GoodNotes 5 is now available as a universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This means that if you purchase the app on one platform, it will be a free download on the others.

To offer the universal purchase, we had to create a new Mac version and integrate it with the version for iOS and iPadOS. The macOS version that we released in October 2019 is a separate app with an individual App Store record and we will remove it from sale to avoid confusions. You can continue using it but we highly recommend downloading the new App Store record of the mac app for free, if you already bought the iOS/iPadOS version. The old App Store record of GoodNotes for Mac won't receive any more updates or bug fixes.

If you recently purchased the legacy Mac version of GoodNotes, you can click here to check if you're eligible for a refund.
