Pros

Utilized on a shared page, it works extremely well for project notes.

The formatting is a bit clunky. I wish it was more like word in that sense.

### "Good Application for maintaining notes"

September 4, 2018

3.0

Pros

Wonderful application to create notes and maintaining the to-do list and also increases the student experience with the help of notes on powerpoint slides.

Cons

It is not the best experience it your screen does not support touch for creating more handy notes. It seems to be quite complicated initially.

### "Great tool for sharing notes"

October 16, 2018

4.0

Pros

Multiple people at the office can use it at the same time and it can sync with several devices so you can access notes very easily for time saving.

Cons

Sometimes it runs a bit slow so I think the running time could use some improvement for time saving as well.

### "Works for its purpose, extra features could use work."

July 22, 2021

4.0

Pros

Quick to start, offers a variety of features and works well for document storage and organization.

Cons

Optical character recognition could use improvement. This was the main reason I was using this product, and it required extensive sanitation after each job.

### "Some learning curve"

August 28, 2021

Pros

I used this to share recipes with friends. I found it to be a good tool after some learning curve of how to input "notes" and share them with a select group of friends.

Cons

I didn't find it very obvious initially how to set this up and share notes / recipes.

### "The right one to take notes if you plan to stick with Microsoft suite"

October 23, 2019

4.0

I was looking for a tool to take notes out of meetings, but OneNote missed some points.

Pros

It seems to be simple - and gets the job done.

Cons

It's VERY sticky - when you start using it, it will attempt to start along with the system everytime and it takes some work to switch that off - that's rather off-putting.

### "Easy to access, but overshadowed by all the other note products out there"

July 28, 2018

2.0

Pros

Like most of Microsoft's modern products, One Note is clean and easy to access for users. It is appealing on the surface.

Cons

With all the other methods of making notes and lists, I have never been interested in using this product. I much prefer google based products to the microsoft based product, as a Macu User
