Suggestion 1 is a good idea, we'll update the title to show how many pages there are. Suggestion 5 is already done, and has full Apple Pencil support which includes an eraser.

The other stuff is likely to be overkill for what is intended to be a simplistic notepad. However, have you used the Quick Notes function on newer iPads? It's a separate facility, part of the operating system, that can be brought up on top of any app such that you can still see the app behind. It's a dedicated note-taking function and may suit your needs better than SkyDemon's own scratchpad, particularly is persistence of the notes is desired.

I'm still on an older IOS./device but i'll have a play with and report back if it fills the gaps for points 2-4. Cheers

Annoyingly, QuickNote is not available on iPad Mini4.

It does seem quick note would address some of the things I mentioned below (persistence and split view).

However is there any equivalent for Android to keep those weirdos happy too?

I think the only thing that’d be good is to consider scratchpad only swiping half the screen and to cater for left/right handed use.

Yes, there is. As I have posted previously, it is called Simpleaf and is available on the Play Store. It has a transparency mode so that it can be opened on top of the chart and still see the chart through it and it can be set up to open by dragging down from the notification area. It has pagination, two pen colours, adjustable pen thickness, an eraser, and a background grid (optional in settings) and notes persist until you decide to delete them. The one thing it doesn't have, unfortunately, is palm rejection. Otherwise a useful tool.
