### "Canvas style note taking at its finest"

November 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

Unlike other note-taking apps, OneNote truly assists with creative aspects of your work. The canvas-style free-form notes are ideal for taking text notes, inserting images, drawing notes on those images and then reshuffling all those elements if needed.

Cons

Syncing issues. While OneNote will eventually sync your notes, but the process is not as fast and smooth as in Evernote.

### "Organizing with a Mess"

December 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

It's absolutely great software. It has all the tools you need to write your notes, whether you're in work or in school. And whether you're doing it with soft copies or hard copies. The math recognizing is astonishing. You can write any equation with hand and it will recognize it and convert it into a digital characters. It will also draw a graph for you, right away!

Cons

The first challenge is to get used to it. That's why I said Organizing with a mess, it can really get messy there. If you can keep up with it, and use it constantly, it will be your memory, secretary, and calendar. You also need a electronic pen to use the best part of it. Finally, you can't really save it as a file (at least not easily).

### "Onenote Review"

November 27, 2021

3.0

I rarely use onenote when I don't want to pay for other note apps and when it is necessary to collaborate my team on a project.

Pros

\+ First of all its free yet functional. + I can create different notebooks for different purpose. This feature help me keep my notes well organized. + Being able to create sub-note in any note really helps. + I love to review notes + Editing options are highly abundance: Page editing, title editing, hierarchy organization of titles... + It goes well with MS Office tools

Cons

\- Its interface design doesn't feel professional and unnecessary complex - There are so many tabs in note page that it may cause distraction - It lacks labelling and the feature of sorting by labels

### "Fantastic One-Stop Shop"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

At first, I was hesitant to try another software. This turned out to be FANTASTIC. You can keep notes within several categories and files. Perfect for keeping track of complex to-do lists, tasks for each month and the necessary details, or just miscellaneous information that you find yourself needing often. This is a very useful software!

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of one con. I suppose if you could share your notes with others and allow them to edit it, that would be nice. (I think even this may be possible, but it may require some detailed set up.)
