I subscribed to Premium but couldn't select or copy text from exported PDFs. My subscription is now about to expire and the issue remains unresolved. The developer's response didn't address the problem at all and instead only explained how to cancel the subscription. Very disappointing support.

It is OK. However, I am stopping using it and moving over to Kindle scribe in large part because there is a latency when syncing between devices with Goodnotes, meaning that I will start writing on device 2 only to learn later on that device 1's notes didnt sync yet.... then both will sync at one and it has double writing on the one page and there is no way to read the mess nor pull out the new writing and put it on a page.
