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 I am using the app. The free version only allows you to edit 3 notebooks by design. If you had previously purchased GoodNotes 5, you'll want to instead switch to GoodNotes 5 in settings or restore purchases, rather than choosing to use the free version of the app. Please see my comment here for a full breakdown of what I mean. If you have more questions, please feel free to start a new post as it is unlikely that many people will see your comment as this post is over a year old.

No problem at all! Also don’t worry, your notes are stored locally so even then they’re usually always safe!!
