### "Messy note "

August 25, 2020

3.0

You can share a whole slew of work on One note and it’s laid out a little better than google docs. The ability to work on it through the familiarity of Microsoft is a plus. However, once more layers are added, it can become difficult to navigate and find what you were once looking for!

Pros

The ability to share work and make a whole universe of it with tabs and subcategories. The familiarity of Microsoft editing.

Cons

Once you build that “universe,” it can become very complicated to navigate. Sometimes I forget how I got to the place I originally set up and it can be frustrating.

### "A good cloud notes taking app"

September 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

OneNote free version has numerous positive functionalities such as : tools for better organization, notes design is flexible and it's integrating well with the Office suite.

Cons

Is best suited for desktops and tablets, but not for mobile devices. The mobile version of OneNote could have been better developed. Also the taking time to get started and synchronize all notes it's taking a bit of time.

### "Outsounding organizational tool"

December 18, 2019

4.0

Overall very happy. This app is useful when I don't have my MacBook with me.

Pros

Really good software to gather content from various resources and organizing them all in one place. Allows you to draw pictures, add sound, and videos.

Cons

I'm confused why it's not possible to integrate it with Outlook. Also would be nice to have the ability to get sent notifications to my phone.

3.0

5.0

Pros

You can open as many pages as you need and work on them on the same time .You can put put on text and also draw on the notes . The helper within the app will create a template for you and sharing is also easy .

Cons

If you have too many notes saved it can be hard to find what you need . And adding media files significantly increases the loading time .

### "Useful note taking app"

October 12, 2017

4.0

If they had tag features it would be great.

Pros

It has many writing features unlike other note applications. It's interface is very simple to use and it's a cross-platform application. Hyperlink and drawing feature is very beneficial.

Cons

Loading isn't fast enough, the windows desktop application interface is very basic in terms of browsing through notes.

### "OneNote Review - It's good you should try it"

December 10, 2019

4.0

We use OneNote to track user experiences on a weekly or project basis. It is mostly used for personal tracking and note taking, but it does allow for peer collaboration.

Pros

It is a reliable way to store your notes. Everything is together in one place and you don't have to worry about losing paper notes or opening multiple files to locate anything. It also does allow for collaboration, making it even more useful.

Cons

Connectivity could be slightly better, even within MS products. The cloud version is not as robust as the desktop version.

### "OneNote Review"

July 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love OneNote its used by several companies and organizations making it diversity within the workforce. It's a super easy and organizational tool to use with any eye catching attributes.

Cons

I would say if you have to remember to use this app and it can be on the slower side and requires several "clicks" to get to the content.

### "Hard to navigate all the features"

June 19, 2021

4.0

I like to use it to take notes while talking to clients and then sharing them with the team. It's great that it uploads to the cloud and connects with the rest of the Microsoft suite, but still trying to learn all the functionality.

Pros

It's handy that this is included in the whole Microsoft suite, but it isn't the easiest to navigate and figure everything out. I do enjoy using my iPad to take notes and being able to pull them up on other devices.

Cons

It's not super easy to figure out. Overall the difficulty in figuring things out has delayed me adopting it fully.

### "Sharing notes made easy"

July 4, 2018

4.0

It is helpful but also not something I can’t live without.

Pros

Our team started using OneNote in staff meetings and when a working on projects. It is easy to write out ideas and then upload and share with others. It is great to have a software that easily sorts and organizes notes from different events. It is pretty basi but also easy to use.

Cons

Onenote isn’t very robust and the features are minimal. Because it isn’t one of the more we’ll known Microsoft programs it took our staff a while to implement and use the software.

### "Little difference between MS one note and MS word "

October 12, 2018

3.0

It's a good app it just needs more features and functionality.

Pros

▪The squre Bullets with the nick inside bring a new feature to one note . ▪Recording a audio track direct to the file is another added advantage .

Cons

▪It's almost the same as Microsoft word. ▪Please add more ink colours and ink thickness on mobile versions.

### "Keep Notes"

March 19, 2018

5.0

Important to learn. Its great use of technology.

Pros

It is very easy to use and almost compatible with all different systems. Best used on a Surface because it gives interface with pen and pencils.

Cons

It doesn't show print preview lines as in Word. Which makes it difficult when exporting already imported file from PPT.
