I'm actually going to crash out, this app is extremely frustrating and I genuinely want to throw my laptop out the window every single time I unfortunately have to use it. It's incredibly laggy. The e... See more

At first, I thought it was amazing. But after repeatedly losing an entire day's worth of notes several times theres no way that I can use it anymore. For some reason, Microsoft OneNote will regularly... See more

While transferring data to a new mobile, ONENOTE did not sync. Worse, it does not allow the data to be retrieved (Error message). I can see the note in my mobile but can't open it. The software offer... See more

The tools are great

The tools are great, however, tech support is the worst experience ever. You get sent to India and they hang up on you when they do not feel like talking. The fact that a company like Microsoft would have tech support that treats their customer like that is disconcerting. I would have rather had a root canal and that is not a joke...

Do not forget anything with Microsoft OneNote.

I like the Microsoft OneNote application because I can make all the important annotations and save them for later review, I have used this application a lot in work meetings, with this tool everything is captured, it is a program with a free software license to facilitate the taking notes, gathering information, also allows creating a virtual printer to send files or documents from other programs, OneNote facilitates the help to remember and take digital block notes for the continuous use of information, I also like it because it offers the possibility of adding drawings, diagrams, photographs, multimedia elements, audio, video and scanned images, I can synchronize OneNote in the cloud with Microsoft OnDrive and visualize all my notes in any computer that I find with internet access.

Great for notetakers!

I love using this for all my school work. I am doing my senior yer in high school, and in a school with compulsory devices for all students, that means a lot of typing. OneNote allows me to easily take down and keep track of my notes, without having to go back after typing them and format them out in a way that will make them easy to refer to when studying. I have recommended OneNote to may of my friends and other girls who ask what I am using, and find it overall a great program.
If I had any negatives to say about it, I would mention that for me it was quite confusing to set up, and I had to get the school IT staff to do it for me, as did my friends.

Danger - Deletes Entries

As a user of Evernote, I have been comparing it with Onenote. Onenote appeared to be easier and more reliable, and also had an excellent capability for adding graphs, so i began to prepare to transfer all my notes to Onenote. Then I found one of my entries, that had important information in it, was not syncing with my other devices. The title showed on another device, but there was a notice that full syncing had not yet been completed. So I worked with the different devices to try to make the sync complete. Then, right before my eyes, the important entry disappeared! It was gone forever. So this is the end of my experimentation with Onenote - if important entries can disappear just like that, it is too dangerous to continue to use.
