### "Best App Microsoft came outwith."

October 8, 2018

5.0

Wish I would have found this when it first came out. I use this for work, home and any classes I take to advance my career.

Pros

Best app for keeping track all notes and information for anything you want to keep all information together.

Cons

Nothing so far. App allows you to safe anything into notes. No short falls I have found in the app yet.

### "A simple Microsoft OneNote review"

October 5, 2021

5.0

I would definitely recommend this software, as team members or colleagues are able to have access to the shared notes from wherever they are. This is also the best way to save money for your business as you wont be spending money buying pens and notebooks for your workers.

Pros

What I find most impactful is its security, it makes sure that your important information is secure and that no one can have access to your password protected sections. It is easy and simple to use, you are able to share notebooks with your colleagues and multiple users can edit the file at the same time. I also like the fact that you can record an audio, add pictures and videos to your notes. This tool is best as one is able to record ideas or make updates on a project while on the go.

Cons

The software is great and there is no downside to it, you are able to access it from any device and it integrates well with Outlook. This software makes it easier for you to even jot down a grocery list on the quick not section, which brings convenience.

### "Great way to Collaborate"

April 22, 2021

4.0

Overall, it has helped our team stay organized and on track.

Pros

OneNote is a great way for team members to collaborate from anywhere. We use ours for maintaining notes at meetings to updating project timelines. I like how easy it is to add and update pages.

Cons

My least favorite feature is just the learning curve. Once you have figured out how to integrate it best into your workflow, it is great, but there is a bit of work to get there.

Pros

The notes can be shared with other team members. It is very handy for taking notes anytime and allows adding images and different graphical representations like charts. It is compatible with all types of devices.

October 23, 2020

### "THE notes software you need!"

January 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

OneNote is the best piece of software of the Office family; personally, I use it in many situations like meetings, brainstorming, keeping track of ideas, etc. It lets you create your notes completely free and in an easy way, organize them in a very flexible and intelligent way and save them in OneDrive (Microsoft cloud service).

Cons

Online version is not as appealing as the desktop one. Without a touch screen or a pen it loses part of its smoothness.

Pros

I LOVE OneNote! It has multiple functions that allow for people with different ways of organizing to stay on track. Easy to use.

Cons

Main page can get cluttered if working on too many things at one time. I've never had an issue and needed to use customer service, so I'm unsure how good they are.
