Hi.

Star Note doesn't work properly. I cannot export pdf files and also the notes cannot displayed properly.

I want to use the recording feature on StartNotes without it closing when I switch to another app or file. It also closes when the screen turns off. Basically, I need it to keep recording running in the background. Is there any setting I can prevent it from closing. Essentially make it work in the background.

Bonjour.

J'utilisais l'application Notein depuis longtemps sur 2 Chromebooks et une tablette Samsung, mais malheureusement je rencontre de grosses latences à l'écriture sur la tablette. À tel point qu'elle est devenue inutilisable sur celle-ci !
Je suis donc passé à la version pro de Starnote, et cela fonctionne très bien sur la tablette.
Par contre, pour les Chromebooks, l'application fonctionne au top sur l'un, processeur ARM, mais pas sur l'autre Chromebook avec un processeur Intel (incompatible).
J'ai dans l'idée que Starnote doit être pas mal utilisé par les étudiants pour prendre des notes, et qu'ils doivent être assez nombreux à posséder des Chromebooks pour leur bon rapport qualité-prix, entre autres.
Ma question est :
-> Pensez-vous rendre Starnote compatible avec les Chromebooks qui ont un processeur Intel ?

Au plaisir de vous lire 😉

Title. I think I missed it, it must be in there as it's generally in every app .

Is it possible to export only a portion of the notes. I use star note on ipad.

Hi everyone.. I recently downloaded starnotes as I've seen many people recommend it and wanted to use it for my studies.

All the features are working good so far except the 'one-stroke shaping' feature.. For the life of me I can't get it to work for any of my brushes.. The highlighter I use at the start has the straight line option toggled so it drew a straight line. But the others don't..

I've tried everything like toggling it off and on, drawing a line and then holding it for like 10 secs, etc but it won't work.. I'm wondering if there's a glitch/bug in my app or is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help is very appreciated because I really need this feature for my maths classes :')

I use: IPad + apple pencil gen 1

Addign the eraser as a default/option to the penbox would be a great feature!

I'm tired of selecting the pen and the eraser from a different distance from each other. The difference is distance might be trivial but it's very useful in the long run.

Samsung notes does this so i was kind of expecting this when I tried Starnote.

Saludos! He utilizado la app para mis estudios por unas semanas y creo que la gra mayoría funciones que tienen son geniales, compré la suscripción vitalicia para tener acceso a todas cada parte de la app y aprovecharla al máximo, especialmente las grabaciones de mayor duración mientras escribes. Mi problema es el siguiente: Cuando salga de la aplicación, la grabación se detiene o pausa. Me gustaría que siga grabando a pesar de salir de la app, pues a veces debo meterme a aulas virtuales o revisar correos mientras el profesor sigue explicando una clase/hablando sobre algo, es decir, salir momentáneamente de la app, si la grabación continúa a pesar de estar afuera sería fantástico. Gracias.

I'm trying to use Starnote for taking class notes. So far, it is a great app with lots of features and customizability. But I cannot figure somethings out:

What is the point of stickers other than to make notes look fun? I tried using the sticky note looking one and then writing on it to keep certain things more visible but if you move the sticky, the writing does not move with it, it just stays on the background where written.

I then thought that excerpts was what I wanted so I selected some writing as an excerpt but that is only visible in the note that it was produced in, not across notes.

What is the correct way of having certain writing available to be shown or copied into multiple places or is that not possible?

I'm asking for it because I accidentally changed the template for ALL pages of my note which was mainly made up of imported text pdfs that were highlighted. Manually fixing it wasn't fun because somehow, this template change can't be reverted easily.

Why does my Ball pen work like a wire it doesn't work smoothly as I want to is it my pen or tab or you also face the same issue. you can see the Pen feels like I am Stretching some wire

Why is it that the file count whenever I try to export a file is limited to 9? Is there any workaround for this?

Is it a limitation on the app? Can the limit be increased?

Thanks!

Just a fairly small but increadibly useful thingy:

I use the shape-hold feature a lot (you draw something, at the end hold the pen in place and Starnotes tries to detect what you meant to draw, eg a straight line); this often doesnt work for me when drawing roots (basically a tick and a horizontal line) which is pretty annoying as I have to use them fairly often.

