How I Benifit from One Note
I keep personal notes, business notes & Convention notes I use the copy & paste features when I study my Bible. These are helpful when sharing with my Congregation, the points or qualities I have noted about the characters involved in the reading as well as the attributes of our Creator, Jehovah God. I especially enjoy using the colors while note taking as well as the Bold feature, perhaps to indicate a lesson learned. I also use it for the names of new friends I have met. Thank you for always improving One Note & giving choices for the size as well as the type of Script we can use. Again thanks for your brilliant work!!👍
I totally agree with the first paragraph, I wrote above for your last survey.I am enjoying all your nice features every morning. Pus I use it for special lectures, & Conventions. It is a very useful tool for notes. Thank You again for using your skills to make our lives more accurate & simple.Show lessThunderbird Baby Blue
Multiplatform, Powerful, Quick, Versatile
OneNote is a great way to share notes and links between iphone and windows, especially w/ Quick Notes builtin handy default location. I also use it on iPhkne and Windows to track investing ideas and research. I do different types of research on both platforms (more in depth on laptop, more news and light fun reading on iphone. Surprisingly full featured on all platforms, yet light weight. The way OneNote allows entry of text or pictures is clean and simple. I have used commercial and opensource note taking apps for years (other good ines inckude keepnote, quiver), and no other app handles allows such free form entry in flexible and intelligent cells. I can paste pictures and include text and if i want can turn it into a cell and move it around or cooy between. Only feature i miss in OneNote is a multi-level folder structure. Handling folders should be as easy as using a browser's bookmark manager, or Windows Explorer.Show lessVirtualNeighbor
Good for notes but always stops working
This is the first semester using this app and I like it a lot for writing. But, just out of no where when I’m writing or erasing, it just stops working and that loading icon just pops up and it keeps going and going no matter how long I wait, so it just wasn’t doing anything. I would have to keep exiting out and refreshing the app, but it keeps happening. This happened before but I had to delete the app and redownload it. I’m not sure if it’s because I have “a lot” of information stored in the app but I did have to delete most of my notes the first time it happened, and I don’t want to keep deleting notes.
Another problem is not being able to switch through notebooks or pages. It’s usually stuck on one page and even if I tap on different different tabs, it’s still stuck on one page. I offloaded the app and deleted it so many times, even restarted my iPad but the problem stays the same. I have all of my handwritten notes in the app and I guess the app can’t handle more than 5 pages of writing.
There is almost always a sync error which is confusing since I am connected to my internet which is perfectly ok. Even when I try to sync it, it apparently just doesn’t sync so that error is there all the time. I thought an app like this would work better with tablets.Show lessndjdjsoskrjrjfjd
Add Miro canvas features to OneNote
OneNote’s canvas leaves a lot to be desired. What was once a revolutionary and leading software for notes (10+ years ago) is now stale compared to other tools out there. It’s clunky and difficult to spatially organize information on a page. It’s not very agile. Please bring the new and rich features from Miro into OneNote: Grids, frames, text boxes (that aren’t a pain to move around), snapping, arrow system, grouping, tables, mind maps, cards, etc.
OneNoe’s section and page system is currently the only feature that beats Miro when it comes organization. I’ve personally started pay for and use Miro as my main note taking app. I’m transferring everything over to it with the hope that they add a section/page system. I’d gladly keep using OneNote if the pages were as feature rich and capable as Miro’s, but at this point it doesn’t really get the job done for what I need to do which is take notes for 3D art techniques. I use a lot of pictures and things get moved around a lot as new information comes in. I like to go back to notes and make updates when new techniques are found. OneNote just doesn’t allow the information to evolve over time as well as MiroShow lessborbs727
Love it until recently…Needs a serious bug fix
I love this app!!! I am in graduate school and to be able to seamlessly view my notes between my tablet and then on my phone while driving is essential!
The immersive reader is amazing! Such a lifesaver and definitely gives it a significant edge over other competitors (Evernote, IPad notes, etc).
However the latest bug is upsetting and really annoying. My notes won’t sync if they were created in an older version of OneNote. If the app gets updated, which is a must to keep it running smoothly, then the versions will be older. That is common sense. Not sure what this big issue is but please resolve IMMEDIATELY!! There is no way I am copying and pasting multiple pages and multiple sections to keep this updated myself.
This would render the application useless in my opinion. I can currently view my notes on my tablet but they no longer sync on my phone due to this error message.Show lessSteph031890
A Fantastic Notes App on iPad, but Mouse Support Needs Work
OneNote is a great app for notetaking on iPads, whether via typing or handwriting with a compatible stylus. Both can be used together interchangeably to create a remarkably versatile workflow that syncs seamlessly across devices. It’s an extremely useful tool for college notes that I come back to often.
