How to Upgrade to Goodnotes 6 On Your iPad

Step 1: Visit Goodnotes Website 🌐

First, head over to the Goodnotes website. You will notice three different pricing options displayed prominently on the page. However, you won't be able to upgrade or sign up directly from the website.

This is because the upgrade process requires you to download the app on your device.

Step 2: Download Goodnotes 6 on iOS 📲

Once on the website, you'll see options to download Goodnotes for iOS, Windows, or Android. Click on the iOS download option to proceed.

You'll be redirected to the App Store where you can download the app.

Step 3: Open Goodnotes 6 📂

After downloading, open the Goodnotes app. It might still be labeled as Goodnotes 5, which can be confusing.

To verify the version, click on the gear icon and select 'About'. This will display the version number.

Step 4: Check Version Number 🛠️

If your app shows Goodnotes 5 but with a version number like 6.2.7, you are on the right track. This indicates that you have the correct app but need to upgrade within it.

If you are using an older version like Goodnotes 4, make sure to update to the latest version.

Step 5: Navigate to Documents 📑

Within the app, head over to the 'Documents' section on the left side of the screen. Here, you will notice a small circle with a number 6 in it.

This is your gateway to upgrade to Goodnotes 6.

Step 6: Click on the Circle 6 🔄

Click on the circle with the number 6. A prompt will appear asking if you want to proceed to Goodnotes 6. Confirm your choice.

You will be required to sign in with your Apple account to continue.

Step 7: Sign In to Apple Account 🛡️

Sign in using your Apple ID credentials. This is necessary to link your purchase and subscription to your account.

After signing in, you will need to agree to the terms and services.

Step 8: Choose Your Subscription Plan 💳

Once inside, you can opt for a 7-day free trial or go directly to the subscription plans. I chose the annual subscription plan for $9.99 per year.

This plan offers access to Android, Windows, and potentially web in the future.

Step 9: Confirm Subscription 💼

Upon selecting your plan, you might see a discount offer. Confirm your subscription by clicking 'Subscribe Now'.

The charge will go through the App Store, linked to the card on file.

Step 10: Final Confirmation ✅

After subscribing, you will receive a confirmation note indicating that your upgrade is successful. Click 'Okay' to finalize.

Congratulations! You now have access to Goodnotes 6 on your iPad.
