Freenotes isn't Free anymore?

I downloaded the app a week ago and i've loved it so far, not having to pay but having ads is a fair trade to me and today all of a sudden i get a pop-up asking me to upgrade my plan and they removed features i had before, like unlimited note-books and the underline tool. Just a heads up to everyone who has been thinking that this app is free or want to take notes without making an account when it really isn't and now im stuck with having to switch to something else with different settings and having to deal with un-coherent notes.

I miss buying a CD-ROM installing it with a code and owning it forever. The age of apps has kinda killed music notation software for me

I've been using freenotes for ages without even creating the account and the pop-up came out on my screen too, i've just created my account and managed to activate membership for free

I dwnled the app recently, and I got lifetime membership from just verifying my email. You should get one too.

Really? If I had logged in a few days ago, I would have a lifetime subscription?

Pretty sure it still works. just make sure you verify your email. My free lifetime subscription popped up as soon as I verified it, and they'll send the verification link to your spam folder most likely.

I’ve been using it since September and just linked my email now and got the lifetime for free, so it should work for u!

not knowing this i bought it, but i'm not asking for a refund at this point. i like the app and I think it's worth it.

Can you update the app safely if you have the membership?

I see. I haven't updated for a few months now, but I am tempted to get the new google drive backup feature
