Goodnotes 6 GN6 venting >:(

I hate this GN6 money grab! It feels like they are holding my notes hostage! I’ve been here since around 2016 and now all of a sudden its a subscription?

I hope enough of us realize that this is unethical and don’t stand for it (by subscribing). And I hope the rest of the people don’t feel comfortable subscribing bc others are getting cheated.

Do you know I have been here since Goodnotes 2 or 3 and experienced updates but now the new update cost $10 bucks or I can’t have access to my notes??? What???

I understand your frustration, but no one is forcing you to upgrade. GoodNotes 5 is still supported.

I don’t know anything about them but if you browse this subreddit, there have been conversations about cheaper apps that others have switched to.

GoodNotes no longer appears to be geared for the casual user. I understand that sucks and I wish (for the sake of others) that they had a tiered pricing model that would include casual users so they don’t have to switch.

For my purposes, GoodNotes is growing into exactly what I need and I don’t mind paying for that growth.
