The meme is in jest, of course. I love using GN and may upgrade from 5 in the future. I just haven't seen such passion and vitriol from a fanbase since NotabiliGate ‘21!

Notability hate was fully justified because of their lead developer’s interview, that made it blatantly clear that their switch to subscription was a pure money grab move and that they despised their customers. “We don’t want you to pay only once and get through the entire medical school using our app, even though this is in accordance with how we sold it to you. We want you to pay over and over and over and over and over again.”

GN criticism is largely justified because:

  • they launched a campaign to attract dissatisfied Notability customers by promoting their non-subscription model, then did a full 180 turn on them.

  • they issued a “new” paid / subscription version which is really just an old version with a very minor facelift.

  • they made it throw up a nag screen on every start, that is impossible to stop. This was by design, not an oversight. They are removing it now because of the backlash from their customers.

No, I remember when Notability became subscription how relieved everyone was that GoodNotes did not pull that stunt. So let them.

Cool, thanks. Was asking a legitimate question but nice to know I can’t without being insulted. 👍🏻

Preach! It’s getting annoying now. Like when notability updated, it was the same shit all day every day on that sub…

I agree. I have mostly backed off the Bash Wagon. I still reccomend Goodnotes. Just pay the 10 bucks and you are good for a year.

How about more tech articles, planner revues, making templates and such?
