한글 받치 분리현상 해결해 주세요

마진노트, 굿노트 등 여러개의 노트를 유료로 사용하고 있습니다. 최근 유튜브에 스타노트가 좋다고 해서 구입했습니다. 그런데 한글 텍스트 타이핑 시 받침이 분리되어 제데로 한글이 입력되지 않습니다. 해결이 필요합니다. 시급한 문제입니다. 또한 한글 검색이 잘 되지 않습니다. 이 두가지가 해결되면 다른 사람들에게도 추천할 수 있는데 지금은 이 것 때문에 추천이 어렵네요.

이거 진짜 숨은맛집

다른 앱들은 구매유도, 광고때문에 짜증났는데 이건 구매유도, 광고가 없으니 매우 좋다. 공부할거면 이걸 쓰는게 최고의 선택일듯 하다.
사용해본 필기 앱 중에 가장 만족스럽다.

One of the best Note apps

Lower cost than most of the other note taking apps and has a great support team, I’ve had problems and they’ve given solutions everytime

Response from developer

Hi! You can go to More Settings in the top-right corner and turn on “Adaptive Strokes Width.” That should do the trick! Hope this helps!

Wonderful so far!

I really appreciate how feature packed it is and it’s so affordable, I have been recommending it to everyone I know because of this. I can’t wait for the future updates to be added. Would love to be able to zoom more than 1600% though, and maybe more eraser modes? Like one that erases more precise things, like how physical erasers work, just like a few nitpicks but I love the direction of the app so far, it’s so useful for classes and just personal notes for myself.
