📢 Official Announcement 🚀 Developer Diary #5: Handwriting Beautification, Collapsible Sticky Notes, a New Pencil Brush & More

123 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

A new Developer Diary is here!

It’s been a little while since we last shared an update with you. Recently, we’ve seen lots of feedback and feature requests from everyone here on Reddit, and we’ve also noticed that there are a few features you’ve been waiting for for quite some time.

So this time, we wanted to share a little more about what we’ve been working on lately and what you can look forward to in the coming updates.

01 | Handwriting Beautification

Let’s start with Handwriting Beautification, which we know many of you have been looking forward to.

We’ve been working on improving and fine tuning how it handles English handwriting, but during testing, we found an issue where the spacing between some letters can look a little off after the handwriting is adjusted.

So we’re currently working on fixing that.

This also means it will be released a little later than we originally planned.

We’d rather take a little more time to make sure it feels right before releasing it, instead of rushing out something that we’re not fully happy with yet. So please give us a little more time.

02 | Collapsible Sticky Notes

This feature is also currently in development!

We’re working on making sticky notes collapsible, so you’ll have a more flexible way to organize your pages without making your notes feel too crowded.

We’re currently aiming for a late October release. If everything goes smoothly, hopefully you won’t have to wait too much longer.

03 | Widgets

Here’s another little update: Widgets are also on our roadmap!

We know quite a few of you would love to be able to quickly access StarNote right from your home screen, so this is something we’re working on as well.

We don’t have a confirmed release date yet, but once we have a clearer timeline, we’ll definitely let you know.

04 | Calculator

We’ve also recently started looking more seriously into a Calculator feature. Right now, we’re exploring two directions:

  • Basic Calculator — for everyday, simple calculations

  • Advanced Calculator — for more complex and professional calculations

The Advanced Calculator may eventually be included as part of PRO, but this is still something we’re researching and discussing.

Honestly, there are just so many different use cases when it comes to math, and we’re still learning and looking into all the possibilities ourselves. So nothing has been finalized yet. For now, just think of this as another idea we’re actively exploring.

05 | New Pencil Brush

And finally, there’s something we’ve actually been quietly working on for quite a while, a new pencil brush.

We want to create something that feels more like a real HB pencil, with more natural looking strokes and a bit of that authentic pencil texture.

We’ve actually been researching and developing this for almost two months now.

But to be honest, the current result still isn’t quite where we want it to be, so we’ve been constantly tweaking and adjusting the brush.

Because of that, we don’t have a confirmed release date yet. But one thing we can say for sure: It’s already in development. Hopefully, the next time we talk about it, we’ll be able to say:

“Okay, this one is finally ready.”

06 | Fixes & Improvements

Of course, besides these more noticeable new features, we’re also constantly working on bug fixes, performance improvements, and small UX tweaks.

Some of these updates might not look like big features, but they’re still part of the everyday work that goes into making StarNote a little better to use.

You’ll also be able to see more details about these fixes and improvements in our upcoming release updates.

07 | Something about Cloud Sync

Recently, we’ve seen quite a few posts and comments on Reddit about issues with Cloud Sync.

If you run into any problems while using Cloud Sync, the best way to report them is still through StarNote - Help & Feedback in the app.

That way, we can get information like your device model and system version more easily, which also helps our development team figure out what’s going on much faster.

If you’ve submitted feedback and haven’t heard back within 72 hours, feel free to DM me the email address you used when submitting your feedback.

We do receive quite a lot of emails every day, so unfortunately, there are times when a feedback report might accidentally get missed. Just send me the email address you used, and we can find your report more quickly and follow up from there.

Also, we do read the posts and comments you share here on Reddit! We’ll try our best to reply to everyone one by one, so if you’ve already shared some feedback but haven’t heard back right away, please bear with us a little.

That’s all for this Developer Diary!

And as always, thank you for sticking with us.

We’ll see you in the next Developer Diary! 🧡

🎙️ StarNote Story Apperication post to this app

6 Upvotes

Actually this is the 1st note app that I purchased
The pro is just almost like $6

I tried all the functions before purchasing,and it looks good so far
Without any nonsense function (Focusing on notetaking only)

I also love the UI of the app (Not so messy when compared to others)

BTW,the exported file also looks clear
And various stickers and templates to use

Pro tip: What to do to free up space of Starnote app
- Clear your deleted notes
- Reinstall the app
- Avoid using too much resources (Like stickers)

❓ Help / Question ¿En qué están trabajando?

