Comments on Squid: Take Notes, Markup PDFs for Android

★★★★★ James Campbell · Jul 12, 2025
2025 Two years now. Still a great app. 2023 I have been using it with my note 9 for a couple of months now. It's made taking survey notes in the field much more neat and organized. I'm using the app with note 23 now. Still is a great PDF app for your phone. I tried adobe 7 day free trial, even if it was going to cost 99 per year. I really love adobe dc on my pC. But it was just too hard to learn the mobile version. Oh and squid cost pennies compared to adobe.

💗💗💗💗💗 PLZ ADD the awesome *FOUNTAIN PEN* of INCREDIBLE PRO APK to ur app. Tnx
★★★★★ Menassie Ephrem · Jun 25, 2025
Excellent app for writing. I take all my notes on Squid. I teach at a university, this is the app I used to teach online classes and make YouTube videos for my students.
★★☆☆☆ Satish Verma · Dec 12, 2025
Pen options are very limited, only two types. More tools like a Chinese brush should be added. No option to upload custom page templates for new pages. Shape options are also few; more shapes and smart shape tools are needed. Good app but these features must improve.
★☆☆☆☆ Gabriel Gustavõ · Mar 13, 2026
I feel thus could be a great app.but why in the world is it premium to (text) notes...that makes no common sense I mean if I wanted a drawing app I'd get flippy clip but this says "take notes" and I gotta come outside pocket for it...like at least mabyee a better version with other upgrades but taking notes dude??
★☆☆☆☆ Govtofindia BHARATSARKAR · Mar 5, 2026
App maker please give permission import the PDF so that solve question on PDF and erasing by finger without buy
★☆☆☆☆ John Lieske · Dec 17, 2025
I just tried this app on my e-ink tablet. The app itself has a lot of the features I've been looking for & has a very clean interface. However, when I came across the desire for a feature that must be paid for I found out that the only way to get the premium features is to pay a subscription. I immediately uninstalled the app. I refuse to be tied to a subscription, & recommend to any artist (professional or otherwise) to avoid subscription whenever possible. Too bad that greed got in the way
