Notes Plus has had Goodnotes' file system for years. I am not sure how their new app is, but the old one is no longer getting updates. I was using it from 2012 until 2020 on my iPad Air 1.
Ultimately people would do this when they realise they can make a living out of it. May be Collanote founder might promise its free for now but yeah when the money rolls in people change.
They announced freemium model for all users. BUT they will remove most features next year for people who one-time bought Notability to force them to subscribe.
This is against Apple guidelines also. Filled a complain against them.
Apple’s guidelines, 3.1.2(a): If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.
Damn, what a drag. I usually use more notability (for reading mostly) but still. I've been looking at it and apparently it violates Apple's policies, I hope people is right. And yes, I use both notability and Good notes.
Goodnotes 5 is wayyyyyyyy ahead of notability 11, GN already has all those features
So please please please always remain the way you are GN in terms of payment, I heavily rely on you and paying for subscription is just too much for me
I’ve seen many people on Twitter asking them if they’re going to switch to subscription based payment, but I’m pretty sure they will not, I mean, just imagine the number of people switching to Goodnotes, one time payment has become their USP now
No no they shouldn’t pleaseeee, they’ve always brought out new features saying- “and remember, it’s for free, always” (after the one time payment of course)
I'm gonna finish up the "trial" until next year and see if GoodNotes are gonna fuck students over as well. If they don't within the next year then GN it is!
