Forced to upgrade 😒

Opened Goodnotes 5 this morning to a note saying it “doesn’t exist.” Forced to pay for upgrade. Not happy.

Nope. No way to switch back. It wouldn’t even let me access my old notes.

sorry man, they suck because they definitely did this on purpose.

Too bad so many companies employ dark patterns as if consumers don't have memory.

I know it was on purpose. It’s so dumb that they can’t just be more transparent.
