  1. List of Recordings

    Audio recordings should be listed in one area, for easier navigation and for easier deleting/clearing of storage space

  2. I love the new feature that highlights notes along with an audio recording, but I think it would be even more useful if it worked the opposite way as well. I mean if there was a way you could select your notes and have the audio jump to the section of the audio clip that corresponds to those notes. If this is not possible, maybe adding something that serves as a marker so that you can tell which audio clips correspond to which pages in your notebook.

  3. Could you please add support for turkish language transcription in the audio to text feature?
    And it could be great to have an option to send recorded audio separately to others

  4. I like to import my professors notes and write alongside them during lectures. I would love to be able to use the audio recording feature and laser pointer together so that i can follow along with the laser in the recording when reviewing notes. I want to be able to circle things or underline them during class so i can see the the prof is referring to in the recordings.

  5. Notes and audio recordings synchronised to the second. If I press on the note the recording will be played at the exact moment I wrote the note

  6. The only way to turn on/off the audio transcript is by starting an audio recording, stopping it, switching the transcript on or off then start the audio again. Please create a different way to control this, maybe in the document settings.

  7. As the title suggests, the Windows app is missing a lot of key features. Audio Recording is a must when taking notes in class. The handwriting is unusable. It's the worst among handwriting apps on Windows. And if you want to type your notes, you're stuck with one single font.

  8. It would be very helpful if the audio recordings had an option that used iOS/iPadOS/macOS voice isolation to isolate the speaker for recording lectures.

  10. What I take notes for I would like to listen to the recording multiple times to learn. To have a loop feature would be great to be able to loop the whole recording to play over and over, or ideally to choose to loop the whole recording or each piece individually for notes with multiple recordings.

  11. Now that audio recording is available, you also need to add functionality to allow the audio to be exported out of the note as a separate mp3. I use this function on another note-taking program so that I can have the audio transcribed. I can't use Good Notes for my job until this is possible, so I'm staying tuned to see if this is added in the future. Not sure if other people are this specific. Adding this and voting for all the suggestions that are close to this idea.

  14. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing significant issues with the audio recording feature after restoring my data using an iCloud backup. Since the restoration, my audio recordings no longer sync properly with my notes. For example, when I play recordings at 2x speed, only the audio accelerates while the notes remain at 1x speed, causing a mismatch between the two. Additionally, the app crashes frequently during playback.

    I’ve seen reports of similar issues from other users as well, so it seems to be a recurring problem. This issue is severely affecting my workflow, and I would appreciate it if this…

  15. The audio recordings and their sync with the written notes is an amazing feature that I use daily.
    An improvement that could be made is adding the ability to change inputs to bluetooth devices for the audio recordings (like external microphones or bluetooth headsets) - This would be especially helpful for people who sit in the back of a lecture hall and would allow them to place a microphone at the front and record the lecture more clearly.

  17. When I want to listen to a specific part on my document, instead of skipping through the recording by myself until I find it. I could just click on the text I’ve written while I recorded that part, and Goodnotes would automatically skip to the part and start playing the recording.
    I hope that makes sense, it’s just like notability. I know a lot of people who would switch to Goodnotes if that feature is available.

  18. Hello... You can add the feature of sharing the audio recordings that are recorded in the program because it is very necessary for every user + and there is a small problem that when I change the location of the file, the audio recording stops working... Thank you.

  20. We can add images into our notes but there is currently no option to insert video files & audio files. Please consider adding this feature. Allow us to upload audio & video files to our notes, just as we are able to upload pictures.
