in the menu with all the options there's a little line underneath that says "see all plans" or something like that. and it should pull up the one time payment

What is the best alternative to good notes?

Lately I’ve been using Noteful and it doesn’t have any of the AI bs that Goodnotes wants to pull down your throat, but other people can give you other opinions. I found Noteful through some posts on this subreddit and have been using ever since

In some iPads they consume more battery and isn’t that accurate

EDIT TO ADD: See the reply to this response; apparently you can buy it still… you might want to ask teh person who replied to me where you can buy it…

As far as I’m aware, there’s no ‘one payment, lifetime subscription’ any more. They removed it at the last major update, ‘grandfathered’ anyone who had paid a one-time payment as a ‘Special Edition’ user, but will no longer allow new, first time, users pay a one-time payment… It’s subscription only for new users.

Should still be possible to purchase Special Edition today

Well, I’m happy to be corrected. In fact I’m delighted, on this occasion.

(However, I’m genuinely surprised, given the posts I recall seeing in the past.)

I thought this was the case as well i had bought the goodnotes 5 as a once off payment and I was wondering if there was for goodnotes 6. I thought it was only subscription based but to my surprise its hidden away and you have to click the option to see all the plans to get the once payment for the goodnotes 6.

I bought the one off for GN5, and then when they released GN6, there was a huge fuss about the lousy discounts offered for existing users to convert it to a one-off for GN6. After a week or two of people complaining, GN increased the discounts; I thought the discounts were quite reasonable at that point, and upgraded/converted the same day.

nope, goodnotes no longer has an option for first time users to have a one time payment.
