### "The best thing ever!"

August 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love OneNote mainly because the interface is reminiscent to a physical notebook, just digitized. The tabs and sections make it really easy for me to visualize how my notes are organized. I also love the casualness of OneNote in the sense that the pages aren't completely organized and you can easily drag and drop notes next to each other. Adding images is simple and easy, and I love how all of my notes sync easily on all devices.

Cons

Truly can't think of any cons for OneNote, but it is sometimes confusing to have "OneNote.url" files in my folder. It often doesn't work if I try to rename the file.

### "note-taking software"

August 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's great to be able to take and organize notes on your phone/tablet/whatever device and sync them across all your devices. If you forget where you put a piece of information, you can search for it easily. You can type, doodle, color code, change font/size/alignment, pretty much do anything you would want to do in a note-taking software. It's nice to be sure you'll never lose the notes you took.

Cons

It can be awkward explaining to someone that I'm actually paying attention and listening when I'm constantly punching things into my device. A pen and paper don't make people feel ignored the way note-taking in a device can.

### "Organizing my life one note at a time"

August 3, 2018

4.0

Second only to google keep because it’s significantly simpler but much much more useful with its advanced functionality I highly recommend using Microsoft one note!

Pros

It is amazing how many things you can figure out that you want to note down. The way that one note organizes them it’s phenomenal.

Cons

Sometimes there are just too many options and it’s too cluttered to give you such customizability that it over complicates things. Sometimes I need to remind myself to use it.

### "OneNote is a very helpful organizational and note-taking tool"

March 17, 2020

5.0

I use it on a daily basis both professionally and personally.

Pros

I use OneNote to make checklists that I can repeat for processes I complete on a monthly basis. Its an easy way to make sure you never miss a step.

Cons

You need to be setup to a drive of some soft to create a book. I remember having a difficult time setting up a new workbook the first and second time and it just seems like an unnecessary hurtle.

### "Tool to share digital materials"

August 31, 2018

5.0

It is an excellent application, I highly recommend it

Pros

It is a free license tool that facilitates the taking of notes, the collection of information and the exchange with other users. One of its most important advantages is that it allows you to add files in different formats (visual, audio and audiovisual)

Cons

So far I have not gotten any disadvantage, it is an easy to use tool and it is quite complete and works on multiple platforms

### "Great for brainstorming"

May 26, 2021

4.0

Pros

My laptop has a touch screen so using OneNote has allowed me to brainstorm and mapout business plans super easily with my stylis. It's like taking all your paper notes and random chicken scratch and putting it into an electronic format that you can never lose. It ensures that I'll never lose my ideas and can keep things in order.

Cons

The pages tab is useful for multiple projects within a department but for what i'm doing it's not all that useful. I would much rather have the current view page be able to have an infinite expansions to it like other pages so that ideas can grow and be connected on a single page and not over multiple pages.
