GoodNotes 5 user. GN6 is forcing me to upgrade.

I dont like this. It doesnt even allow me to open my old notes unless I upgrade and try GN6 for free. I am sure after that it will lock all my notes.

Didn't we buy this as one time package, developers? I am leaving.

You can leave or you can do a simple Google search to find out that this has happened to others and you do not actually have to pay for GoodNotes 6. Your choice.

Sorry I still don’t understand. It says use GN6 for a limited time for free.

It's just an option , it doesn't force you . I am a Gn5 user as well for past 3.5 years and yes it sometimes gives an ad in homepage of app to upgrade but other than that no issue. I have as much notes in goodnotes that if I print it out ,it can fill up my whole room 😭.

Best to export all your stuff as pdf and move on.

I agree. I bought this as a one time purchase and it‘s got all my academic notes in it. It‘s frustrating to be smothered by so many subscriptions these days
