    Comments about Noteshelf as an Alternative to Squid

    I was a long time user of Squid because I had trouble finding another decent alternative on android. But Noteshelf has changed the game on android handwritten notes apps. Try it. It's a one time payment if you tried it and you want to go back to squid you can ask for a refund. But I promise you, you will not want to go back to Squid.
