Don't want a note app that can't hold a note. Purchased Starnote app on August 31, 2025. POOF! Starnote made me sign in again on September 3 with the SAME email address. My account and all of my work of the previous 2 days was gone. It was supposed to be saved on my phone's memory. Then, they wanted me to pay again. If it worked, it was a good app. But, if you're going to wipe out my account, particularly after I paid, then I need to go elsewhere for my notetaking.

Wow, its fast and I love that the UI is nice and small on mobile, so it doesn't take away from the canvas. It looks like basically everything is free altho does have notebook limit tho. Thank u so much for this tool, absolutely amazing. 🥹❤️ Feature request that would make it even better: backlinking between notes even on the infinite canvas, would be very nice. An SVG export for the canvas. Low add-on purchases like adding a couple notebooks to limit, at a lower price for who cant afford full.

This is my first time using a digital note-taking app, and I’m really happy I upgraded to premium because it gives me unlimited notebooks! As someone who loves calligraphy, I enjoy the beautiful pens that make practice more fun. I hope future updates add audio-to-text, and more stickers🥺. Overall, it’s a 10/10 for me—super easy to use and highly recommended for students like me 🫶🏻💗 Thank you for creating the Starnote app!😩🩷
