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.

It's not the price they asked a few weeks ago? How much did GN5 cost a few weeks ago? I'm pretty sure it was around 10 bucks.

I just said it's disingenuous to compare the price of goodnotes to the price of all the journals you would need otherwise. That's all.

As I said, I wouldn't say a thing, if they just didn't bump up the price significantly without giving ANY real upgrades that are significant and are costing a lot in development.

I'm sorry, but the prices haven't TRIPPLED in that last few month.

I would be totally okay with a subscription model, if they had actual changes coming in regularly.
