Has anyone here switched from Samsung Notes to StarNote?

Is there any real reason to use StarNote over Samsung Notes? I’m mainly curious about the writing experience — does the pen feel smoother, is the latency better, palm rejection better, etc.?

For those who’ve used both, which one do you actually prefer for everyday note-taking, and why?

I have 2 Samsung cell phones . A51 & A 54. I write notes on both . For instance, I started a note today about the days activities . I started a note and it appeared on the other phone which was great. Then I noticed that they were somehow different. Why did this happen? How do I prevent this?

I'd like to give you a quick glimpse of what the app looks like right now. It isn't available in the microstore just yet, but I'm planning the launch for the end of September. My question to you: is there anything you consider an absolute must-have in an app like this? Thanks in advance!

Kia Ora!

I'm struggling to figure out something with the notes app.

So, I'm a chronic writer, and have multiple physical notebooks for different moods, styles of writing, subjects ect. I also tend to make a lot of zines, so how the paper/writing looks matters to me, and I struggle to write if it's the "wrong mood" (yes, I DO have AuDHD, with OCPD thrown in for fun, lol).

I have the same in my notes app, and as I can't stand most of the template colours, I've got several different template backgrounds I've got set up. Some of them are images of aforementioned physical journals. However, where I fall down is the font, especially the font colour. I've yet to find a way to make the font details save for the template, and every time I start typing I forget I need to set the font colour first, so I spend forever trying to decide on the correct colour, and then I'm annoyed before I even start. This is especially annoying when I c/p, because I've got a genetic condition (CMT) that affects my hands, selecting can be tricky if I'm having a bad day.

Look, I'm absolutely aware this is a pretty daft problem, however if anyone HAS the solution, I'd be very happy!

Ultimamente estou com alguns problemas irritantes no samsung notes... algumas ferramentas não aparecem na toolbar, outras simplesmente não aparecem... não sei se é devido à alguma incompatibilidade do meu tablet, e o aplicativo já está atualizado. Fico triste, porque tem só uns 2 anos que comprei meu tablet e, pelo visto, já está incompatível com apps da própria Samsung. Tem muitas novas ferramentas úteis pelo que vi na internet e não consigo utilizar nenhuma

Title.

Just something I was thinking about recently.

I currently have a tab s7 (bought in 2021) and an s23 ultra (2023). Before the s23 I had an M series phone for a couple of years.

I've always loved the tab s7, particularly because of oneui and of course, the Notes app. I really love the convenience, versatility and sheer host of features it provides; that too for free. I've primarily used it for annotating books and making notes for med school.

The app has consistently improved year after year. Most new updates are great (barring a few like the new browser).

As for the s23 ultra, the oneui updates for it have been disappointing and kinda wonky at times, especially considering that it's a flagship phone. Not to mention that it's always scary whenever I update, because I have at least 4 people I know who own/owned a Samsung and they developed the dreaded green/pink lines.

The newer S series phones have also been pretty disappointing for the most part. No major upgrades despite price hikes. And the lines issue hasn't been fixed even with s25 models afaik.

It's difficult to consider paying a premium for a phone that might randomly develop a huge line down the middle of the screen in the future.

When I think about it, the only reason I'm not sure about buying a different Android phone is because of the Notes app. Of course, i have years worth of data saved in it; but also, no other Android notes app comes close to it.

Guys i have been making notes on the tab for a while but i was wondering how i could improve.. so it would be fun if you all could share some of your notes for design inspiration and also maybe help me organise better.

I use Samsung Notes across a Galaxy Book and other Samsung devices, and I've noticed the PC version genuinely lags behind the tablet/Android version in a few specific ways:

• No manual canvas/page rotation on PC — on tablet, you can naturally rotate the device while writing, which makes handwriting feel more comfortable. The PC version doesn't have this at all, which is rough if you're using a pen display or graphics tablet for long writing sessions.
• Toolbar layout is different and less flexible — on PC, the toolbar is fixed to one side and can't be moved, whereas the Android version lets you position it differently. The pen icons on PC also look like they're from an older version of the app.
• Covers aren't consistent across devices — covers I set on my tablet/phone don't show up or aren't available on the PC version.

It's frustrating because Samsung markets the S Pen + Notes experience as a unified ecosystem feature across Galaxy Book, Tab, and phone — but the actual app clearly isn't developed in lockstep. Feels like the PC version is playing catch-up rather than being a true equal.

Has anyone else run into this? Curious if these are known issues Samsung's aware of, or if there's a way to actually get feedback to the team beyond the community forums.

I held on to my Note 20 Ultra 5G for 6 years. The only reason I upgraded to S26 Ultra was because memory needed increase and phone had screen burn in. My Samsung notes did not all transfer. I have tried everything.

Can anyone offer advice? I am having issues with this new phone that I never had before. I am stressed out. I rely on Notes.

TU in advance.

L'altro giorno stavo cominciando a riprendere gli appunti di un alcuni corsi che ho seguito durante lo scorso semestre e mi sono ritrovato la cartella in cui avevo salvato le cartelle delle materie con gli appunti VUOTA. Ho controllato subito nel cestino e a quanto pare erano stati cestinati così dal nulla sia le cartelle in cui avevo i miei appunti, sia alcune cartelle a caso con note di esami che avevo già dato. Dunque escludo l'ipotesi di aver eliminato una macrocartella contenente tutte le note. Questo backup poi è andato a sincronizzarsi subito sui dispositivi che avevo collegato: telefono e laptop. Sono andato quindi a controllare il cloud e ripristinare le app, ma a quanto pare avere l'impostazione di sincronizzazione con il cloud attiva non mi ha creato alcun tipo di back up su quest'ultimo. Ho contattato assistenza e members, ma finora posso solo aspettare. Qualcuno ha qualche consiglio su cosa posso fare? Sto perdendo appunti di corsi abbastanza tosti che avevo in mente di preparare per la sessione di Settembre.

Hello guys! Since Notes doesn t have the feature of read aloud now, what app do you use for this task?

Or better, an app that let's you read on the samsung notes app so I don t have to move all my notes.

Thank you so much❤️

Is anyone else experiencing the same bug on Samsung notes as me? When I click full screen sometimes by tools bar just goes blank, I need to close the pdf and reopen it to get the tools bar back.
