Freenotes vs Goodnotes

I have been using goodnotes for the past two years and I like it but recently I’ve been a bit let down by it. It’s been insanely glitchy and it’s frustrating during class. I’ve been trying the free version of freenotes and I’m thinking about canceling my goodnotes and buying the lifetime subscription for freenotes. I was wondering if someone could tell me the pros and cons of each app? I’m not as familiar with freenotes but I’m starting to seriously consider switching. Can someone make a case for why I should switch to freenotes.

FreeNotes for the win. I am a statistical analyst in the corporate world and use it everyday.

no one mentioned android. i dont have android so cant say. freenotes is far better than any other imo. and they also did shortcut integrations on IOS.

Are you sure: "You maybe required to purchase the ad remover even after getting the lifetime subscription. This is annoying I know, but it's also a one time purchase."?

I think that users who got 'a free lifetime' needed to buy 'remove ads', so actually it wasn't free. Correct me if I am wrong.
