  1. Full screen writing mode

    Full screen mode to maximize writing space. Have a little "-" sign that minimizes the toolbar into a tiny chevron symbol. You can restore the toolbar by double tapping the chevron symbol.

  2. 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.

  3. handwriting recognition and search functions

    I want to know if these functions are planned to be implemented in the near future... although it seems like no other android apps support these features as well, but when compared to other competitors in other platforms such as Goodnotes or Notability, lacking these features is quite disappointing.

  4. Swipe between pages in view-only (reading) mode

    I wish I could flip through pages instead of tapping the next page button during reading mode.

  5. Zoom window for writing

    Like in "good notes" for iPad, you could insert a zoom window witch allows you to write easier and faster. The good notes website describes it as followed:
    GoodNotes provides the zoom window to assist you to write in small size with your fingers or with capacitive styluses. Inside the zoom window contains a zoomed view corresponding to a rectangular area on a page.

  6. Insert audio recording and playback

    I like to record lectures as they are given and have several solutions for doing so. I'd love to see it as a unified function in a single app, and Papyrus is seriously one of my favorites. :)

    It’s still on our todo list to support this directly, but I wanted to mention that it’s currently possible to password protect a note in a roundabout way: by importing a password protected PDF into the note. This will password protect the note with the password of the PDF. You can even delete the PDF from the note and the password will remain on the note.

  8. Ability to change the background and line colors for all backgrounds

    I would like to be able to customize the lined paper without the use of external color-modifying/inverting software.

    Particularly, I'd like to see black paper with gray lines.

  9. Allow direct export or sync with Evernote

    It seems like Evernote only OCRs handwriting from image files, not PDFs.

  10. Add additional fonts and formatting options

    It would be great to have five or ten open source fonts available to choose from, plus the option to make words bold, italic, etc.

  11. PDF page orientation

    I receive a lot of PDF faxes through email and sometimes the faxes are upside down and there's no way for me to orientate the page without using a 2nd program please add an orientation option!

    You 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).

  14. Add own backgrounds (as PDF) to the backgrounds menu

    I would like to add my own backgrounds to the backgrounds menu by uploading a PDF which holds the background (e. g. a form I have to fill in regularly). It should be possible during the uploading dialog to give an individual name to the background and the uploaded own backgrounds should appear in a section My Backgrounds in the backgrounds menu.

  16. Insert/Remove vertical space

    When I take notes I frequently need to go back later to insert additional material at a specific place. It would therefore be very important to have the ability to create such space by moving all material below further down. You can find this well implemented in the Microsoft Journal software, for example, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IE/windows-vista/Format-a-Journal-note

  17. Mathematical tools

    These features include are

    1) Mathematical tools, such as compass, ruler and protractor with metric units

    2) The ability to insert a table or a grid to show a line graph or any other type of graph

    3) More types of clean lines, such as straight dotted lines, arrow lines, both of them together

  18. Lines

    There is a line feature - you draw a line (freestyle) and it become a straight line. A lot of apps have that feature.

  20. 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…
