### "One Note works fine"

February 18, 2020

4.0

I have only used it a couple of times to take a note for something. Other than that, I haven't used it much. It works fine though.

Pros

It is handy if it is downloaded to your device. The ability to just start writing is a key to its use.

Cons

I have started going away from Microsoft products in general, since the cloud capabilities of others have surpassed it.

Pros

It acts like my reminder taker, my personal assistant. It helps me to remind my daily task and goal. After that, I barely nothing to forget any task at all.

Just a little concern on how the spreadsheets paste on OneNote. It creates other format. I do hope to copy the exact same way.

### "Goes further than your basic note app "

July 6, 2018

5.0

Good app for creating and managing notes.

Pros

Incredibly easy to use, to create and manage notes. You can also synchronize your email account and access your notes from anywhere. It also comes with the office package, so, in many devices you don't even need to download it.

Cons

There's no cons to this software, it serves it purpose. I really like when an app in simple and easy. For some it might be to simple, with not many sophisticated resources.

### "OneNote is Rich for Features"

October 25, 2022

4.0

Taking and organizing notes has never been this easy. It's easy to install, very accessible and has a lot of features.

Pros

It syncs rapidly, includes helpful features like the option to enter checkboxes, pictures, and drawings, and is simple to use without requiring a password each time. Projects made in onenote can be shared and accessed easily.

Cons

For beginners, it may take up some time to grasp its features and for some that are not familiar with microsoft, they may have a hard time to learn how to use it easily. Integrations with other Microsoft Office may be improved.

2.0

Pros

I like that the color of the icon is purple.

Cons

I struggle to determine what the need for OneNote is. I have tried to use it numerous times across different computers and I feel as though every time I use it the application it fails, freezes or does not perform like anticipated

### "Document / Communication Continuity"

November 12, 2019

5.0

OneNote allows active continuity of written documents and plans across multiple channels. As well, accessibility by remote team members, each with uniquely identified accounts is functional in look backs on plans and ideas. Once permissions are granted, access is shared easily.

Pros

Essentially one client connection with multiple users in different office locations.

Cons

The organizational key clicks take a little time to learn. Not as quick and easy for organizational presentation and history.

Reason for choosing Microsoft OneNote

This was recommended by my son in the opening of his business in a different state than my home office. In the multiple path of business opening and development our shared access, shared individual accounts, provided an easy path for collaboration in development and now in active business management.

### "Nice inclusion into the Office 365 suite"

September 30, 2018

4.0

Pros

The fact that OneNote is included in our Office 365 subscription is the reason we started using it in the first place. The ability to create live workbooks that can be viewed by team members simultaneously and have different pages/sections has really helped catalog our project information into one central location.

Cons

I wish there was some more features for text and picture formatting as it feels a bit limited in that regard.

September 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

Everything is always at you fingertips. All inclusive. Like writing on paper but better because you can organize your notes in a better way.

5.0

Pros

I love how easy to use this program is! I use it for everything from meeting notes to storing recipes!

### "Very simple and usefull"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Though it may not replace the notes app on phone, it could potentially be a primary note taking app on laptop and desktop computers if well advertised.

Pros

Its a cery simple tool to take quick notes and meeting minutes. It comes with a few templates to use from and you can customize the colors, font, etc, and add links and media.

Cons

Though its a very simple and user friendly tool, its not as common as some other tools. For example, I find it much easier to use the notes on my phone l, or a word doc if I am on computer to take notes.

### "Extremely user friendly! Best tool for screenshots of PC"

October 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

Love how easy it is to use. And how you can collaborate with it. It is the best tool by far for screenshots from your PC. I have used it for everything from project documentation to training in Power Point presentations. You can screenshot each step as it will be seen on the PC screen, which makes it so useful.

Cons

The notebook must be organized and if you are not paying attention, you can send it to the wrong notebook or the wrong page of a notebook.
