I love you onenote you saved my college days. As someone who is still struggling intensively in an unfortunate school, I’ve always preferred doing traditional notes but after downloading this app - I can never go back to paper and pen. THIS. APP. IS. SO GOOD. I love how there is the subcategories you can name and organise your notes in, which is very helpful for people like me who do subjects with a lot of writing and concepts. Also I love how I am able to access 2 years worth of notes from every and any device, which makes it super convenient and accessible to use. Though one downside is that sometimes the syncing takes too long and lowkey makes me impatient, but that doesn’t outshine the other positives that this app comes with. And best of all….ITS FULLY FREE. Like unlimited notebooks and everything!! This is my go to note taking app and even to just store my important documents and to keep track of everything. This is the app that has helped me truly become more organised and ace all my tests. Thank you onenote, you truly don’t know how much your app has helped me.
I like.

Edit - 24 Jan 2021: I don’t know why you want reviews when you don’t seem to take notice of them. Anyway, this is not in reference to the draw function in OneNote but to the ability of OneNote making use of the iPad wit Apple Pencil scribble feature. Will OneNote support the write to type feature? If so, the sooner the better, in my opinion.Leave draw features as they are because hand writing has its uses. But, when not in the draw section, set OneNote to make use of the iPad Scribble feature.Original review: I do love this app. As an author, I didn't want to spend money on one particular program when I had MS Office; so I'd started teaching myself how to use OneNote in conjunction with Word. I'm enjoying it. The fact that I can open a file on my iPad that I'd created on my computer, makes things so much easier for me when I want to work but can't be at my computer. The ability to swap between computer and mobile devices and seeing all updates in place, regardless of the device used, is fantastic. I also love the automatic save (not to be confused with Word's autosave) and think that should be a feature across all the programs in MS Office. In regards to adding lines to the pages' looks, I would like to see the option of dots to select from as well.
Placement of Notebooks, Sections and Pages AND Tag functionality
StripeyMc
I would really like the OneNote 2016 functionality to be on the ipad and office365 versions of onenote - The concept of Notebooks on the Left, Sections along the Top and Pages down the Right (or Left) hand side please. The current approach is really annoying. I have been using OneNote since inception and coming up for 20 years. Also, please let me customise my own tags - I usually run around 30 -50 customised tags. These tags are split between People, Companies and Projects. This way, I can run a search for all actions that need to be performed by a Person, Company or Project…. If you don’t reinstate this functionality, then you are no better than all the other note taking apps and I might as well review contemporary ones that are now available.I used to show people how I use OneNote and within 30 minutes, I could convert them from Paper based notes to OneNote digital note taking.

Great, but very glitchy

OneNote has been an awesome note taking tool, and I absolutely love that the pages have no edges which is a really handy feature for ad lib notes, but I must admit after using it for a few months the consistent glitches are getting really annoying. Randomly the pen stroke thickness will double the width I have selected, usually following an undo or eraser function, which means I have to stop, erase it, try again and again until eventually I click on and off enough times that it gets back to the right thickness that I have selected. This happens a lot, very annoying and disruptive to work. I have also noticed when I insert a photo and draw over the top of it the app starts to lag and sometimes when I go to draw with the straight line tool it goes nuts and randomly draws it somewhere else. Also, occasionally when I switch tools or hit the undo button the page will refocus at the very top of the page meaning I lose my place on the document I was working on. Apart from these few complaints it’s really great! Just wish the glitches weren’t so disruptive and could be patched out, it would improve the overall experience massively!
This month’s update is bug fixes only.
Thanks for using OneNote! We listened to your feedback and updated the application with optimizations to help improve your note taking experience.
