This app is barely usable for android users. It's lagging (both when writing and zooming in) even tho I have a new device and suddenly stops showing you your notes in your own document (however they are visible for my friend whom I share the document with). Recently I've been having problems with my notes not wanting to sync when back online and lo and behold, it doesn't even show the syncing option in settings... 🥲

I was using goodnotes 5, and I am good with it without having additional features in 6. So, I already have goodnote5 in other devices, and I would like to use 5 in my additional device(android phone). However, it is keep on forcing me to subscribe to the plan. I don't want plan, and I just want to use my goodnotes5 in this device too since I paid for it before. How can I use it?

signed up to the 3 month free trial have the email to confirm but when I logged on using the same email address asks me to pay or sign up to a 7 day trial which defeats the object of the 3 month and I can't get it on my phone so have to use my tablet.
