The app has a new name: Paperlane. Same app, same library, and your Pro unlock carries over. Markup now lands on the page you are looking at. Drawing on page 5 used to change page 1 and destroyed its text layer. The description now says plainly that the free version is supported by ads, and that consent can be withdrawn at any time in the settings.
