### "Fast to load and access for note taking"

July 29, 2024

5.0

Pros

Using Microsoft OneNote for note taking in meeting or brain storming session is simple. It has many tools to change the note format or adding picture. The saved notes can be sync with several devices like my laptop and my smartphone.

Cons

I need to be very careful with the auto-saved features and always ensure it is active before closing the program.

### "Microsoft Reevaluation"

July 22, 2024

4.0

I can iterate over the images and different audio recordings and organize my notes in a very straightforward way using One Note. Anyone who needs to digitally manage and organize information can benefit greatly from OneNote. It provides a number of features that can make note-taking and information management easier, whether it is used for business, education, or personal purposes.

Pros

One Note is incredibly flexible and easy to use; it syncs with multiple devices and allows for real-time editing, which is what I like best about it.

Cons

The sheer number of features could be intimidating to inexperienced users. Larger or older notebook computers may cause it to occasionally lag, and OneDrive storage is needed for device syncing.

### "il programma è brava ma non si applica "

June 27, 2024

3.0

se avete un dispositivo windows con penna smart oppure una tavoletta grafica avete il mondo della fantasia collegato nelle vostre mani nel momento in cui c'è un cambio di piattaforma ponderate bene la vostre scelte

Pros

il vantaggio di oneNote è la possibilità di avere uno spazio infinito su cui scrivere con la possibilità di usare più colori e avere tali note su tutti i dispositivi connessi ad internet.

Cons

le problematiche di questo sistema è l'instabilità delle funzioni. mi spiego meglio quando usate oneNote su pc windows (nella sua versione classica o quella progettata per windows 10) avete il mondo si può fare tante cose se si utilizza con una tavoletta grafica o un dispositivo dotata di penna smart è ancora meglio, ma nel momento in cui si passa su un dispositivo android molte delle possibilità vanno al vento dalle cose più semplici come quella di scegliere la dimensione della riga o del quadretto oppure l'inserimento di forme che è più una tortura che un piacere da utilizzare. inoltre vedendo anche dispositivi dell'ecosistema apple molto spesso ci sono state più funzioni o lanciate prima su essi che rispetto ad android.

### "Outstanding Way of Organising Notes and So Much More"

May 30, 2024

5.0

Amazing piece of software that I have used for over then years. I have multiple note books for work and personal material and I can access this across platforms - Windows and Mac as well as different devices. I could not be without OneNote!

Pros

Microsoft OneNote provides the ability to handle multiple notebooks and pages with ease. It is great to be able to use the software cross platform and on any device - laptop, iPhone etc. Best of all it’s free with a purchase of Office.

Cons

No facility to set reminders for tasks.

### "It's great for documenting notes and ease of access is good"

September 4, 2024

It's great for documenting notes and ease of access is good

Pros

it’s an easy system to save and organize notes

Cons

OneNote’s primary challenge is its poor handling of PDFs. On iPads, it imports PDFs in low quality (though there’s a decent workaround for this, which I’ll cover soon), and it struggles to export notes as PDFs effectively.

I like Microsoft OneNote, and it is being very helpful for my organization. I like the reliability of the software and the easy way of inputting information.

Pros

I like it is included in my employer bundle, so I do not have additional expenses.

OneNote gets done what I need, though sometimes I have to jump through a few hoops to get there.

Pros

As far as general note-taking apps are concerned, I feel like OneNote is the most flexible and intuitive.

Some features are in serious need of an upgrade. For example, the "Send as Email" function still points to the old Outlook.

### "Mon Avis sur Microsoft OneNote"

June 15, 2024

5.0

Pros

Ce que j'apprécie le plus chez Microsoft OneNote, c'est sa flexibilité et sa capacité à synchroniser les notes sur plusieurs appareils. L'interface est intuitive et permet d'organiser facilement les informations grâce à des sections et des pages. Les fonctionnalités de collaboration en temps réel sont également très utiles pour travailler en équipe. De plus, l'intégration avec d'autres applications Microsoft, comme Outlook et Teams, facilite grandement la gestion des tâches et des projets.

Cons

Ce que j'aime le moins chez Microsoft OneNote, c'est que certaines fonctionnalités avancées peuvent être difficiles à découvrir ou à maîtriser pour les nouveaux utilisateurs.
