This really irks me. Paid, and then they make the app shitter and put basic functions behind the paywall.

I would gladly pay for a new and improved version of the app (likely every now and again I admit).

I will never pay for a PDF editor on a subscription basis.

Yeah, absolutely not. Drawboard was cool. It was a real loss. And also infuriating that I "bought" it, only to have the app lock me out of "premium" features later.

They absolutely would've been able to grandfather users that paid before the subscription was added. Pure greed and they know you can't do anything about it aside from leaving a bad review.
