FAQ about GoodNotes for Mac:
Q: I have purchased the iOS version, why do I have to buy the Mac version again?
A: Due to the way of the App Store works, there is no way to bundle an iOS and a Mac version. Furthermore, the development work for both versions is different and developing a Mac version requires a lot of additional work because the code can‘t be easily shared across platforms.
Q: Can I install the Mac app on my other Macs after purchasing it?
A: Yes, you can install the Mac app on any of your other MacOS devices as long as you‘re signed in to the same AppleID.
Q: Why can‘t I use a feature in the Mac version that works on iOS?
A: With both apps we try to take advantage of the individual operating systems and the devices they‘re running on. That is why the feature set not congruent across versions. However, we‘re planning to add more features to the Mac version in the near future.
Q: How can I sync my documents across my devices?
You‘ll need to sign in to the same iCloud account on all of your devices and activate “Use iCloud“ in the iOS version under Options > Settings > iCloud. For more information on how to use iCloud, please check out the iCloud section in our help center.
