Version 4.2.1-GP
Love itLove this app! It's great for school on my tablet with a stylus. There are a couple things I wish it had off the top of my head though. I with it could identify what I wrote with my stylus and translate that to text. Also, if it can do that I'd also like it to be able to make what I write searchable like searching a normal PDF. The file system was a much needed upgrade and is very appreciated. Again I absolutely love this app even without those features.

Version 4.2.1-GP
Love itI've been using Squid for years and have been pleased overall with it! It's been great for both academic and professional uses. One feature I hope to see is the ability to organize individual notes. I consistently work on very long PDF files that themselves have chapters and I wish I could break up the note into 'chapters' for easier navigation. I love it though!

Version 3.10.3.1-GP
BugsIt is overall pretty awesome and has features that I can't find on other note-taking apps. The biggest drawbacks are 1.) content does not sync between my devices and 2.) there is some sort of glitch that occurs when using the app where it freezes. l just have to touch the screen with 2 fingers to fix it, but when you're doing that every few minutes or so, it's disruptive.
