### "One Note Too Many"

May 21, 2018

2.0

Pros

I guess the main pro is that it's a Microsoft product. You know it will always be around and supported. It has easy to use writing features like Word.

Cons

Overly complex. Difficult to learn. I really, really wanted to make it work for me. I tried multiple times to organize my notes in it. In the end I always returned to Evernote.

### "Great for sharing and view wherever you are"

July 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like the ability to open on note on my computer, phone and other devices. Similar services have a cap on how many devices can be connected and this can be annoying in cases where you dont have any of the "connected devices" infront of you.

Cons

I dont use this all that often, at this point I dont have any cons to report.

### "Using OneNote"

May 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love using OneNote for all of my classes! It is great as I can type and draw whenever its great. I am able to easily take all the notes I need and separate each class with its own page.

Cons

The only Con with this application is the lack of easily of transferring photos. It is hard to get some photos pinned to the notes correctly. That is the only feature.

### "Another option to take notes but not the best one"

May 4, 2018

3.0

Pros

Is free to use as a mobile app, you can add images, links and other resources, you can manage multiple notes and also add tabs to have more control.

Cons

I just don't like the interface and for me was slow to sync in different devices, at the beginning I felt lost on how to use it, it was not easy to understand at first.

### "Creative Note-Taking tool"

December 5, 2018

5.0

But Im still Satisfied using OneNote and I enjoy using it as my planner.

Pros

Very creative and enjoyable note-taking application. I also used OneNote as my planner because it is very flexible application depends on how you use it.

Cons

Because OneNote is very creative and many designs note-taking apps. It consumes a huge amount of storage thas only the problem I saw in OneNote.

### "Love it - Perfect for Business Notes"

August 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

Great product - I really like the tabular view for notes. I like the fact you can record audio, video and take notes all at the same time. I also like the screen capture. I am sure I am not using OneNote to it's fullest potential, but I am learning that this product can be used for so much more than JUST NOTES!

Cons

I wish it had a timeline when it comes to the audio so you can tag text with the audio. The one that is free from the Microsoft Store is different and the use of a similar icon is confusing.

### "One Note Fun!"

August 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

Microsoft OneNote is a great way to access your notes, make reminders, and even share your notes with others! I enjoy the fact that you can write anywhere on the page and add new sections. You can insert pictures, charts, or draw on your notebook. It's actually a lot of fun and offers a great way to organize what you need to accomplish.

Cons

The only con is that you cannot sign up with a work email and have to use your regular gmail or Ymail account. That's not a dealbreaker, but I use it at work.

### "PRACTICAL"

April 20, 2020

4.0

To be honest i like it , to work on desk front or laptops, for the cell phone i rather prefer other apps with an easy menu and more features.

Pros

One note was a easy tool on microsoft at the beggining , i like that they added more fatures to be practical.

Cons

I dont use it often and i almost forgot i have it because there are already many apps on the market with the same features.

### "Almost awesome but not quite"

January 23, 2016

3.0

Onenote combined with other office products such as onedrive and 0365 groups can be useful for team note taking. It gets annoying when you want to try to draw pictures in the notes. some images can be added but to get to boxes and lines you need to open visio which while integrated is akward

Pros

Great for dumping notes as you go and finding and sharing

Cons

Limited options for organizing the details within a note

5.0

Microsoft OneNote is a great app for minute taking

Pros

This app makes it easy to take notes from ones mobile device and retrieve them later. it also syncs to the cloud automatically.

### "OneNote is a pretty basic notepad, not a lot of features"

June 6, 2018

3.0

Pros

It is a microsoft product, therefore, it syncs using your microsoft account. This is great for those who already use microsoft products often.

Cons

I wish I did not have to have a microsoft account to use this product. It does not have as many features, and is not as well layed out as other notepads.

October 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

We use OneNote to track minutes and action items from conference calls and meetings. The ability to simultaneously view and edit the files with my colleagues is very useful to us.

### "I like it a lot"

December 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

I think the best thing about Onenote is the clip tool. When I'm doing research for some paper, I get everything I need off the web easily with Onenote. I love it. Saves me so much time!

Cons

The boxes sometimes aren't the best, I would prefer if it could only save the texts and not put them in boxes. But it's still a great tool.
