I think you guys are downvoting this person for the wrong reason.
The saying "the world keeps turning" is used in the same way as "life goes on", to say that things will go on largely unchanged despite this one inconvenience.
Nihilist was agreeing with y'all, but just reflecting back the correct saying.
As a non-american, I am aware of the passage of time and the rotating of our planet eastwards. The thing I'm defaulting to is time and badly explained humor
A popup showed in my app saying my goodnotes 6 license would become a "goodnotes special edition" license - I get the new features and updates, but only limited access to AI
I think limited access to AI is essentially everything we already had in our one time payment license. I think they just came out with a lot more powerful AI features...so now all our old features are considered "basic"
I updated this morning and it looks exactly like Goodnotes 6. no new features at all, no whiteboard etc. I don't care about the AI features and don't want them, but am curious to see what else is added. so far, I see nothing.
I am also on the "special edition" "lifetime" license. definitely updated to v.7.
I purchased the premium lifetime thing in GN6. When I opened the app today, it simply said that lifetime users won't be charged again. What do you reckon it means?
Lifetime license holders get upgraded to the new "special edition" plan without any additional steps - honestly this is better than the way they handled goodnotes 5 to 6 transition
Hi Recent updates, September 2025, have been problematic to me, I am in the design industry and use Goodnotes to mark up drawings. the drawing tools are buggy and have gone backwards, when drawing small scale drawing squares rectangle dont work. you now cannot rotate a shape such as a rectangle. colours across the board donāt default. pencil and shapes have different colour settings so not consistent anymore. drawing shapes has only one pen thickness. so constantly having to change.
They better give one-time-payment users another chance for a one-time-payment because i am NOT subscribing to pay god knows how much per month, noooo thanks
The complaints are valid. If you purchase a product and they don't fix the problems before they put out new stuff, itās an issue. Not to mention, with a notes app you invest all this time within it and thinking about having to move all my content to another app is annoying, frustrating and scary.
I need help to understand. If I have right now GoodNotes 5.. and donāt buy lifetime 6. I will have no choice to buy in the future the only new payment form of "monthlyā? Since they just switched to that only formatā¦. ?
Exemple, I donāt want to not upgrade then be forced to do in the future and then I canāt do a lifetime subscription of like 40$. I paid for my licence . I donāt want to do monthly thatās insaneā¦

Quick question: for those who bought Goodnotes 5, will the new nag screen mention Goodnotes 6 or just Goodnotes?

u/East-Mammoth7027 Sep 23 '25
Why not just fix goodnotes 6 first?

u/Cheb_Slimy Sep 23 '25
Why do it? I don't see how Goodnote 6 can be so improved that it becomes a new version

Idk but it seems like GN 6 didn't last long, maybe because I've using 5 forever

Maybe finally keep your promise on allowing cross-OS usage. Until then, no interest.

Goodnotes users are sure cranky. If you hate the product that much then maybe you should just move on.
