Please, if you voted here, consider taking your votes to the other "idea" that is basically the same as this one, and has 538 votes. Together they can reach top 5 and maybe get done by next release.

The title of the other idea is: "The most useful feature for me would be to record audio while taking notes. When reviewing the notes, click on a word to hear that selection"

Let's make it happen.

I have already bought good notes to help support it, but I'll start using it for real once audio recording is available. For now I'm sticking to Notability. Please, plan this for the next release! Thank you!

I agree!!! I've used Notebility from Aug'14 to Dec'14, and recording audio is extremely helpful! Please integrate this feature into your product!

PS in doing so, DO NOT loose the search feature! Notability doesn't have the ability to search through the notes like your product does, which is why I'm switching over to your product for the next 6 months.

Goodnotes is my preferred app for notes, just got iphone 6 plus to keep from carrying ipad and phone. Many times colleagues ask which app I'm using, "GoodNotes". I want the same functions and user experience I've found so useful on the iPad for my 6plus. ZoomNotes will pair with my Addonit Pro. I really hope GoodNotes will catch up!

Seriously, most important feature!

We have been saying this ever since this app came out. I don't know why they don't listen. This should have come before many of the features they've thrown in. I don't know how hard it is to throw in a recorder, but it would sure be worth it for the company as it would significantly improve the app.

This will make it stand heads and shoulders above any other app in the market.

O yesss! Please add that feature! As the others already mentioned – that's Notability's stand-alone-feature. (If we compare among the strongest apps in the field....)

Thanks!!

Reviewing all of the following note taking apps, but removing the ones that don't have basic audio recording capabilities (which is to include GoodNote)..

No perfect solution to capture notes with audio overlay and text conversion, but Notability, Audionote, 7notes and Notshelf w/ Livescribe 3 come closest with the best features. Still waiting on the perfect solution that blends all 3 together (maybe it's onenote, as musch as that pains me to say??)

Notability
NoteShelf
AudioNote
Notes Plus
MyScript Notes Mobile
7Notes HD Premium
Penultimate
Goodnotes 4

WE NEED THIS!

Linked audio recording is a must, please ADD AUDIO RECORDING like notability!!!

I made an Jailbreak on my iPhone (I know, god will punish me) and the iPad version woks like a charm!!!
I don't know id there is some issue with Apple Store or legal one. But technically is none.

Audio recording would literally make this app just perfect for studying. The handwriting quality is superb, and the ability to record lectures would help out immensely.

Here's hoping we see this feature implemented in the near future!

I love good notes but hate having to switch to Notability for audio recording or using my phones voice memo app.

Please add soon and I'll be extremely happy.

Yes, this is the only major feature that’s missing, and it’s literally the only reason why I still do 60% of my notes in Notability.

Please please add ability to record audio. Don't need to record as I write. It can have a simple record button and when playing have opToon to fastfoward and rewind by selecting anywhere along the recording.. Simple simple but definitely option to record.

Just like the idea of sync audio record with handwriting, now there is a upgraded version.
The feature can be developed step by step in following order since it must be a big project, even almost another app. However, I am pretty willing to pay no less than $5 to unlock the feature if provided.

1. Play video or audio file within a float window while taking notes on some PDF file. Imagine you are playing some high quality lecture video/audio downloaded from some MOOC website while viewing the its lecture notes.
2. Provide a shortcut to capture the present playing time of the media, so as to fast locate the clip while reviewing.
3. Provide another shortcut for section selection. That is to say, first tap to record the start point , second tap to record the end point.And finally just like the note tool in any PDF viewer, you can place the section icon around the relevant PDF content.
4. Quick access to rewind, forward, pause, repeat control.
5. When exporting the PDF, save selected media section as attachments of the PDF.
As far as I know, the following app s implement some partial feature mentioned above.

Scrapnote: media player, allow taking notes while playing media. $4.99
Recordium: powerful audio annotation tools. Feature 2,3 but just for audio and no PDF viewer
$4.99
Audiomark: Feature 1,2 but just simple txt annotation, no document viewer, no section selection.
$0.99
So if GoodNotes can provide any of the above feature, its value should be increased at least $2 on average. With full feature, even $10 extra in-app should be reasonable.

I agree wholeheartedly. I check back on this site daily for news of a zoombox on the iphone 6+ version. I replaced an iPad mini with the 6+ and was sorely disappointed to see this feature missing.

Yes goodnotes is amazing because of its zoomwindow. please bring the zoomwindow to the iphone 6+

yep got the 6 plus with woodnotes and a stylus. Goodnotes iPhone needs the same functionality as iPad.
