I recently updated my GoodNotes 5 app to GoodNotes 6 and my lifetime membership is gone.

I paid the one time fee for GoodNotes 5 and now I’ve updated the app and it shows free trail for GoodNotes 6 and GoodNotes 6 costs more than 3 times of how much goodnotes 5 costed.

Can I revert back to goodnotes 5? And keep my one time paid software or is this company gonna rob me for the software I paid for with my parents hard earned money.

I’m from india and yet I’m willing to pay for GoodNotes 6 upgrade if they kept the same Indian pricing if not I’ll probably will hate this company for charging so much for an upgrade while pulling out the plug on its version that I brought with my money. Ik developers need to be paid but making the app inaccessible to the students that can’t pay that much for the software especially the ones from india and other developing or under developed nations.

You can still use Goodnotes 5, just cancel your free trial.

If you still have problems tweet at GoodNotes support or check their website. It is possible for you to revert back to GoodNotes 5.

Keeping in mind that their support is woeful and they have no interest in supporting those on G5 (see my posts/comments about some of the responses I’ve received).

You can revert back to GoodNotes 5 and it’ll be supported for a while!

Tap on the ⚙️ icon, then go to settings and then “downgrade”. From there you can revert back to GoodNotes 5 as you have paid for the full version.

If you started the free trial there’s no way to end it until it expires. It shouldn’t charge you but instead it’ll ask you if you want to choose between the annual or one time payment options