There is one issue with the app that frustrates the experience a bit, however, and that is the clunky mouse support. With other Office apps being able to take full advantage of the fast-highlighting features that iPadOS has brought to the table, being unable to quickly highlight and format text the same way in OneNote makes the experience more jarring. It takes a double-click to initiate highlighting mode on a word, as the pointer does little more than emulate a finger at this point; from there, the highlighting start and end bars have to be moved around, then formatting applied. It’s not a deal-breaking issue, but it can be an impedence to a note-taking workflow which makes it a bit harder to be swift and organized with color or other formatting compared to a PC.
Aside from this, the app functions incredibly smoothly, and is a great, free all-rounder notes option for all sorts of different applications.Show lessPyxxl355
OneNote App- Not compatible with Mac. Not able to create new Notebook Accounts.
Not compatible with Mac. However, it states it is. Too difficult to create other Notebooks (not sections). I called for assistance with this (I received really kind & good customer service) just to find that this program is not compatible with my new MacBook Air. Although, this program’s website states/stayed it is compatible.
I’ve been using OneNote for years. Originally, with a Samsung using Windows 10, in which it worked just fine. However, I was still unable to create an entire new Notebooks/accounts for separate use (i.e., for education, personal, & professional notebooks) to allow me to switch between notebook accounts (without the program automatically syncing the same notebooks/sections across all Main Notebook/accounts).
Other than these very important key points, it would be...
ONE OF THE BEST APPS, PERIOD! Perfect for writers, students, organization, sharing, creating documents, business, the list goes on.Show lessItsApples
IPAD users beware
Unbelievably frustrating. Super glitchy (sometimes the drawings jump around, images dont show up etc) and crashing CONSTANTLY (either just exits the app and forgets the last 30 seconds of work, or suddenly doubles its storage size on my iPad and locks me out for minutes at a time stating "One Note needs at least x amount of storage to operate"). Started happening after a few months of notes. Takes up an egregious amount of space, even with class notebook that stores old notebooks on cloud. Also has ridiculous syncing issues: just about every single one of my notebooks has a syncing "error" attached. If these issues were to resolve I would have given the app 3.5-4 stars because overall it go the job done and was simple to use once I learned how to use it.
ALSO: your capabilities are very limited on iPad. There is not much you can do in terms of saving the information on an external hardrive, sharing the files, etc. There are not many setting items that you can mess around with either. Pretty annoying for troubleshooting issues.
Normally dont write reviews, but I felt I had to considering the amount of time I threw into this app, and how disappointed I was in the end. (I was very happy with it in the beginning). Would have been worth it to buy another app specifically designed for Apple products.Show lessiPad User (con)
Feature-rich note or diary app accessible from iPhone, iPad, and windows PC
Especially useful for a PC user with an iPhone or iPad, he/she can maintain the same set of notes or a diary from all these devices! This has the identical advantages that Apple users have come to appreciate from the content sharing across Apples many device types.
Onenote supports a broad range of rich text features and Microsoft continues enrich and extend its features. Onenote content is saved on Microsoft’s cloud, OneDrive, and offer free storage on OneDrive for the first 5GB of content, which going a long way for user-written content.
( 5GB will hold 5 billion characters; assuming 1800 characters to a page, 5GB holds 2,777,777 pages of simple text. Rich text might quarter this count. This a lot of personal note-taking for free. And would can rent more space as needed. )Show lessGeorgeInBaltimore
Using it for years
I tried many other apps to track and manage all the minutiae I need for my varied life family work health ministry spiritual life and entrepreneurial issues. I tried others because they had just some advantage in one way. I would wish One Note could do this one more thing. Now One Note is everything I generally need in one place. The only thing more would be a mind mapping app type feature like Lucidchart. If Microsoft added that to One Note WOW it would totally rock. THE best part of One Note is that over many year and many devices and computers my notes have never been seamlessly picked up in the new device. The least stressful app I ever owned. Exact opposite actually, it makes me relax once I capture my thought in One Note. It is like extra raw memory power in my brain. It saved me from loosing a good detail idea for a particular client many times. I stress much less taking notes in One Note knowing I will always see them again no matter what happens to my device. Backups don’t work as well as that... l mean if you have 30 clients and you have quick note to make on the job and then over the phone then a photo to add or screenshot with weblink to a supplier or pdf One Note does it like nothing else can.Show lessRobbyLovesJesus
