I wholeheartedly agree. I use Goodnotes because I like how well it works with the apple pencil and how easy and intuitive it is to draw scientific figures. I would absolutely love to be able to hook up a USB microphone and record audio as I solve a problem. If I could somehow export this so that students could then watch and hear what I did...that would be a killer feature.
One way to implement this (if PDF files allow this) would be to have a click an audio note on each page.

Please, Please add Audio Recording to handwriting!

Audio Recording is needed

Yes, I record all my lectures in another app. Would be great to have the recording and my notes all in the same place. This is a reason to purchase Notability

Is it possible to tag or add sticky notes to important parts of the notes you take. So that way you can easily reference it from the navigation bar. For example let’s say you’re taking a note in fluid mechanics. And on page 5 you write a really important definition/equation, and you want to tag it so even though you’re in page 20 or another document in that category you could search for that particular equation using a tag. If you’re still in the document maybe using the navigation bar(that shows bookmarks) to view your document tags/sticky notes.

Also is it possible to add an audio feature that syncs with your writing(like notability).

Thank you

Yes, this feature (especially Audio Recording) should definitely implemented in the new Version - Goodnotes 5. In that case the most appreciated and advanced feature of Notability would be no longer just theirs but rather yours as well (strengthening of your market position). All users would be totally grateful :)

What keeps me with Goodnotes over any other alternative (and I've tried many) apps in this genre are :
1) quality of the handwriting recognition with the apple pencil.
2) ease of incorporating drawings needed to write lecture notes and think about physics
3) MacOS integration makes uploading for student super easy

That being said, it would be nice to have voice recording for meetings.

audio recording - killer feature.

Yes Notability has this feature and that's why I'm using it especially for meetings or lectures when a lot of information should be quickly recorded. It's very helpful and, in my opinion, is a "must have" feature for a note taking app.
Really hope Goodnotes would add this feature in near future.

It’s that or Notability!

Agree, this is missing functionality that would be great.

Please add the audio recording :) I would love it!

yes please add audio recording. also, the option to add videos and play back in the notes. also, the option to add 3d animations and play it back on the note

I want to add another Idea to the audio recording. First of all, if there would just be an audio recording feature WHILE beeing able to take notes would be a MAJOR HELP.

But it would be perfect if you could add timestamps so you can see which notes you took at a specific time. So you are simply able to hear what happened when you took a specific note.

The playback possibilty that the person before me commented, would be another big improvement.

Bought the app but stopped using it cause the recording app is so crucial. Still waiting patiently

Why have you not started or completed this? It is not that hard to implement. Kind of annoying how many votes it has and it has been up for 3 years without being started. I am not buying until there is audio. Just do it already!

And when the f is this planned?two more years?

I have used the Livescribe pen to take notes and also record at the same time. The software hasnt been MAC / Apple freindly for several years and I recently purchased an Apple 2017 Ipad Pro and would like to migrate from the Livescribe device to an app that would allow me to take notes and record at the same time and then click on specific parts of my notes and play the corresponding recording. Livescribe pen does this well. I hope you add this type of capability to your product. Sync audio with notes and allow selected playback. And, of course, allowing all recording to be uploaded to a cloud so they are synced and can be accessed from multiple devices

verdade, essa ferramenta faz muita falta..

APESAR DE MUITOS TEREM SUGERIDO A OPÇAO DE GRAVAÇÃO DE AUDIO, GOSTARIA DE REINTERAR A IDEIA PARA QUE ESSE RECURSO SEJA ADICIONADO O MAIS RAPIDO POSSIVEL, ESTOU COGITANDO MUDAR PARA O CONCORRENTE POIS TEM A OPÇÃO DE GRAVAÇÃO DE AUDIO COM A FERRAMENTA QUE PERMITE AVANÇAR E RETROCEDER A GRAVAÇÃO NUMA VELOCIDADE SUPERIOR OU INFERIOR A GRAVADA, E A FERRAMENTA QUE PERMITE AO PASSO QUE O AUDIO E REPRODUZIDO, A ESCRITA TAMBÉM E REFEITA, ESSE RECURSO E OTIMO QUANDO ESTAMOS ESTUDANDO POIS PODEMOS ACOMPANHAR A INSTRUÇÃO DO PROFESSOR NOVAMENTE.
