### "Microsoft OneNote is a Handy Tool When Working on Projects"

July 16, 2024

5.0

Pros

What I like most about Microsoft OneNote is that I could write down my ideas for a project online instead of on a piece of a paper in a notebook. I can jot down notes while on my phone or to my laptop.

Cons

There was nothing I didn't like about Microsoft OneNote.

### "OneNote: The Digital Note-Taking Champion for Organization and Collaboration"

May 16, 2024

5.0

Pros

Microsoft OneNote is an outstanding digital note-taking app with comprehensive features and a user-friendly interface. Its robust organizational structure, cross-platform syncing, generous free version, excellent web clipper, and collaboration tools make it a top choice for efficient note management.

Cons

Microsoft OneNote is user-friendly but lacks advanced features found in other note-taking apps. The free version limits access to powerful tools, and there are occasional syncing issues. Despite these drawbacks, OneNote remains popular for its core functionalities and seamless user experience.

### "OneNote Review"

May 9, 2024

4.0

Pros

One of the things I like about OneNote is the copy and paste feature. Although it's a bit "flawed", it works great when you need space or you want to organize something. Also, the view page for graph, lined, or none is really useful as well.

Cons

One of the things I don't like about OneNote is how the program thinks that you're drawing, but you're trying to drag the page. I don't know if this is just my own experience, but sometimes the page will go towards another part of page randomly and it's annoying, but doesn't happen as often.

May 15, 2024

Pros

I enjoyed using OneNote with my previous job as a GM for an optometry company. It made note taking easy and accessible, and the employee who took my position when I left enjoyed the organization that OneNote provided with all of my work duties and tasks.

Cons

I can’t recall not liking anything about one note!

### "OneNote, a good note storage option"

April 30, 2024

5.0

Pros

The tab and notebook system is fairly good overall and certainly brings an organized feeling to your notes.

Cons

The way copy/pasting works by default is a little jarring and sharing singular notebooks should be much easier.

### "An obvious choice for those embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem, but probably not for anyone else "

January 5, 2024

4.0

As a OneNote user for many years and with an extensive collection of notebooks there is little incentive to change, however the app is feeling increasingly stale and anachronistic. While within the Microsoft ecosystem it remains an obvious choice (unless real-time collaboration is required) but less so for toehrs

Pros

Bundled with Microsoft subscriptions and embedded into SharePoint and Teams it should be the first note management solution evaluated by anyone in the Microsoft ecosystem. The best experience comes with the Windows or MacOS desktop client, but the browser-based client and mobile apps are adequate.

Cons

For those not embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem OneNote is not an obvious candidate. For those that need to use the browser based client that experience is noticeably more limited than the desktop client, which Microsoft have threatened to retire. And Microsoft is promoting Loop, which is a more modern alternative.

### "Mon expérience avec Microsoft OneNote"

July 20, 2023

5.0

Mon expérience avec Microsoft OneNote a été très positive que ce soit la prise de notes individuelle ou en équipe.C'est un outil polyvalent qui m'a permis de rester organisé et productif dans mes tâches quotidiennes.

Pros

J'ai apprécié la capacité de créer des sections, des pages et des sous-pages pour organiser efficacement mes notes.La fonction de collaboration permet à plusieurs personnes de travailler ensemble sur un même bloc-notes, facilitant ainsi le travail en équipe.La possibilité d'ajouter et de stocker des documents directement dans les notes rend la gestion des informations plus complète et pratique.

Cons

J'ai rencontré quelques problèmes occasionnels de synchronisation entre les appareils, nécessitant une actualisation manuelle.

Alternatives considered

[OneDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161304/OneDrive/)[Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

OneNote m'a offert une structure hiérarchique permettant d'organiser mes notes en sections, pages et sous-pages,facilitant la gestion des informations.Je l'ai opté aussi parcqu'elle s'intègre parfaitement avec d'autres applications Microsoft telles que Word, Excel et Outlook,ce qui facilite le transfert d'informations entre ces applications que j'utilise souvent.

### "My backup note taking app"

April 13, 2024

5.0

I still love OneNote- so much so, that I use it at every job to help me stay organized and on-pace.

Pros

I love that you can organize the heck out of your notes. They can be organized into books so that they are grouped together along with other similar notes/content.

Cons

Unfortunately, since I cannot set reminders in OneNote, it remains my backup notepad- despite it having amazing features which my main app does not have yet.

### "Fantastico per la gestione di appunti e attività"

April 15, 2024

5.0

Bel software che permette una gestione completa degli appunti nonché delle attività da fare

Pros

è un software che ha la possibilità di creare diverse sezioni all'interno delle quali è possibile creare più fogli. Ogni sezione può essere vista come una cartella (i.e. relativa a un cliente) e ogni foglio può essere o un elenco di attività o gli appunti di un incontro/riunione

Cons

In realtà non ho riscontrato particolari inconvenienti o spunti di miglioramento.

### "I use this app almost everyday! "

March 2, 2024

5.0

My overall experience has been a really good one. I’ve used this app for the past two years now, and haven’t had issues with documentation, storage, or note taking, anyone looking to stay organized and on top of their tasks, I think this is a good app for them.

Pros

Once you get the hang of how to use it, it really can make your day-to-day activities so much easier. I found that when there’s something that I need to remember or a specific note that I want to take I just quickly note it down in the app. Overall it helps me stay organized!

Cons

My least favorite thing about the app is that it’s not the most user-friendly. I’ve had many colleagues tell me that they had never used it simply because they either didn’t know how or weren’t sure what it was for. I think it could do a lot better if the interface was made to be more user-friendly.

### "My Microsoft OneNote experience."

January 16, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love how easy it is for me to create my uni notes, use the platform to organise, plan and track my assignments on time and also be able to do all this at a fair price.

Cons

I hate the fact that there's no app that I can use offline with more features from apps like Notion. It would be nice to have all the different templates that other people use being introduced to Onenote as well.

### "Microsoft OneNote es el mejor aplicativo para tomar, gestionar y sincronizar todo tipo de notas."

January 17, 2024

4.0

OneNote me ha acompañado en mis notas y tareas de la universidad, así como también las anotaciones, listas y pendientes de mi vida personal. Recomiendo altamente utilizar OneNote.

Pros

La facilidad de uso y sincronización de todos los cambios y organización de notas a través de la cuenta personal o educativa/organizativa. En especial, el trabajo en la nube entre todos los dispositivos compatibles.

Cons

Las páginas de las notas requieren de una funcionalidad que permita fijar márgenes.

### "One-stop note-taking"

December 11, 2023

5.0

On the whole, I enjoy OneNote as a note-taking/document management app. Especially if you're heavily using the Microsoft stack, it integrates well with the rest of the office suite.

Pros

I love how easy and unobtrusive the UI is. Navigating around hundreds of notes and diagrams is made relatively easy.

Cons

Occasionally the backup and sync freezes, meaning that when I come to access those notes on another PC they aren't there, which is very frustrating.
