Version 1.8.0 Release Notes

SpringNotes is now free to download with a Note count limit of 15(including Notes in the trash) so you can now try SpringNotes before deciding if it is right for you.

If you have already paid for SpringNotes prior to this version don't worry, you are entitled to all current and future features and updates at no additional cost 😀

The reason we have moved over to this model is that we want people to be able to try SpringNotes and appreciate it’s power and unique features before deciding if it is right for them.
Most features are available in the free version with additional premium features and a note count unlock available as one time in-app purchases.

All SpringNotes in app purchases are one time only¹ with future updates, additions and enhancements to the feature included. They are NOT subscriptions.

Please consider the Ultimate unlock which removes the (15) Note count limit and unlocks every current and future premium feature and update. Unlocking Ultimate, not only supports ongoing development but represents the best value for money as more planned premium features are added to SpringNotes. Please Note that Ultimate becomes unavailable to buy after any other feature is purchased.

All customers who have paid for SpringNotes prior to this release are granted Foundation status which is equivalent to Ultimate
