"I`m so disappointed because I can`t use an essential tool as the writing text or the highlight without paying for it. To sum up, this app is completely useless for me as a student. I was just looking for an app that allows me to take notes with all the essential tools required for free."

"Been my go-to for uni work, great for importing PDFs and writing on them, and decent detection for finger action vs pen. The pro service is worth it for importing PDFs, but I do not like that this is a subscription service. Would rather pay a larger lump sum than a longer subscription. Wish I could set the pen thickness to be constant no matter the zoom, also some bugs on Chromebook with finger actions not meshing with the pen very well."

"Crashes permanently on Chromebook. Used to be perfect, was so for years, but recently it just randomly closes, the export function is hit-and-miss at best and when trying to print to pdf, half the document is off the page. It`s unusable at the moment, which is a pity. If this can be sorted, I will happily give it a 5-star review. Until that, I`m unistalling."

"works well for taking written notes, which is the main reason I downloaded it. It would be much more useful if I could search the pdf`s that I import by word and if I could highlight the words and define them as I use the app for reading through school work as well."

"While I`m sure the free version is probably good enough for many people, the only reason I tried Squid was because I wanted the ability to fill out my own custom PDF forms. I`m fine with paying a one time fee for the pro version but asking for a monthly fee in perpetuity is total BS. The app resides on my device, not in the cloud, so this just seems silly to me - like renting the keys to your car. I know $1 a month is very little, but it`s the principle. No, thanks."

"The more I use this app the more I dislike it. Taking a picture from the app never works; I always have to import. The lack of ability to group has made some of my older notes garbage as text has moved over other written text. If I`m writing via stylus with my hand resting on the tablet the page moves as if I`m sliding it with my fingers."

"Definitely the best out of the note-takers for writing on Chromebooks with a stylus. There is virtually no lag while writing and the lines are clear and crisp and it beats the native Chromebook notetaker, so very impressive indeed. I`ve uninstalled the rest and made this my default note taking app."

DESCRIPTION
Take handwritten notes naturally on your Android tablet, phone, or Chromebook supporting Android apps! With Squid you can write just like you would on paper using an active pen, passive stylus, or your finger.
Easily markup PDFs to fill out forms, edit/grade papers, or sign documents. Import images, draw shapes, and add typed text to your notes. Quickly select, copy/paste, and move content between pages and notes. Organize your notes within notebooks and increase your productivity!
Turn your device into a virtual whiteboard or give presentations in a class, meeting, or conference by wirelessly casting to a TV/projector (e.g. using Miracast, Chromecast). Export notes as PDFs or images, then share them with others or store them in the cloud!
Squid is vector based - keeping your notes beautiful at any zoom level and on any device. You can erase entire letters and words quickly with the stroke eraser tool, or just parts of words with the true eraser tool. The selection tool allows you to change the color and thickness of your handwriting and even resize a drawing whenever you want without any loss in quality.
Squid takes special advantage of active pens on capable devices to provide natural, pressure-sensitive handwriting. Just write with the pen and erase with your finger!
Squid is designed to be both powerful and simple to use, allowing you to take notes quickly and efficiently.
