### "One Note the One "

May 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

Everything at one place. Combined with all other Office365 Microsoft programs, OneNote provides the best option to have a notbook for live meetings record keeping, publication of meeting agendas and then publishing minutes. This all in one platform makes meetings management so easy.

Cons

The inability to use some excel and word tools to like tables, copy and past are hinderance at times.

### "Simple, Easy, Intuitive"

January 16, 2020

4.0

Realistically, One Note is a great substitute for those who like a Scratch Notebook. Being able to create pages and sections and organize them is the major strength of OneNote. Combine that with Microsoft's ability to sync with other devices and not having to worry about saving documents, One Note is very close to replacing the pen and paper I carry around with me.

Pros

Easily able to organize notes within sections, handwriting to text is an amazing feature. I also am a big fan that it syncs across all devices, including the mobile OneNote app.

Cons

Lack of extra features. I think the features they have added have been great so far. I'd love to see more integrations with things they've been able to do in other Office Products like flowcharts from Vizio or collaborative notebooks.

### "Everything in one place"

November 17, 2017

5.0

Pros

This is a great tool to help keep me organized. I can keep meeting notes, create folders for my different projects, and it’s accessible on my phone as well as my desktop.

Cons

I like to keep my to-do list in OneNote. I’d like my completed tasks to be hidden when I’m done. My work around is to create a copy of my to-do list every so often and on the new one delete the completed tasks.

### "What is my experience with OneNote?"

May 28, 2021

4.0

It's really good, I use for multidisciplinary purposes such as Math, projects, draws, digital projects, etc.

Pros

well, I like use this software because It has a versatility for draw, write, do colorful your notes and organize and share with partners, with a great facility. Also, you don't need save in your device because while you're using the programm saved it in a cloud. This one has save to me when I have problems with my devices, just I opened with my count in another one. I love that we can connect with Trello for be more productive.

Cons

Well, rarely I don't feel comfortable with starting time, because, depending of size of file or the device it can be a little bit slowly

### "OneNote"

September 12, 2021

4.0

Pros

Love the ease of managing and organising shared documents

Cons

I am still working out how to get the most out of OneNote - I can see that it has great functionality beyond what I am using it for, but perhaps it could be slightly more intuitive (it's already fairly intuitive) so that I don't need to find a biggish chunk of time to fully explore.

### "No complaints"

August 10, 2022

5.0

Pros

Very user-friendly software. It has everything you would expect in note-taking software. It allows the user to create notebooks and notes with ease. Ability to colour code. Easy highlighting. Works great on desktop. Syncing works well as long as you have a Microsoft account.

Cons

There may be more suitable apps to use on tablets where integration is easier with accessories. Some apps allow for endless-sized sheets.

Easy of use, it's the first note-taking app I started using, and still have it to check any information saved year back.

### "Microsoft Cannot Disappoint"

May 17, 2019

5.0

Pros

We were looking for a software that was inexpensive but comprehensive and we settled on OneNote. This came with our Microsoft Office Suite and we did not even have to purchase any additional products. Microsoft cannot disappoint and OneNote is further proof of that. We create and organize ".one" files by the dozen every week and they are lightweight and easily shared between employees. As is expected, the product is extremely easy to use and has a very modern design. We have been using the 2016 edition for Windows 10.

Cons

No cons. Especially since you can get this product in an invaluable bundle of other Microsoft Products that are absolutely essential to any modern business.

Pros

OneNote is making my events organized, in-order and easy to search. This is a very advantageous application and so easy to use.