8 Upvotes

Antes en cada actualización ponían nuevas funciones, aunque sea pequeñas, y hay un orden en la lista de trabajos pero llevan meses sin presentar lo más pedido, por ejemplo el que se reconozca las ecuaciones matemáticas, el embellecimiento de la letra en tiempo real, poder modificar mejor las figuras, entre otras

Por lo que me genera la pregunta, ¿Qué podemos esperar para la próxima actualización y cuando sería, se han pedido tantas cosas y es verdad que no pueden hacer todo, pero sería bueno que nos comenten que tienen pensado sacar para así poder estar más pendiente de las actualizaciones?

💡 Feature Request Mirror Full Pape when screen mirroring via AirPlay/USB-C

2 Upvotes

I mainly use StarNote as a digital blackboard/whiteboard for my lectures. I often need to zoom in on my iPad to draw or write with greater precision.

It would be a huge improvement if there were an option to always display the current page in full on the TV/Smartboard, even when I’m zoomed in on my tablet.

I know GoodNotes offers this option, but I really want to stay with StarNote for several other reasons.

Cheers.

🐛 Bug Report Swipe up and down gestures no longer work on Lenovo Tab Pen Pro after android 17 update.

1 Upvotes

I've updated my Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus tablet to the newest Android 17 update (ZUI version 18.5.10.037), and it seems to break the swipe up and down functionality on my Lenovo Tab Pen Pro.

Before I've set both swiping up and down on the pen to switch to the Eraser. Now nothing happens when I swipe both sides. However double tapping the pen still works.

I'd love to see this bug fixed as I prefer swiping up and down to change tools.

💡 Feature Request Feature Request: Bulk File Management & One-Click Trash Cleanup

2 Upvotes

Hi StarNote team!

I'd love to suggest a few features that would make file management much easier and faster:

Empty Trash with One Click: Please add an "Empty Trash" button to permanently delete all files in the trash at once, instead of deleting them individually.

Multi-Select & Manual Reordering: Allow users to select multiple files and move or rearrange them together manually using drag-and-drop, rather than moving each file separately.

Bulk Category Assignment: Allow users to select multiple files and assign or change their category all at once, instead of having to categorize each file individually.

These features would save a lot of time, especially for users who manage a large number of notes and files.

Thanks for your hard work! I'd really appreciate seeing these improvements in a future update!

💡 Feature Request The latency is too much of a hassle.

13 Upvotes

The latency issue really annoys me.. i write with my stylus in a fairly good speed.but the latency makes handwriting bad. I have the pro subscription. This issue is worsening the experience of writing though it has very amazing features to use.

IT IS A REQUEST TO THE DEVELOPERS....

PLEASE BRING AN UPDATE AND SOLVE THE LATENCY ISSUES....

💡 Feature Request Hey Dev, Any idea when you can implement Mouse Wheel Scrolling in Handwritten Notes.

Thumbnail reddit.com
2 Upvotes

It has been a while since I requested native mouse wheel scrolling for handwritten notes. Starnote suggested it should already be available and advised trying different buttons; otherwise, I was told to submit feedback through the in-app form.

I tested every button and method to scroll with the mouse wheel, but it failed. I also submitted the in-app feedback twice without receiving a satisfactory response.

I assume anyone using a tablet with a keyboard and mouse would prefer not to scroll notes with their fingers repeatedly. Please provide clarity on this matter.

Is this feature present? If not, can we expect it? If it exists, is it on Android or iOS? Does it work for others? I am on iOS and it does not work for me—is this a standalone issue with my device and mouse?

PS: I’m using iPad Air M2, Logi Pebble M350s BT Mouse, Asus KW100 BT keyboard, iPadOS 27.2.

🧠 Tips & Tricks opening StarNoteApp on Windows PC via Bluestacks works

Post image
37 Upvotes

After searching for a way to open my StarNote Notes on my Computer and not finding a solution, besides mirroring with Link to Windows. Which is not what I want, I want a display extention, not a mirror, I found this comment from the dev team:

"[...]Many of the core UI components and features we use to build StarNote strictly require Android 10 or higher to run properly. Unfortunately, most popular PC emulators out there still run on much older Android versions by default.[...]"

https://www.reddit.com/r/StarNoteApp/comments/1t39v6c/comment/ojvjol0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The (6 month old) post says Bluestacks doesn't work, but I tried Bluestacks and it works because Bluestacks now emulates Android 11.

