Post-it function to add notes into small spaces on imported documents
I often use Squid to mark up papers and reports. However, in text-heavy documents there is often very little white space left on the page to add notes. Therefore a facility to add an expandable Post-it Note would be a very useful feature.

Home screen widget for quick view of note
A home screen widget that would let you view a note and quickly open it to edit it.
262 votesYou can add a shortcut to your Home Screen to open a specific notebook (see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1179331) or to create a new note in a specific notebook (see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1179328).
It does not appear to be possible to create a widget that allows for taking handwritten notes directly on the Home Screen (due to the fact that you need to be able to swipe left/right to get to different pages on your Home Screen). Please vote here if you’re interested in a widget that shows a particular note on your Home Screen (and allows you to open it quickly to edit it).

Allow cloud backups to work on a note-by-note basis (incremental backups)
Currently, cloud backup saves one single file to my Dropbox account. If I have a few large notes (containing annotated photos, for example) my database can quickly get HUGE, and every backup session takes forever (or fails, very frequently). It would be great if Squid could do incremental backups so only new or updated notes will be uploaded to the cloud.
219 votesA major update to the automatic backup support in Squid is coming! Backups will be created at the note level, meaning only the notes that are created or edited since the last backup will be uploaded to the cloud. This will make backups MUCH faster and more reliable.
We've been piloting this along with backup to Google Drive with schools over the last several months. We still have a few more things to do before we roll it out to Beta. This has been a long time coming, so thanks for your patience, and we're really excited to get your feedback!

Improve stylus style to be like s-notes
Basically, copy the style/feel of the s-note software which is so much better than what we currently get with squid. Let me explain.
Squid uses the pressure sensitivity of the stylus to control the width of the line only. S-note uses the pressure for the width and the opacity of the line. This results in having a better feeling when drawing multiple lines over one another. Important also, squid uses a width range that is too big. This means that when I'm writing something the size of the letters may vary so much that it gets unreadable. Therefore I usually…

More Pens + New Fonts
Now I have premium, I was disappointed to see that there was still only one pen option. It would be nice if we could have other pens, pencils etc.
Also new fonts would be nice.188 votes -

Ability to choose other cloud services that we wish, public and/or private
While dropbox and box are a step forward, why not just. Allow Squid users to be able to choose whatever cloud services they wish whether public or private cloud service.
I personally don't like dropbox or box services they are very limited in how you can choose what folders files are stored in.

Quite an obvious feature.

To open multiple books at once.
We often need to switch between books or notes. It would be great if we could open 2/3 books at once and to switch between them using tabs or something.
Book page thumbnails should be accessible more easily like by sliding the left margin ,so we can easily switch between pages.134 votes -
