Several popular apps have switched to subscription models in recent years as a way to stave off dwindling income after years of free updates, but some developers have taken a different and less divisive approach.įor example, just over a year ago the developers of popular paid-for camera app Halide released Halide Mark II as a whole new app, and gave it to all users of the original app for free, with all the new features and updates free for a year.

The other popular note-taking app for iOS and Mac that Notability is often compared to is GoodNotes, which remains available as a one-off $7.99 purchase on the App Store. The app has gained widespread popularity with students and teachers alike, as it includes a variety of note-taking, journaling, and drawing tools, and can be used to mark up imported documents. Notability has garnered an Apple Editors' Choice spot and is regularly a top-ranked app worldwide on the App Store. Benedict NovemAs many users have pointed out, on the face of it, the change appears to violate Apple's App Store Review Guidelines, which state 'if you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for.' We've reached out to both Notability and Apple for comment. Maybe you should have focused more on developing features, that users can use without paying for them, instead of just making more money. Now I feel bad about having them ripped in with me. Very disappointed there is no grandfathering in will be switching.Ĭongrats, I really loved notability and convinced multiple friends to purchase it. I happily paid for the Mac and iOS versions of Notability separately all the way back in 2015, and it's accompanied me through 3 degrees now.

Hi, just to get this straight: - I've purchased Notability - I've purchased Hamdwriting recognition (IAP) - I've purchased stickers & Notebooks (IAP) Now, in one year you'll force me into a subscription scheme to use functions I've already purchased (also Cloudsync) ?!!!Īstonished that is moving to a subscription model. Thousands of Notability users have taken to Twitter and Reddit to express their frustration with the unexpected change. After the year is up, you can choose to become an annual subscriber or use the free version of Notability. If you would like access to more premium content or technology like MyScript's Handwriting Recognition and Math Conversion, you may choose to subscribe at any point. You will continue to have access to any items or technology you previously purchased. You will be able to continue using Notability as you do now for the next year for free. Thank you for your support all these years. Addressed to those users, a Medium post from the Notability Blog explains: In other words, no grandfathering scheme is currently being offered.
