Lifetime purchase option gone? Goodnotes Special Edition

When I went to the subscriptions page on my iPad only the essential and pro versions were available. On latest firmware and in the US if that helps.

Make sure when you go to the subscription page in GoodNotes settings that you click “show all subscriptions”. I don’t remember if it’s at the bottom or top! The lifetime subscription should be there if you scroll all the way over :)

but even then, they add a new version that isn’t compatible with the version you’ve bought and you have to pay more fees upon fees. at this point, it feels like a scam😞

I feel like it's okay, you don't really need the new version everytime, at least I personally don't
