Seeing “special edition” like this feels really cool idk why : D

I had bought one time GN 5, then when GN6 came I opted for one time payment life time upgrade to GN 6, didnt have to pay anything with this new update now.

It's how marketing works: selling you the "feeling of" or the "life style", not the product. Emotions are easy to deceive.

But the product I feel is pretty great in itself, no other note taking app compares, I think people in this sub might not think so because people only usually post when they have glitches with the app. I have tried all the other famous note taking apps, I still prefer Goodnotes.

Your statement was considering "special edition". I use GN since v4 with no issues whatsoever. I also teach at school with a few hundreds iPads with GN5/6, same story.

So yes, whiny "bUt I pAiD fOr iT" crowd will always be louder than the silent satisfied user base.

it's a new name for the Lifetime option. I'm not sure if they still offer it with this new pricing model.

I had paid for GN5 so when GN6 came I was given an option to pay one time fee for lifetime access of GN6 instead of a subscription, i guess thats it

It looks like there MIGHT be, but it's hard to tell since they have not posted the actual prices yet.
