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.

the $20 app I bought is ok but not as good at this one. 1. limited sticker options and covers in app 2. no option to import more than one file at a time. I thought about this app before but was unsure. now I wish I hadn't spent the $20 for the other guy lol a few things I wish this app could do is have the option to enlarge the button sizes bc my eyesight isn't great and also had more brush options. other than that it's a great app
