User Reviews

Users praise StarNote for strong handwriting and a rich feature set at a low one-time price, plus responsive support. The main recurring complaints are the lack of automatic cross-device syncing and reliance on Google Drive backups, which requires manual syncing and can occasionally cause data loss. Despite these issues, the app's backup reliability and value keep it appealing for tablet users seeking a single-payment handwriting solution.

Pros

One-time lifetime pricing offers great value compared to subscriptions.
Excellent handwriting quality and a feature-rich toolkit for handwriting notes.
Reliable backup function that helps protect notes with straightforward, dependable backups.
Responsive, kind developers who are attentive to user feedback.
Strong tablet-targeted experience with robust note-taking features for iPad.

Cons

No seamless cross-device syncing; real-time syncing between iPad and iPhone is not supported.
Backup and cloud syncing relies on Google Drive and is not automatic, requiring manual steps to keep notes in sync.
Occasional bugs or data loss when syncing via Google Drive.

Found this on XHS/Rednote by complete accident and it has everything I need out of a notes app. I’ve tried (and paid) for so many different notes apps, but StarNote is probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to just traditional notes. It’s affordable and doesn’t have a subscription which is a huuuuge plus, and you still get a lot of free notebooks even without paying (but I highly recommend the premium). The UX is great and the custom gestures and shortcuts are super convenient. Looking forward to seeing how the app develops!

I want to be able to zoom out and the maximum zoom out is 100%. However currently it zooms way way out. I’ve asked and they brush me off so I no longer use the app despite buying premium.

아이패드와 갤럭시탭, 갤럭시 휴대폰을 가지고 있어서 한 가지 운영체계에서만 사용되는 앱보다는 양쪽 모두 사용되는 앱이 필요했습니다. 중국회사에서 만든 앱인 것으로 아는데, 중국 개발자들이 열정적인 걸로 알고 있어서 개인정보 보안 문제만 없다면 문제가 되지 않습니다. 다만, 기기를 옮겨다니며 사용하기에는 동기화가 안되는게 문제내요. 백업을 하고, 그것을 다시 클라우드에서 내려받아 복원하는게 번거로워서 사용은 못할 것 같지만, 구입은 해 두었습니다. 동기화 문제를 개선해 주세요.