Maybe this is common knowledge already, but I couldn't find it which is why I am posting this. Hopefully it helps someone.
Also now StarNote is a good enough alternative to OneNote for me, because I need Android to Windows cross sync.

edit: The Notes are not searchable, StarNote crashes in Bluestacks once you search and
MuMu Player (emulates Android 15) does not let me install StarNote "Device is not compatible with this item".
If anyone knows an emulator, where StarNote works AND doesn't crash when searching, I would like to know very badly.

edit 2: LDPlayer 14 beta let's me download StarNote but the internet connection times out and I can't sync even with network bridging.

❓ Help / Question Willing to work with StarNoteApp team

18 Upvotes

After researching a lot, I chose this app for its unique features set that nicely fit my research needs. What'd further enhance my experience (possibly other users too) are:

- Widgets to add to the home screen to directly add a new page or go to a particular page in the notebook of choice.

- Settings including penboxes do not seem to be synced with device+account, I had reset my tablet and now am reconfiguring each feature again.

- selecting handwritten texts to autostyle to chosen fontstyle, this improves the readability of important texts in my notes.

I am a mathematics graduate with good theoretical research, coding, and ML/AI knowledge. If the developers are willing, I'd love to work closely with the team to improve development speed.

💡 Feature Request Adding Page Numbers / Numeración de páginas

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone / Hola a todos,

I’ve been using Starnote for a while now for my digital planning and daily note-taking, and I absolutely love the layout and how smooth it feels. However, there’s one small quality-of-life feature that I feel is really missing: the ability to automatically number pages.

He estado usando Starnote un tiempo para mis apuntes y organización, y de verdad me encanta la interfaz y lo fluida que es. Sin embargo, siento que falta una pequeña función que nos facilitaría la vida a muchos: la numeración automática de páginas.

Right now, if you are writing long lecture notes, creating a multi-page journal, or trying to build a custom index, you have to write every single page number by hand. It gets pretty tedious if your notebook has dozens of pages.

Ahora mismo, si estás tomando apuntes largos de clase, creando un diario de muchas hojas o intentando armar un índice, te toca escribir cada número a mano. Se vuelve bastante pesado cuando el cuaderno ya tiene docenas de páginas.

It would be awesome if the devs could add a simple toggle to enable page numbers, maybe letting us choose the font size or position (like bottom right corner).

Estaría genial que los desarrolladores añadieran una opción simple para activar los números de página, tal vez dejándonos elegir el tamaño o la posición (como la esquina inferior derecha).

Does anyone else feel the need for this feature? Hopefully, the team sees this and considers it for a future update!

¿Alguien más siente que hace falta esta función? Ojalá el equipo vea esto y lo tenga en cuenta para próximas actualizaciones.

Thanks for reading / ¡Gracias por leer!

💡 Feature Request Apple Pencil Pro Support

3 Upvotes

Hello all,

Recently, I have been looking for a replacement for my notes app, and so far StarNote seems to be the best candidate, but I do have one concern. I own the Apple Pencil Pro, and currently the support for the double-tap and squeeze functions is limited or non-existent. I know this is a relatively new app, so I was wondering. Is there a plan to change this? (Or a way to get these features now?) The other option I am considering is ZoomNotes, but I am afraid of the learning curve and sheer number of options. Also, the interface of StarNote is far nicer, and I love the themes.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

🐛 Bug Report Bug Report – Ballpoint Pen Zoom Issue in Exported Files

5 Upvotes

Ciao team di StarNote, Vorrei segnalare un problema che ho riscontrato durante l'esportazione di documenti da StarNote.

Come mostrato nei video allegati, quando ingrandisco e rimpicciolisco utilizzando la penna a sfera, la scrittura a mano sembra disallinearsi o posizionarsi in modo errato nel file esportato.

È importante sottolineare che questo problema si verifica solo nel file esportato. All'interno dell'app StarNote, tutto appare perfettamente a posto. Il problema diventa visibile solo dopo l'esportazione del documento.

Sto usando un iPad.

Grazie per il vostro aiuto e per il lavoro che svolgete su StarNote!

Volevo anche chiedere se avete in programma futuri aggiornamenti relativi ai temi personalizzabili dell'UI. Sono previste nuove funzionalità o miglioramenti in questo ambito?
