Overall experience is great, it avoid users having a lot of sticky notes on your screen to remind you things. It is flexiable to write notes and remove after the tasks are done

Cons

OneNote is great for simple task, notes. When comes to complex idea, notes it will get messy if you are not organized

### "Pretty good, but Templates"

August 25, 2024

4.0

Pretty good, it was easy to use and pretty straight forward, I do wish there was an easier way to upload templates I find online though.

Pros

I love being able to set the sections anywhere I please, whereas the typical document/note taking apps set it up much like a word document. One line after another, which didn't help if i found information that's more a side note, but still important to know

Cons

Who has access and who doesn't can get pretty confusing.

### "A go-to app!"

August 14, 2024

5.0

It's quite good and my go to for making appealing, fun and comprehensive notes of any sort

Pros

The feature to add audio along with the maginificent color variety provided by onenote is truly exciting and helps in making note comprehensive.

Cons

When I add a ruled page instead of a blank one, i want to get my cursor on ruled lines only to make it easier to write...but that is not the case

### "The Best App for Making Notes"

August 4, 2024

4.0

I really enjoy having all of my info in one location, and One Note makes this very simple.

Pros

It offers a lot of features, such as real-time team collaboration and tag addition. It's simple to use. In addition to sharing directly with others, we may upload images, audio, and video.

Cons

Certain functions can be a little difficult for a novice to understand, and occasionally a paid membership might not be worth it.

### "Good if you have time to learn!"

December 17, 2024

4.0

Pros

I love all the options OneNote has, and is really customizable as far as adding pages. Both the dictate and transcribe features are really helpful!

Cons

The typography seems limited, and the layout feels cluttered, so the menus take a little longer to learn as it isn't as intuitive

### "Microsoft One Note"

August 30, 2024

5.0

With OneNote I plan the big events, I create something new and I track that list of errands that are important. I quickly organize my notes, find my recent notes quickly and I save quickly my thoughts and ideas.

Pros

I like that I’m able to add pdfs on a page and then add notes and highlights on. This acts makes research much easier.

Cons

I don’t like that crash it sometimes and make my job so slowly.

### "OneNote user review of first year"

July 2, 2024

5.0

Overall, it has been always helpful and all the notes are easily sorted. I use it everyday for everyday notes, meeting overviews, writing down daily tasks and conclusions of different trainings and so on.

Pros

It was so easy to use from the beginning and separate different topics and pages. Very easy to add pictures or graphs, different sizes of text boxes, etc. Nice to have it on the phone, too and you can share your notes with other users.

Cons

Maybe Microsoft product are a little bit high to pay. Overall the product itself is good and reliable.

I have enjoyed using it to organize many things. I have had challenges at times with the user interface not being as intuitive as other note applications.

my experience with microsoft onenote was good so far could be better tho .

Pros

what i like most about microsoft onenote is every page is an infinite canvas.

### "Microsoft OneNote is so helpful "

July 21, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love the color coordination of the note sections. This helps me to keep track and be well organized.

Cons

I think the one con is how at times when you move a note it looks like it disappears but it actually goes back into its place in the note section. That’s something I had to learn over time.

### "collection of ideas"

July 9, 2024

5.0

I can use it anywhere and on any device and it helps me when I have ideas to capture them immediately so I don't forget them later.

Pros

It has been an excellent tool to be able to capture my ideas and save them, I feel free to be able to express my ideas in Microsoft OneNote and it also eliminated the need to do so on paper that I later lost or damaged and could not recover later, now they are safe and stored to use on any occasion

Cons

Its use value is a little expensive in my opinion, the rest is fine in all its functions.

### "Product title says it all"

June 10, 2024

5.0

Pros

It was the first tool I came across that actually felt like taking notes on a piece of paper but on steroids when it comes to links, images and much more. Whether its the local or cloud based version you're in for a treat.

Cons

The search engine is not optimal. The price is a bit expensive. If versioning/version control is a big requirement for documentation you should consider something more enterprise grade than OneNote.

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

It came with the Office package and it was highly recommended.
