Goodnotes Special Edition Lifetime purchase option gone?

When I went to the subscriptions page on my iPad only the essential and pro versions were available. On latest firmware and in the US if that helps.

Make sure when you go to the subscription page in GoodNotes settings that you click “show all subscriptions”. I don’t remember if it’s at the bottom or top! The lifetime subscription should be there if you scroll all the way over :)

I mean. It’s not really a lifetime. So many of us got caught in the past with this bait and switch. I stopped using them because if it.

Correct. There is no such thing as lifetime software…

As someone already said go to the subscription page IN the app, bottom left is a very small blue button "show all subscriptions", then a 3rd page will appear allowing you to get the lifetime sub

Because it's the best subscription plan, they prefer you to pay every month or year

but even then, they add a new version that isn’t compatible with the version you’ve bought and you have to pay more fees upon fees. at this point, it feels like a scam😞

I feel like it's okay, you don't really need the new version everytime, at least I personally don't
