### "The Digital Notebook"

August 15, 2020

5.0

Pros

This app is great for capturing notes and jotting down pieces that do not need to be put in any form of formal formatting. The great thing is that it automatically sends updates to the cloud if you are signed in to your Microsoft account. This makes backing up your work very easy.

Cons

So far I have nothing to add. This app works perfect for me

### "Useful additional feature in Microsoft Office Suite"

October 18, 2021

5.0

I have more typing experience but pictures and drawings create useful pneumonics.

Pros

I can insert any number of note types, including partial documents, tables, and drawings. These can be organized how I like.

Cons

I have more trouble typing in document form than in a normal Word document and pages don't stay at a uniform size.

### "One product for everything"

June 3, 2021

5.0

Excellent. I haven't stopped using it since I installed the product.

Pros

It's features allow me to write everything in one place and allows me to keep everything organised. It has tabs and pages for everything and allows me to quickly write into whichever project I am working on without the need for changing document.

Cons

There are no cons. Sometimes it loads slower than I expect, however this is more to do with the number of other programmes I have open than the One Note itself.

### "A Handy and Flexible Note Taking Application"

October 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

I personally think that One Note is one of the most adaptable and flexible note taking application with all round editing features for note taking. It has a complete editing and formatting options such as video/sound recording, screen clipping, sketching, handwriting, drawing as well as page templates. In addition this app is well integrated with other Microsoft softwares such as outlook, office 365, Onedrive etc.

Cons

If you are not using Microsoft products, sync and integration from non Microsoft based products would be your issues. In addition, the availability of a feature for mobile application only and not in PC application is a flaw, i.e. OneNote Badge is only available on mobile application for Android users.

### "One note for Business"

February 20, 2020

3.0

The experience of using the software has been good the only issue is that with the tab vs folder view change that made it a bit more difficult to utilize but it still works

Pros

This is a great way to sync your notes across all of your devices. It will keep all of your information accessible and you can she notes for collaboration between users on Multiple platforms.

Cons

The older version that gave you the tab based notebooks vs the folder view that currently exists was more user-friendly

### "A must have if you take notes"

August 26, 2022

5.0

I am fairly new to One Note, but I have to say after using this for 4 weeks to take notes in class, I am hooked.

Pros

One note is easy to use, you can name your tabs and then use each tab for your notes. You can import notes, you can import screen shots. The search button makes finding your notes so easy. I had a 4 week training class and I used one note every day. My notes were organized, concise and labeled so I could find them and use them quick.

Cons

I honestly can say there wasn't anything about it I didn't like.

### "Generic app"

February 17, 2024

3.0

It’s just a regular app, at the end I opted for Notion which has more implementations

Pros

Well, it’s a pretty generic note taking app, so it works as it is expected

Cons

It’s not easy to keep track on where did you write some notes and it’s very simple, there is no advantage over any other note taking app that comes with your phone

### "Handy for large projects or events"

March 5, 2019

4.0

Handy if your objective is to go paperless and already using Microsoft products.

Pros

Looks just like a notebook, multiple tabs for subjects, ability to schedule meetings, reminders and export directly into Outlook for meeting minutes. Great for large corporates.

Cons

I'm sure it's all about getting used to the program but the user really needs to use it across a set number of topics, there is a slight prevelance to ignore the meeting and sit staring at the screen. I found I used it less over time in an effort to engage with the people in the room. After that I had to remind myself to use it rather than a physical notebook. Occasionally I'd forget about the program altogether and then rediscover it.

### "Simple and great!"

March 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

I Like that you can organize so many different kinds of notes. We use it as a team and since everyone can access and edit we’re able to stay in touch and keep organized even when half the team is remote.

Cons

I think getting everyone a part of the same page was more difficult than it needed to be.

February 22, 2024

2.0

Not a positive experience, I have since switched to a different provider

Pros

It is apart of the Microsoft suite of apps

Cons

Difficult to use, cannot save files properly, not an organized system

Switched from

[Goodnotes](https://www.capterra.com/p/233930/GoodNotes/)

It was apart of the Microsoft suite and easy to implement

### "One place to keep all your vital information"

May 29, 2019

4.0

Pros

This is very simple to use and easily integrates with other Microsoft apps. I use this to house all my notes and its keeps everything in one place. Also gives you reminders.

Cons

It would be good if this could be made into an app on your mobile phone. There may be one but I havent come across it

### "Microsoft OneNote is handy to have! "

March 11, 2022

5.0

Microsoft OneNote benefits our organization and employees by allowing us to create content. It helps keep us organized. It even gives us the capability to link our notes to audio.

Pros

Microsoft OneNote is easy to use and super convenient for collaboration. Our organization uses Microsoft OneNote to link our notes as well as share our notes with other OneNote users. Microsoft OneNote also gathers other information for our use. It helps us be more efficient throughout the work day.

Cons

Take the time to learn the different features Microsoft OneNote has to offer!

### "Post-its relegated to tabbing pages"

November 17, 2018

5.0

It also allows me to share those little notes with the whole office, so they can quickly know what I’ve already found out on a particular topic or project.

Pros

It allows me to keep my notes - all those little scraps of paper that decorated my office, my monitor, my phone, my desk - they are all in one place now - and I can actually find them!

Cons

Nothing really. It didn’t even take me that long (relatively speaking) to learn how to use the basic functions. I never say software is intuitive - this one actually is!!

### "Great multi-user note taking app"

June 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that you can easily organize your notes and can easily keep track of important things. It's also good that you can just post an update and other users who have an access can just add a comment or update.

Cons

It helped me to be more organized, and so far it has been useful to me and I haven't experienced any issues yet.

April 12, 2023

### "My favorite Microsoft product"

December 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

I'm usually not a fan of the MS products, but OneNote is something special. MS has managed to make what Dropbox Paper did only a decade later - a flexible canvas where you can do virtually anything. It's great for note-taking, for attaching images/screenshots, annotate them and generally work in any creative fashion that suites you.

Cons

As usual, MS products don't work that great if you're using a browser-based web app. It's certainly worth going for a desktop app, but I don't have a Windows PC at disposal all the time. A linux version would be nice (but we can stop expecting that) or at least a faster web version would help.

### "Note buddy"

August 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

Helps me to be reminded of my everyday to do's and meeting schedules. I like how it sync in all devices, hopefully someday it is promoted in every company even in schools as paperless campaign.

Cons

Personally I don't have any issues in OneNote maybe it would be better if I they allows uploading of files higher than 100mb.

### "One note is a perfect note taking device! "

March 15, 2019

4.0

It has been great! For business and for personal use.

Pros

What I like most is the ability to take digital notes throughout my different meetings and classes and then assign them to folders so there is no confusion. I love that I can take notes and easily have them on hand. I love that I can highlight or mark key points right then and there. The ability to access my notes on different devices has been wonderful!

Cons

I am not a fan of the different layouts between the online and downloaded version. It may be confusing as Microsoft turns to the cloud. I also wish that I could share with other platforms. I can only share with one note users.
