With Goodnotes 6 being released, it now is a subscription instead of a flat payment. I am looking for a replacement app that is not subscription based. I have tried onenote and really did not care for it. Notability is one that i have seen suggested, use it a single payment?
Not as far as I know. You can keep your version 5 access if you previously had it.
If something different is being communicated now, I could be wrong, but that was the message originally.
