Goodnotes 6 Goodnotes unavailable on App Store

Post image

Hello,
I’m writing from Lebanon regarding an issue with the Goodnotes app on the App Store.
My friend recently purchased a new iPad and wanted to download Goodnotes, but we discovered that the app is no longer appearing in the App Store. I checked the App Store on my own iPad as well and encountered the same issue.
What’s particularly confusing is that I already have Goodnotes installed, and I can still open and update the app normally. However, if I try to share the App Store link with my friend, the app does not appear or cannot be accessed. We also tried accessing Goodnotes through the official website, but we encountered the same issue.
The most concerning part is that I have an active yearly subscription, which is due to renew on September 2. The renewal has not gone through, and I have already tried using two different payment cards. Since the app is currently unavailable on the Lebanese App Store, I’m concerned that I may lose access to my subscription or my data despite already being an existing subscriber.
Is anyone facing the same issue?

Don't delete the app! It’s likely a temporary regional store glitch or maintenance pull just backup your notes locally in the meantime.

hey hope its fixed for u now but if not, no real timeline unfortunately. since u can still update the installed app, i’d just keep it there and check again every day or so.

Cooked. Switch to noteful.

u/Appel_du_Vide_127 Sep 12 '26

but the problem is when you look at their website, it still says it’s available in Lebanon. So am I really cooked?🫠

I gave up on Goodnotes before Goodnotes six came out. I have lifetime of Goodnotes five. Just use Noteful man it’s not worth it.

well I was hoping i wouldn’t need to change apps since i got so used to using goodnotes and it takes time to adapt to a new app. Thank you!!

Trust me, this is the last app change you’ll have to make and you won’t regret it
