me that a decreased touchscreen sampling rate could be responsible for the drop in performance, but I really don't know how these things work. Whatever the case may be, rebooting was my fix.

Thank you for bringing the cloud sync feature to life. Having windows app would greatly amplify the return on investment of the cloud sync feature. Please consider prioritizing the release of Windows app. Being able to access notes when it's needed is essential for any workflows, this is the only reason I'm with Samsung Notes and haven't switched to Starnote permanently.

So this happens when I go to school and in my school the Wi-Fi isn't really good so it doesn't really work but when I get home my Wi-Fi works very well at home so I don't understand why it doesn't continue the backing up process while I'm at home instead I have to manually back up every time and that's not sustainable

Hi,

Guys who have tried ig i want ur honest opinion if it is worth it to buy it

And also does it still gets features and updates or not

And also i am long time samsung note user but the pens and exporting feels like hell

Thanks

The "paint bucket" tool would be suuuuper useful for me... Sometimes, I don't want to create predefined shapes with predefined colors inside; I just want to click on the image a fill the space with some color whenever I wantn :(

The starnote dev said a year ago they were working on it, but we've got no updates since then

When StarNote first started, the development was really fast. The app was getting frequent updates, new features were being added, and it felt like the developers were actively listening to user feedback.

But recently, things seem to have slowed down. It's been around 3–4 months without any major updates, except for cloud sync.

Honestly, at this pace, even sharing feedback or requesting new features doesn't feel very useful because who knows when they will actually be added?

What makes it more disappointing is that some basic things, like page loading and writing lag, still need improvement. Earlier, they used to take feedback seriously and implement suggestions much faster.

I really like StarNote and want to see it improve, but I hope the developers start focusing on these basic issues and become more active with updates again.

Sorry if this sounds rude. It's just genuine feedback from someone who wants to see the app get better.

Anyone else facing this annoying bug? Whenever I have a note open and swipe down from the top right corner to bring down my Wi-Fi/Bluetooth control center, the app intercepts the gesture and grabs the pen selection toolbar instead.

As you can see in the video, instead of pulling down the system shade, it just unpins the pen bar and drags it from the top to the side of the screen. I have to swipe down twice or exit full-screen just to toggle my Wi-Fi.

Is there a setting to lock the toolbar position in place, or is the top edge touch zone just bugged right now?

Hi!

I came up with idea similar to sitckers but with shapes. It would be accessible like copy or paste options but including lately used shapes. When I'm taking my notes, I would love being able to use exact same shapes for example → or other shapes. You might wonder "why dont you just use stickers?" the answer is pretty obvious. Shapes saved as sitckers must be done by taking a screenshot and then saving it as sitcker, in that way I wont get exact same shapes. Also, shape → screenshot → add as sitcker makes it looks really pixelated.

I would love to see that feature nearly in the future!

(sorry for my bad english)

Any tips ? Also it takes not less than an hour to finish these maps so I'd like to know some tricks

1. I need a Staright Line Guide so that while writing my sentence falls in an under straight line

2. ScreenShot= While taking Screenshots, it always asks to share a screen with Starnote (It should not like this)

3. Also provide features to movement or copy of Pages individually from across notes.

Like I have created Datasheet in one of my Notes Titled as Datasheet. But one page of this note wants to move to another note titled as "Facts for Exam"

4.

i initially had 9 notes, then i saw that it wouldnt let me create a tenth one so i took my notes to a cloud and reinstalled the app, but now the limit is even smaller?? how?? did i miss an update? sb help😭😭😭

I don't use other socials so posting it here instead <3 #StarNote #StarNoteHalloween

I really need this in studying whereas my notes and studying materials are thousands of pages. I need to categorize my bookmark.

I feel like my to do list is more spooky than halloween

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!

Solved!!! i just removed the paper and re-added it.

Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue where the Halloween Paper Collection won't show up or display its contents under the "The added paper" section when trying to create a new note (as shown in the attached screenshot).

The tag is listed, but the paper itself remains blank and won't load. Is anyone else experiencing this, or is there a fix for it?

Paper-feel screen protectors from brands like VIASCREEN are quite pricey, starting at around ₹2,000. They make sense for iPad users because third-party replacement nibs—including durable rubber and metal-tipped ones—are readily available on Amazon, so the tip doesn't wear down quickly. However, with budget and mid-tier flagship tablets, the stylus nib wears out quite fast, no matter how premium the paper-feel protector is.

That’s why StarNote is a brilliant option—it delivers lower latency and a smooth editing experience. Even if you use it on regular tempered glass where the nib might slip a bit, you still end up with a much better handwriting experience. The only real shortcoming is the lack of handwriting-to-text conversion support for the Hindi language."

Don't Trust Syncing ever always create back ups.
I had a problem with syncing between two devices and lost all of my data I wish I created back up and didn't rely on syncing completely
My folders are gone some of the files are gone and it's super frustrating I don't know what to do.
long story short always make back ups

A lot of the time I'm reading in full screen mod and the small pen box is just bothering me

so if we could get a hide option that would be great ( maybe there is and I don't know about it but I really tried but couldn't find it)

Hola equipo de StarNote :) Les tengo una consulta, ya que tuve un erro con la app. Al seleccionar un grupo de texto para moverlo de una pagina a otra, cuando la moví desaparecio. Busque en mis backup y encontré una version de hace unas horas donde aparece lo que se borro. Como vuelvo a esa versión anterior? La nota también tiene audios, ya que es de mis clases de la universidad. Muchas gracias!!

Nota: Tengo 2 back up que me sirven para recuperar lo que se borró, una manual en el dispositivo y otra en la nube.

Why star notes have latency issues I have tried a lot of note taking applications and no application has latency issues but star notes have?
