What happens to my Goodnotes access on my Samsung device if I don't renew my membership?

If you choose not to renew your Goodnotes membership, you'll still be able to use Goodnotes as a free user on your device. You can create and edit up to three notebooks. You will not be able to share your documents. You'll be able to import documents up to 5MB and lose the access to regular free items from the Marketplace. Note that any documents you export will also have a watermark.

Can I change my plan when I renew?

Absolutely! At renewal time, you can either stick with All Platforms Yearly plan or switch to Android, Windows, & Web Yearly plan. If you are also using Goodnotes on iOS devices, we recommend renewing your current All Platforms Yearly plan.

Can I keep using Goodnotes after my membership expires?

Yes, you can! Your notes will remain safe, and you'll still be able to open and review your previous documents. However, as a free user, you'll be limited to creating and editing up to three notebooks, won't be able to share your documents, can only import documents smaller than 5MB, and any exports will have a watermark.
