"Great tool for notes, drawings, photos"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? It's like a physical notebook on your computer, except it's searchable! I think I would use it more if I had a tablet at work, but still great for standard desktop or laptop uses. I use it for meeting notes and early project planning What do you dislike about Microsoft OneNote? Kind of clunky software, can be slow to open files. Recommendations to others considering Microsoft OneNote: Great product! Would probably use it more if I had a tablet. ...

I also like that I can take a pic and it will insert it right away. All gets syncd the same and no issues at all. What do you dislike about Microsoft OneNote? There is nothing I dislike on this product, but the fact that I was not using before. If I knew how much my life and work skills would improve ...

"Be much more organised with your note taking"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? The page -> section -> notebook structure makes it extremely easy to organise your notes. I also really like being able to go back and edit notes later on (e.g. when i have a regular call I can easily see the notes from the last call and then add the new notes to the page). What do you dislike about Microsoft OneNote? The mobile and mac versions could be improved (e.g. by adding the functionality to filter by check boxes) Recommendations to ...

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.

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 ...
