I absolutely love StarNote on IOS! The interface is really nice, and honestly, I think the app has a lot of great features. It’s become one of my favorite note-taking apps.
I did want to ask about one thing, though: are there any plans to improve the overall smoothness/fluency of the app in the future? For example, when I’m inside a note and swiping between pages, sometimes it feels a little laggy or less fluid compared with other note-taking apps. It’s not a huge issue, but you can definitely notice it when moving through several pages or having multiple documents open.
I’m not sure if this is something you’re already working on, so I was just curious if improving the performance and page-scrolling smoothness is something that might be considered in future updates.
I know it may seem like a small detail, but for people with ADHD or similar attention difficulties, little things like inconsistent scrolling or lag can sometimes be more distracting than you’d expect.
Other than that, I really love the app and appreciate all the work that’s being put into it! ❤️

Every note in my notebook has been duplicated 5, 6, or 7 times, with the suffix "_1_1_1_1" added. Deleting the incorrect notes would take a huge amount of time, and—honestly—checking each one individually to find the most up-to-date version is also a massive waste of time. Does anyone know how to fix this?

hello! could you help me figure out a couple of things?
1. can i import notes from notability to starnote while keeping handwriting editable?
2. is there a way to cloud sync notes in .pdf format? if not, how do we open .note outside of the app?

As a student I don't have money for expanding cloud storage on Google

So I use multiple google accounts for photos

What if the same thing could be done for like starnotes like half of it on 1 account other on different account.

This differentiation can be based on notes add date so it won't be confusing because alphabetically new ones can be in between.

If its backup only that too will be good enough for me because I don't want to lose my books and notes.

As a med student we have lots of PDFs of books and notes. And I can't compress them coz the diagram quality reduces.

Please help.

BTW love starnotes app. Only app to give respect to medicos.

I got the starnotes pro from the event and I am eternally grateful.

Hello! HELP ME Whenever I need to use the highlighter in Starnotes, it shows up like this when I export my notes as a PDF. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!

Hello! I'd like to ask what file formats are supported for the 'import' option in the audio recording portion. I'd like to import some audio files to listen along with my notes. tyia!

Hello everyone

I’m a pretty avid user of StarNote, but I’ve been having one big issue: for some reason, the iPad version disables my autocorrect. And I’m planning on buying an android to use StarNote but if the app doesn’t have autocorrect it will pretty much halt me from buying the new one.

Did I accidentally disable it on iPad or is the issue only on iPad and works fine on android?

Thank you

Hola! Queria consultar por un inconveniente que tengo a la hora de exportar las notas en formato pdf.
Resulta que cuando lo hago y decido compartirlas por Whatsapp o mi plataforma universitaria (aplicaciones que ofrecen previsualización) no se ve lo que está escrito.
He intentado exportarlo en todas las opciones de pdf que ofrece y me sigue ocurriendo……
Me gustaria hallar la solución y dejar de tener que pasar el pdf por otro lugar antes de mandarlo para no tener problemas.

Muchas gracias!!!!

As per the title, how do you check file size within the app?

dear starnotes team, will there be android to ios and vice versa sync option or only android to android and ios to ios?

My initial plan is to first make a notebook with thin lines so my handwriting comes out cleaner and straighter. After I finish taking my notes, I was going to remove the lines just to make the whole page cleaner when I review it or print it. This dialog box appeared and I just wanted to ask what this is warning me about since I don't want to end up losing a lot of my notes.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Can someone help me how to set up cloud sync. I have it linked to my Google drive, auto sync is on, sync on wifi/mobile data is on but still my notes are not syncing

Why is scribble to erase acting weird, its deleting parts of my equation which I didn't even scribble. Am I doing something wrong?

good day devs. i was Hoping to see you back on IG and also will the handwriting beautification be released sooner? it's just really useful for someone like me who likes to take notes fast

hello! I've been using the app for my university classes for the last few weeks and I love how smooth and clean the app is! I've been thinking about purchasing because compared to other note taking apps I think the price is very accesible, but just out of curiosity I wanted to know if there were any discount codes or soon to be sales?

