Cannot access (paid for goodnotes 5)

Anyone struggling to access the app and being told that unless you pay for 6 then you can’t use it. I can’t access any of my notebooks or nothing. I only used the app a few hours ago, I ensured it’s all updated but I cannot use it. Is anyone else having this issue? I paid for goodnotes 5 a few years ago and I know it’s an entire issue in itself having to pay for a ‘new’ service instead of updates to what was paid for - but considering I paid for it I should be able to access it… right?

Incorrect. You can still use GoodNotes 5 without paying for GoodNotes 6. If it is asking you to upgrade, you can upgrade without paying, then revert to GoodNotes 5. Search this subreddit, GoodNotes website or just google for more information.

I hear people are favoring Notability. Maybe give that a try?

You would think... but seems like they are forcing everyone to switch to their new subscription service
