Comments about Squid: Take Notes, Markup PDFs Android Version

I would rate it 5 stars because it's actually a great app, but due to the lack of a "search function" when working with PDFs, this is actually a very basic feature that seems to be ignored for ages on the feedback side, it's in between "ok" and "good". I really consider quitting my subscribtion.

EDIT( Thanks for the response. I already voted for the feature, i just hope this is available asap. I know it's hard with that many requests so i just created a DropBox Account for the time. A local manual Backup is not an option, as i want/need automatic backups. Still, great App!) Really nice note taking App, coming from the competition. Although a Drive Backup Option would make it the best! THANK YOU for this App

Love it but it syncing between devices is arduous and unreliable. You have to remember which one to restore from that you were on last etc. It's a shame the app doesn't sync changes on its own.. lost work, and decided to uninstall as I don't have time to be trying to figure it out any more. Also not having continuous pages is not ideal. The writer ng feature is great though and if you don't have different projects and different devices you regularly switch between it would probably be great.
