CourseNotes lets you take notes with rich text editing, lets you import PDFs, take photos and import other images and more.

Cambridge, Massachusetts - Dear Panda LLC has announced a major update to CourseNotes 5.0 for Mac, the note-taking app popular in classrooms around the world with both students and educators alike. The latest version of CourseNotes introduces support for audio recording, support for iCloud Syncing with CourseNotes on iOS devices and other Macs, and a ton of other new features and improvements.

New audio recording support allows students to record lectures and classroom discussions at the same time as taking text notes. "Audio recording has been the number one request from our users, so we're thrilled to be introducing support for this functionality - it really makes CourseNotes an indispensable classroom tool for students", said CourseNotes developer Jonathan Klein.

Support for iCloud syncing means that students will always have access to their notes on all devices across both iOS and Mac. CourseNotes has long supported syncing between devices, but with iCloud syncing, the process is fully automatic and completely seamless. After enabling syncing over iCloud, users' notes, audio recordings and images are synced automatically between all of their devices for both iOS and Mac.

In addition to audio recording and iCloud Syncing, CourseNotes 5.0 includes a variety of other new features including enhanced rich-text editing support and a full app redesign.

Dear Panda today also announced an update to CourseNotes for iOS. Version 5.0 of the iOS app adds the same audio recording and iCloud syncing features found in the Mac app. This not only allows for students on the Mac to take advantage of the same organizational tools found in the iOS version, but also provides seamless syncing of notes between all their devices.

As part of Dear Panda's special offer to educators, a limited supply of promo codes are available to qualified educators to download CourseNotes for free.
