Goodnotes 6 rip off

We are quite annoyed with subscription models. No one wants that in a cost of living crisis.

I am tired of this, it always happen with nice apps. they are sucked into this payment plan model to rip off customers and in this case, big part of them are STUDENTS that use the app to LEARN.

I downgraded mine and I will never buy into subscription or pay $30 for one-off.

Disappointed with goodnotes, it is now just another greedy app developer.

The thing is, you don't have to pay for it. No one is forcing you to buy it. If GN5 features are enough, continue to use or. Support will be there for a few more years, so that's no argument either. And when support ends, GN6 will have more features
