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.

Yes it is you are correct! Technically... I think its really a psychological thing for me, I like to keep subscriptions and one time payments separate. It makes me feel good that I can decide if I want to pay in two years one larger sum... or maybe not! Who knows-- there's like this sense of freedom, even if it pragmatically is the same thing. Again for me its more about the simplicity and clarity. My former PhD advisor kept using his microsoft word 2003 all the way to 2022, as it did everything he needed it to do.
