### "Electronic notebook"

May 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is an electronic version of a binder notebook with infinite filler sheets. Easy to organize notes because you can simply move the pages around and rearrange the tabs too. No need to carry around heavy notebooks. It can store anything (scanned documents, pictures etc). You can use it to create a to do list and link it to outlook tasks.Can be accessible online through your cellphone.

Cons

Notes can only be exported to word, pdf, xml. It unfortunately cannot export to excel even if it is in a table format

### "OneNote to Take Notes"

January 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

it is very easy to use. I can take notes easily. It doesn't have to be wording only, you can draw, put pictures etc.

### "The search functionality lets it down"

December 21, 2023

3.0

Pros

OneNote is a great, easy tool to pick up and use for documentation or ad-hoc note taking with little training/effort to set up. I like that it has both a desktop and browser version.

Cons

Search functionality is poor and often doesn't return results even though I know they exist!

### "Great for E-Learning!"

November 15, 2022

5.0

Working with Microsoft is excellent. I am currently using some Apple products and am always blown away by the simplicity of Microsoft products, specifically OneNote.

Pros

I love how simple OneNote is! When I was doing e-learning, I used OneNote as a “whiteboard” during my lectures in addition to a Huion tablet. There were so many colored pens to choose from and my students loved it.

Cons

Sometimes the program would glitch and the screen would freeze, but that was rare. I think there were too many programs running (camera, Screencastify, OneNote).

### "write your notes on computer and then you can see them on your cellphone when you travel or at the market.."

October 3, 2018

4.0

May be a very useful tool for teachers and educators generally. As a collaborative tool, students may add notes to a teacher's schedule or project and other students or parents may access easily. At home, notes can be taken on the computer and then they can be found when someone is at the market or in the bus on the sellphone!

Pros

Easy access content application that gives freedom to move without loosing your everyday notes. Instantly synchronise to all your acounts and you don't miss a thing. Photos, audio files, hand writing and easy to share software may be useful for Teachers and Buisnesmen

Cons

People and students find it compicated sometimes. It takes time to be able to use all its features. Mac users may see usage limitations.

### "All About The Setup"

December 5, 2019

3.0

It is great for keeping track of to do lists and parts lists when away from the desk. Back in the office I can open the same notes and lists on my PC.

Pros

The sync across all of my devices is very quick and clean. It is simple to add to notes and pages from mobile devices.

Cons

The initial setup of notebooks and pages could be more intuitive. This part is much simpler on a PC rather than a mobile device.

### "onenote review"

February 10, 2019

4.0

Pros

Easy access SAS, easy to use by less technically skilled resources. Ability to create activity specific tabs facilitates simple organization of shared information.

Cons

Unfortunately the product lacks the ability to embed an excel spreadsheet reducing the centralization of critical computational information.

### "Pretty Good"

March 13, 2017

4.0

One Note has definitely taken our team collaboration up a notch. Better for sharing reports and analytics, taking notes and making them available across the team. Wish there was some built in calendar functionality as well as an option to share large files, photos, videos etc. Have also found it difficult to collaborate outside my org. But would like the option to add third parties to projects for a more seamless team experience. For the price, it has some decent options and features.

Pros

Being able to catalog and share notes among my team

Cons

No real file sharing, some things don't dump in very smoothly.

### "It does what it was made to do"

February 21, 2022

4.0

Pros

The first thing is that you get all that was advertised and intended. Its aesthetically pleasing and easy to use. I love that it can integrate with other Microsoft products especially since the computers operates on windows 10. You can integrate it with outlook and email notes to your colleagues. It takes motes by audio and typing, and can operate offline and then sync when you are back online.

Cons

It doesn't integrate well with products outside of Microsoft. The typing functions could have at least a limited formatting option.

### "A good tool for day to day"

September 12, 2018

5.0

It is a daily use tool for team projects, which can be very useful for team work

Pros

I like it a lot and I use it every day, I recommend it a lot for the use of notebooks, manuals and that we can archive in the documents that can be, edited, deleted by the users that you allow such access. I also like it because it is very easy to use because it has a graphical interface similar to a Word document. You can also include tab (pages), to carry out the order of your daily tasks.

Cons

I do not really have many things that I do not like, I can only note that when the application is installed and two people at the same time try to edit a document this produces an error

### "Microsoft one note have to have more functions"

December 18, 2023

5.0

My overall experience is not very good because microsoft one note provide you ionly the basic functionalities which comes prebuild in your device already. it does not provide you any additional feature and also the synchronization and the speed of the app is not very very good i have used it along time ago then it was very hard to use i started using it again now but still i am leaving

Pros

I like the UI of the microsoft one note and the way the sticky notes look and then another thing i like is that you can add images aetc to the sticky notes as well which is a good option

Cons

There is many things i do not like about microsoft one note. Actually microsoft note allows you to take notes but the navigation is very hard and the there are no additional features like reminders for task etc and the application does not loads fast