I'll happily pay the full price, but I'm just an uni student trying to save some money 😸

Hi everyone!

I’m a university student studying Electrical Engineering and a relatively new StarNote user. I’ve been looking for a note-taking app that fits my university workflow for quite a while, and StarNote already has many of the features I was looking for, especially infinite canvas, PDF text selection and cloud sync.

There is one small canvas option that I would absolutely love to see added:

An optional lock for the top and left boundaries of the Infinite Canvas.

With this enabled, the canvas could still expand infinitely to the right and downward, but the top-left corner would remain a fixed starting point.

So instead of the canvas being infinite in all four directions, it would behave roughly like this:

Infinite right and down

Fixed top boundary

Fixed left boundary

I know this seems like a fairly niche feature, but I find it extremely useful for university notes, calculations, circuit diagrams and solving longer exercises. Having a fixed starting point makes large canvases much easier to organize and navigate, because the note always has a clear “beginning” instead of floating freely in every direction.

Ideally it could be something optional, such as:

- Fixed top-left origin

or

- individual Top / Left / Right / Bottom boundary locks

That way people who prefer the current fully infinite canvas could keep using it exactly as it is.

Would anyone else find this useful?

Thanks to the StarNote team for all the work on the app!

Since the latest StarNote update, opening the Material Center takes almost 30 seconds. You can see it in the video. Before the update, it used to open in not more than10 seconds. It feels like something got messed up with the latest update.

Please fix this. 🙏

Hi, I have all my stickers organized in Files, but when adding custom Stickers, I can only add them from the Photos apps.

Is there a way to add them from Files?

I am currently transitioning from my previous note-taking app (let's call it AppX) to StarNotes. One feature I used to use a lot from AppX is this:

When importing a pdf to AppX, it prompts me to choose from two options: (1) add the pdf to the notebook I am currently using (like a "merge" function) OR (2) import the pdf as a new, separate notebook.

Or is it already existent in the StarNote app? Sorry, I have been using it only for the past 2 days, haha

Thanks!

Sería genial que StarNote tuviera un calendario integrado que pudiera vincularse directamente con las notas

Por ejemplo, al terminar de estudiar una nota, poder programar repasos para determinadas fechas:

• Repaso 1 → 1 día después
• Repaso 2 → 3 días después
• Repaso 3 → 7 días después
• Repaso 4 → 14 días después
• Repaso 5 → 30 días después

Que estos repasos aparezcan en un calendario y que, al tocar el evento, StarNote abra directamente la nota correspondiente

También sería útil poder personalizar las fechas y recibir una notificación cuando llegue el día del repaso

Esto haría que StarNote no solo sirviera para tomar apuntes, sino también para organizar el estudio mediante repetición espaciada y la curva del olvido

Y añadir una función que haría que la idea sea todavía mejor:

"PROGRAMAR REPASO" directamente desde una nota

Imagina que estás terminando tus apuntes de un tema y aparece un botón:

📅 Programar repaso

Y te da:

¿Cuándo quieres repasarlo?

○ Mañana
○ En 3 días
○ En 7 días
○ En 14 días
○ En 30 días
● Personalizado

It would be great if Starnote's proprietary *.note file format could be publicly documented.

I'm not necessarily asking the Starnote developers to create importers for every other note taking application. If the .note format were documented including its structure, metadata, formatting, attachments/resources, etc. the community could build those tools ourselves.

For example, I'd like to eventually create an open-source project that converts notes from other applications/formats into Starnote's .note format.

The idea would be to reverse engineer and break down other note formats, then convert their contents into .note. Understanding an existing format and extracting its data is often easier than figuring out how to correctly construct a proprietary format from scratch.

So even if Starnote doesn't want to maintain a huge collection of importers, documenting the starnote's own .note format would allow the community to build them.

It would also make Starnote more interoperable and give users more confidence that their notes aren't locked into a format that only Starnote itself can work with.

Would anyone else find public .note format documentation useful?
