### "Digital Jotter"

Pros

One note is good for taking short notes that you want to refer to later. It is a very simple app to use and it automatically backs up notes to the cloud if you link your account.

I think this app is cool. I have no short comings to share

### "Onenote on phone device"

October 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

This application is very easy to use on small devices such as phones, iPads, etc. Notes are easily traceable and well stored.

Cons

Onenote can be used well in a daily basis for many purposes but as for now, I am not sure how to extract all information and have a table instead.

### "If OneNote fixes their user issue, it would be a 5-star app"

August 26, 2022

5.0

I unfortunately had to give up on it. If they so happen to fix this sign-in/editing folders issue, I’ll be the first one to hop back on.

Pros

It’s every notetaker and writer’s dream. The options are many and the potential is limitless.

Cons

Microsoft does not allow transfer of files from different emails or accounts. Signing in and utilizing the app is cumbersome as it won’t let you edit your folders from the app which is a MUST.

Pros

One Note is a great way to quickly take notes and organize them in a proper fashion to be shared between multiple devices for convenient access.

June 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's very simple, yet has a lot of optional features that one may choose to take advantage of or just use it for basic note taking.

### "Onenote has two versions"

January 16, 2019

4.0

Pros

What I've found is there are two versions on windows 10. One works well with INK (writing on the screen) and OCR (recognizing text) while the other does not. I think it's free vs paid and it's important to note which one you are using. Cloud sync is the only way to go on this so all devices keep the same notes at all times.

Cons

Sometimes difficult to understand which version to use. Not sure why the paid version doesn't automatically supersede the free version to limit this confusion.

### "The right project management tool for most microsoft-focused companies."

October 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

OneNote stacks a lot of features into one moderately simple interface. It's a huge step up from emailing word docs and Excel.

Cons

Real-time is not always real-time. The notebook layout is not intuitive and many users get lost. It's also not a smooth transition for users of older legacy systems.

### "OneNote is great for my paperless company!"

February 21, 2019

4.0

Pros

Our company is paperless - so using OneNote fits right in! I love taking notes on it during meetings, also love that you can use different color ink, and draw!

Cons

It is hard to use out in the field. It forces you to have to bring your laptop to meetings, and on the construction site.

August 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

I really love using OneNote for taking notes in class as it provides "notebooks," syncs onto my outlook account, and is super easy to format neat notes for printing.

### "I used one note for all training materials "

February 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like that you can have multiple sheets for notes in one file much like an excel spreadsheet. That allowed for many related materials to be compiled into one file folder.

Cons

It can be a little difficult to maneuver around different worksheets at first if you have multiple ones.

### "Microsoft OneNote Review - quick and efficient note making tool"

May 30, 2021

5.0

All in all a very good note making tool. The user interface is appealing and attractive and I personally liked it. This also comes with the Microsoft reliability.

Pros

I think if you have a standard license for Microsoft office then this is included and you dont have to spend anything extra. The software is very reliable like all other microsoft product and is a state of art. The user interface is quite attractive and appealing. Between insert and draw Menu you get everything you need to make note making easier.

Cons

In the limited time I used this software I didn't come to anything which I was looking for and found missing.

### "Simple and easy to use"

February 21, 2019

5.0

Pros

It's straightforward and simple to use with no difficulty. It's easy to train people to use it and I like the user experience

Cons

There aren't many - I think my main feedback is that I would like it to be integrated with Outlook Email and Calendar more rather than using as an app

### "For a university student, USE THIS"

December 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

This semester of my undergrad, I have utilized the iPad as a means of note taking. Microsoft OneNote is great for that, there are many functionalities that are great with the iPad and the Apple Pencil. I am able to take notes with precision and organization. My notes are very organized with OneNote and that is thanks to their easy to use and intuitive user interface. I am very happy with OneNote being a note taking app for me!

Cons

To be honest, there aren't many problems with this program/application when using it, it's very useful for both students in high school and university!
