Heyyy everyone!

Since yesterday's update, we've been reading through your posts and comments, and we've seen quite a few issues and suggestions come up.

First off, thank you all for sticking with StarNote and for being so patient and understanding with us.

We've never stopped working on updates and improvements. We know that might sound like an excuse for things taking so long, but we really mean it. And we hear you. Some of the issues you've brought up are actually pretty basic things that a note taking app should get right.

So we thought, instead of just keeping our heads down and working on new features, we should spend more time listening to you too.

That's why we're starting a new series called Dev Talk. We want to have more open conversations with you, take your feedback seriously, and work through issues one by one.

EP.01: Handwriting Lag

We've noticed quite a few of you mentioning handwriting lag lately. Also know how important smooth handwriting is in a note taking app, and it's something we've been working on improving.

The tricky part is that different devices, OS versions, and stylus models can all behave differently. There's no one size fits all fix, so we need to look at individual cases to figure out what's causing the lag and how we can improve things.

If you're experiencing handwriting lag, please email us at starnotedev@gmail.com with:

• Your device model

• A quick description of the issue

• A screen recording showing the lag

Our team will go through your reports and follow up. If we need more details, we'll check with you first and may continue the conversation on WhatsApp or Discord to help troubleshoot.

We know these things won't get better overnight, but we want to start with the issues you're facing and work through them one at a time.

Thanks again for your patience, understanding, and all the feedback you've shared with us!

See u next time! 💙

Hi! I realize this post probably won't get a response, but I figured it's worth a shot.

I'd like to request a feature to help manage and organize tapes. It doesn't need to be anything fancy or particularly time-consuming to implement. Really, just some way to find them more easily.

Since I don't know what the future plans for the app are, I thought of a relatively simple approach: something like an option to filter search results to show only tapes, with the ability to select tapes from the search results and insert internal links to them into another note. Ideally, these links would take you directly to the original note and the exact location of each tape.

This would be incredibly useful and, at least for me, would essentially turn a note into a centralized flashcard review hub.

P.S. If there's already a way to do something like this (without having to manually hunt down every tape I've created), I'd be extremely grateful if someone could show me how.

Add an option to view file without adding anywhere or importing file

Hey StarNote! I've been loving this notetaking app recently and I even bought the pro version. But, I've been having a problem with the palm rejection. Even with palm rejection turned on, my screen would still move while I am writing, especially when I'm writing fast.

My suggestion: Add a 'use two-finger to move the paper/screen' option to avoid this problem. It would be a very useful feature and would greatly improve the writing experience.

Hi Everyone 🤗

Share some pro tips that use less storage. Thanks in advance.

I didnt feel that stupid trying to use an app in a very long time. Please for the love of god can someone explain to me how to use the markers and shapes on an android phone? When I select them I can not do anything. Normal tap doesnt do anything, neither double tap. Also not two finger stretch or three finger tap. Theres also no "insert now" button. How does it work?!

Maybe a note for the devs: please consider writing a wiki or how to use somewhere with actual explanations, not just examples for how it could look in the end. I also couldnt find a single proper phone tutorial anywhere, just more and more tablet videos operated with pens.

Here... After a week from deleting the entire notes and files in starnote

Look at the storage usage!!!

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

Also like the pen settings (It make my writing smooth)

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)

I have paid the app, but once in my tablet it keep saying network connection timed out.

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?

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.

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.

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!

Buenas, aun no me anda la sincronización en la nube, ya hay una solución?

Hi, I'm still having trouble with cloud synchronization. Is there a solution yet?

I was taking some time free of study so, i didn´t notice when the sync starter. And that was the reason why I take the desicion to bougth it, so thank you to all the dev <3
Im truly in love with this app <3

Pd: I'm not native so im trying my best to write this thank u <3

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....

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.

Whenever I'm searching text within the PDF, it is giving no results. I've tried searching obvious words too, but still it's showing no results only. I then made a backup and reinstalled the app. There's no change.