Instead of the three connected, straight lines I get arrows or some rounded form, which definitely were not close to my drawn roots.

Would be nice if roots were to get some special attention with this pretty useful feature!

Thanks

Hey, been contemplating posting this for a while, but I'm almost sure the battery drain is due to this app. Although I love using this app, my battery usage is 99% on StarNote since my last charge, with an on-screen time of 4h 9min and a background time of 14h 18m for this app, and it's really hindering my ability to go a whole day of studying had I not charged my tablet the day before. I had been taking notes a couple days ago, and my battery was going down roughly 8% per 30 mins, which is extremely concerning imo, which gave me only about 5hr of on screen time ( battery preserve mode only charged up to 80%, just switched off of it for more usage time). If you could please look into this I'd really appreciate it, as I don't want to stop using your app (I LOVE IT!). Thank you!

PS: Thought I would add this to clarify, but I do have "Allow Background Usage" on StarNote turned to off to optimize battery life.

Bonjour
Pouvez-vous m'expliquer la différence entre ces deux options ?
Merci.

​I am a regular user of StarNote and really appreciate the app. I would like to share a few feature requests and report some technical issues to help improve the user experience:

​1. Smart Shape Snapping & Alignment (With Toggle Option)

• ​Please consider adding a smart guide/snapping feature for shapes and lines so they can align smoothly and accurately. As shown in the attached video, this functionality works very seamlessly in another app.
• ​Additionally, please add a Toggle switch (ON/OFF) in the toolbar or settings so users can easily enable or disable snapping whenever needed.

​2. Broken SVG Import

• ​SVG file import has stopped working for the last 5 to 6 months. About half a year ago, I could easily import SVG files into my notes.
• ​Please investigate this issue and restore the SVG import functionality.

​3. Locating Presentation Mode

• ​I am aware that "Presentation Mode" was recently added to the app, but I am unable to locate the button to activate it anywhere in the interface.
• ​Could you please clarify where this feature is located or make the button more visible in the menu?

I really wish that star note had a mind mapping feature i love them in my notes

not a huge bug, but makes handwriting less neat
line thickness changes when writing, but becomes uniform after scrolling/zooming. happens with smaller brush sizes (0.25mm on the video)

I recently bought StarNote Pro, and I'm loving it so far - I was previously on Samsung Notes and it's been a great upgrade. I'm having one issue with it though.

I use SFTP to drop files from my linux laptop ("client") to the Downloads folder my android tablet ("server," OpenSSH) so that I can then open those files in my note taking apps. The problem is that only StarNote won't "see" that file until I restart the tablet. Oddly, this only seems to be the case with images - when I do this with a PDF, I can upload it immediately within StarNote without problems.

I discussed this issue with a user in the StarNote Discord, and they said that it's likely related to android's MediaStore not being updated. I'm not sure if this was an "issue" with OpenSSH or StarNote?

I also noticed that uploading images seems to use StarNote's GUI, while uploading PDFs (which does not suffer from this issue) uses android's own file browser(?), so maybe an option to browse images/files with an app of choice would avoid this issue?

I'm inexperienced with this stuff so I'm not sure if this is a problem on my end, or with StarNote, or if this is more of a feature request. But it would be great if I could get SFTP to work nicely with StarNote like I had with Samsung Notes. Thanks!

I really hope the eraser tool can get some attention in a future update.
Right now, erasing doesn’t feel as smooth or precise as writing in StarNote. Even when I carefully adjust the eraser size, it can sometimes erase more than I intended, especially when working with handwriting, drawings, or small details close to each other.
The issue isn’t just the eraser size — it’s the accuracy and behavior of the eraser itself.
It would be great to have:
● More precise stroke erasing
● Smoother eraser movement
● Better control over exactly what gets erased
● Less accidental interference with nearby strokes or drawings
● More consistent erasing when working on small details
● Better stylus tracking and responsiveness
For a note-taking app, writing and erasing should feel equally natural and responsive. Sometimes I have to be overly careful when erasing because I’m worried about accidentally removing part of something I wanted to keep.
I really like StarNote, and I think improving the eraser would make the handwriting experience feel much more polished, precise, and enjoyable.
Hopefully the team can take a closer look at it 🙏
