Was just reading an article about another app that records and that are synced when writing down a note placing a timestamp to the recording.

Have only been using GoodNotes for approximately 1 month, but it is definitely already my goto note taking app on my iPad. Having the ability to record meetings, presentations and lectures would be incredible.

Audio would be awesome; it would make Goodnotes my ultimate app.

yes please. I also chose notability for this reason but I really wanted good notes for the other features. Please update with audio recording.

This is a really needed feature. Any updates on the eta

Please add this. I can’t use a note taking app without it!

Please add this feature.

While it records while i write or type, i can go back an listen and it will send me to what i was writing while i was recording. AND converting handwriting notes to text would great! PLEASEEE.

Please add this feature. I have to use OneNote too, cause audiorecording works there.

This is a critical feature for classes and meetings!

add audio recoding to handwring

In addition to this feature: Please add a speed control to the playback.

In addition to the feature that everyone is claiming: audio recording synced with notes.

Please add a speed control to the playback.

It’s a big weakness not having this. I’ve had to switch to Notability

Goodnotes is a great note taking app, and I think it essential that the voice recording feature be added. For legal conversations and purposes I do suggest this feature be prioritized.

I would also LOVE to see this feature in Goodnotes! I have been an AVID Notability user for years, and after years of research of Notability vs. Goodnotes, the ONLY reason why I still use Notability is due to the ability to audio record during meetings that I will need to reference for important info later. If Goodnotes adds the Audio record feature, I will absolutely convert to this app 100%. I will no longer have a need for Notability.

create an app for iwatch that activates the video or audio recording of an iPhone, or take a picture.
the iPhone would be placed on any support that points the camera towards the speaker with the goodnotes app open, and so while notes are taken on the iPad by hand, you can put your hand to the clock in a second to take an audio snapshot or a video of the exhibition in progress. When the audio video or image is finished, a small window like the airdrop appears on the iPad so that the user can drag and drop the capture in the part of the document that is interesting and when it is released, a message appears in which it is given choose if you insert it in link mode, thumbnail or with a text to be written by it at that moment.

writing with a pen on a phone or on the Mac is crazy, so the iPhone application only serves to create notes from text boxes and as a visualizer as the application for mac, which only gives a sense of security because I have I read that there are many synchronization problems and even data can be lost.
then the idea is the following: do the writing with the keyboard on Mac and phone by default, and that the user choose to write with a pencil, if you prefer, something unlikely.
and that the notes are automatically synchronized between devices, that is, if you leave a note on the phone, it appears on the ipad as you left it and also on the mac, without having to import or export, or open a browser, or make a single click, that is, a location in the cloud is configured when the application is installed and all applications when they are closed or open or each pause in writing is synchronized with the cloud, then what is done on a device is within all. because paying € 9 for an application more than deserving it is because I demand it.
summary, typing with default keyboard in everything that is not ipad, and automatic synchronization between all the applications of different devices, this actually with the universal search was for yesterday ... and a better file search is also much appreciated although less urgent, how to insert links in the notes by dragging and dropping from this file finder or the split screen of the iPad, but these are other ideas, such as giving the possibility of using the phone as an audio recorder while writing notes from the iPad in a class, or you can even leave the phone positioned to record a video or take a picture with the Apple iwatch with a touch while taking notes, for exposed slides or videos and live demonstrations, but first things first...
Thank you.

I have both GoodNotes and Notability.

And my main note taking app is GoodNotes. I got Notability mainly because of audio recording. But after using audio recording feature with Notability for nearly a month, I found that it’s not a useful feature.

For two reason; the first is when writing with Apple Pencil, the pencil touches the surface and produces a clicking sound. Since the iPad is a relatively compact device (I’m using 12.9"), the sound spreads all over the device and iPads both microphones picks it up and reinforce the noise noticeably.

The second reason why the audio recording is not a useful feature is the quality of recording on iPad Pro. Having tried Notability, the sound is not that great unless you sit in the first row.

As for now, I use a cheap Olympus dictaphone while using GoodNotes on iPad Pro. After seminar I upload the sound file to the cloud (Drive/Dropbox) and import it to iPad. The sound is much better and I can actually understand what the teacher says without cranking up the volume. And there’s no problem to manually follow recordings with the notes.

So unfortunately there ain’t no "one ring to rule them all". But for marketing point, I guess its a good selling point to attract otherwise potential Notability buyers :-)

This waiting for this, before I consider switching from notability

critical feature.
