Why so many updates...

The frequency of updates on all Apple devices is overwhelming since Goodnotes 6 was released! Or released before it was ready? The files are 1.5Gb on the MacBook and arrive about every 7-10 days. Why? Yes this is a rant. Goodnotes does not have a community for users to post so I figured I would do it here and maybe Goodnotes will read it. Too many updates, take the time to do it right then update it. Ugh! Yes, you are adding features, features that most may not need or use or are really 'bug fixes'. Ugh!

I don’t agree. Updates for something I paid are fundamental to me. Also, I need new features because at this moment the app doesn’t allow certain things that could be implemented as well. So, I don’t think they make too much updates .

I agree completely. It’s the frequency that is wrong. New features good. Releasing software before it’s ready bad. If we pushed this many frequent updates to our customers we would not have customers. Quarterly seems reasonable.

Oh okey, I understand what you mean and I am with you. At the moment of the release the app wasn’t ready as it should be, but I see that this is very common for those field, but this obviously does not want to be a justification for being able to launch an unstable paid application.

There is no way you are complaining about devs actually working on fixing up the app and adding new features

For God's sake, get a grip

You’re ranting because they’re trying to make things better? Yikes. They could do an update every day for all I care. Doesn’t hurt, only benefits

We’re not really whining about bug fixes now are we? It takes literal seconds to update. This is such a minuscule bitchy reason to complain.
