### "Best note taking software! "

September 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

It’s easy to take notes especially during meetings or to help create lists or documents like when you’re planning a large workplace event. Then it’s easy to go back and search for certain things to organize it to assign tabs and keep yourself organized even in the midst of a chaotic day or week

Cons

No noted cons at this time, so far so good!

### "I love one note!"

May 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ability to set up task list for myself and my team and have it shared across multiple platforms I.e. phone,tablet, laptop, etc.

Cons

We have had a hard time with the notebook sharing across different accounts. It takes a little bit to figure out how to share some notes while locking others.

### "This is an absolute have to have!"

November 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

This is the best there is out there, I will not leave from this program because I've come to know it's features and it's the best!

Cons

The only con I could say about this is that it has to be purchased as a package with the other programs and not indiviallly but other than that it's good.

### "Great tool!"

December 13, 2018

4.0

Has helped tremendously with month end reports and driver scorecards.

Pros

The ability to drop & drag in order to share along with updates of when the file was viewed is a great feature.

Cons

Looks to have small glitch where one link overlaps another link. It could just be the way our share site was set up.

### "Great app for notetaking"

July 23, 2021

5.0

Pros

It's simple, intuitive and easy to navigate. Takes no time at all adjusting to it. It's a really good notetaking app. It allows you to organize your notes into groups/chapters. It's easy to search through the notes.

Cons

Sharing notes with many people doesn't work so well, the program glitches, things get updated very late.

### "Wonderful features, cohesive notebook"

December 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

I really enjoy how you can make "chapters" of your notes and that the notes will sync whether you're using the desktop version or online. I feel like I can be on the go with my notes without being constrained with saving them locally. Not to mention you can find notes easily without having scattered Google Docs!

Cons

Certain features that are usually found in Microsoft Word (i.e. super/subscript shortcuts) are not available in OneNote.

### "A versatile super virtual notebook"

January 30, 2019

4.0

Pros

As an artist who has tendencies to draw some doodles while taking notes, this works just like your everyday notebook where you don't have to worry about technicalities, i.e. microsoft word's indentation, margins, etc, when drawing or taking notes.

Cons

I sometimes find the software to be running slower than before. There's also this one time the software corrupted one of my notes. Good thing it was just short notes and doodles.

### "Microsoft OneNote Review"

June 26, 2021

3.0

My overall experience with this software was terrible. I still cannot find the note I used this product for. I do not recommend this to anyone. It is too hard to use.

Pros

Not too much I like about this software. I do like that I can customize it for personal use. That it is purple.

Cons

I do not like this software. It is not user-friendly at all. It is hard to navigate. It is even harder to look for answers to get the help to use it. I tried several times to use it, but could not find where I made a note.

4.0

Pros

This software it will help you when it comes to take notes, also you can add video recording and can convert your handwriting into text (very nice and convenient!)

### "I use OneNote some time to time even if not on a day to day basis"

October 13, 2017

4.0

Pros

I use OneNote to having miscellaneous sheets on one given subject : for example, comparing differents investments, and sorting the sheets according investments

Cons

OneNote is less pratical than Word, perhaps because I am more used to Word. For example, having several pages on 1 sheet becomes sometimes messy.

### "Great Digital Notebook"

January 8, 2019

4.0

Pros

Keeps everything in one place. Good options for organization. The ability to color code is helpful.

Cons

The use of fonts is not very easy. But once you get the hang of it it is fine. Would like to see things be easier to align like with a ruler or something.

### "Part of the Office Family and a great addition"

January 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

Onenote has changed the way you take notes and collaborate. You can make notes with its stylis but also stay in sync with teams when changes are made. This works great with Outlook and makes it easy to use as it is part of the Office family.

Cons

This takes some getting use to and as always it can do more than you think but requires some time to get the best use out of it.

### "Good quality, versatile note-taking app"

February 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Material design makes it easy to get started. Flexible enough to accommodate different kinds of media, lightweight but rich word processing features.

Cons

The Apple Pencil support for my iPad is a little buggy, although it does get the job done. Although the interface is rich and clean, it doesn't feel as lightweight and responsive as some other note-taking applications.
