| 2024-11-30 |  | | OneNote is perfect for my needs. It is very easy to use with only a couple of things I would change. I use it for everything. I use sticky notes for short lists or to-do lists. I use the notebooks for my journaling, Kindle reading notes, and so much more. I absolutely love this app. It was my last resort when my journal app stopped working. I'm very glad I tried it bc now I use it all day. |
| 2024-11-30 |  | | I've used this app for years and had no issues. Today i wanted to add another page to my notebook and i get a message that says im unable to view or open already created page because the page has been moved, deleted or I (the creator) don't have enough permissions to view something i created so i have the option of backing out or removing my intellectual property.. Ok.. So i log into onedrive on my macbook pro and all my pages from 2014 to present are gone. Everything gone.. all my work.. |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | Still having issues with pages not saving entries. I'll make a note on a page, back out, and it'll be gone next time I come back. I only use these pages on one device, so it's not a sync error (which is also obnoxious). Fix this issue and this app is an easy 5 stars. |
| 2024-11-26 |  | | OneNote is amazing! I use it to capture my thoughts and otherwise organize my life. I love that it gives me the option to bold, italicize, and change the size of text. I love how I can put anything anywhere. The only reason I give it four stars is because OneNote is bad at syncing instantaneously between devices; hence, I use Google Docs for that purpose. |
| 2024-11-25 |  | | - Find tool only shows the 1st use of my keyword without an option to see others - Word selection tool isn't precise (Often selects wrong words; Doesn't allow me to see selections that are covered by my finger) - Occasionally sends me to the bottom of the page after touching any area. Find tool doesn't allow me to quickly return to where I left off - No option to change highlight color or edit indented bullet-point type |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | My experience with this app is Meh. Been using it for years, despite some drawbacks and issues where I'm like, "Come On, Microsoft Really?" I've been hoping for improvements, like how about allowing the ability to change fonts, sizes, colors, etc. inside of a note? Nope! A simple no-brainer, but you can't... Adding images and attachments... Super-clunky. Sheeeeeeesh! Trying to add and sync your notes after install is hit/miss And now... Biometrics/fingerprint not working properly... Fix this! |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | Not Always Saving Notes. There's a bug where if you navigate away without adding a line break, your most recent change isn't saved. If all you do is enter one note or URL or thought and move on, you will never have your notes saved. I've lost tons of articles this way, be very careful using this app |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | Has development for this app been abandoned? I left a five start review in 2017, but I have no choice but to revise it and dramatically lower my star rating right now. I'm using OneNote on Pixel 8 and it is just so laggy, I can't even type properly. Selecting text and managing the formatting is nearly impossible. I'm even using the Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard! |
| 2024-11-18 |  | | One of my favorite and most used programs for data & Informational storage. I use it for everything from photo albums to vocational notes, project outlines etc. I especially love how it is inter-device compatible so I can access my notebooks & notes any anywhere at any time. the feature to add images and audio to almost anything is a real plus for me. you can also lock your notebooks so Noone else can see them should your security is breached which is good for sensitive data. |
| 2024-11-17 |  | | Use it for college classes. Easy to use, and having a search bar that reads my handwriting is wonderful. Only major complaint is the handwriting to text function is a bit jumpy, and will try to split words when I am still in the middle of writing them. Might be easier to just use the regular pens. |
