"Microsoft OneNote"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? OneNote will keep your notes clear and very easy to use, placing other things and text exactly where you want them. You are able to personalize practically every element of the text of yours (color/type/size/effect). And templates can be increased. Another practical thing we are so fond of is actually that the objectives and the paperwork we have to assess and recognize are surely there. The great thing is the fact that everything is actually ...

"Incredible usage for medical school"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? One Note allows me to put in lecture slides, notes, and pictures from online all together, all while letting me annotate and highlight within the program. Honestly being able to use this with pictures as well is something I completely missed out on during undergraduate. What do you dislike about Microsoft OneNote? The program itself can be a bit clunky, i.e. taking some time to load, or the highlighting features not functioning as ...

"I switched to OneNote and got rid of my paper notebooks"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? I have all my notes available on my laptop and on my phone. Sync works very well. The search is fast. What do you dislike about Microsoft OneNote? It takes about 5 seconds to launch on my Android phone which can be annoying when I want to write a quick note, but it's only 5 seconds. Also switching between English and Hebrew works better on the desktop than on the mobile. Recommendations to others considering Microsoft OneNote: Make it a habit ...

"Best Note-taking App for Collaboration"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? The ability to attach documents as you write notes is my favorite. They would be attached as I create my notes. It creates a systematic flow to my writing, and I would not have to worry about where I had uploaded my attachments. What do you dislike about Microsoft OneNote? Maybe I do not know this, but I wish there was a feature to export the note as a PDF file. I would love for the final product of my notes to be a PDF file, especially ...

"A No Brainer"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? It is designed to work just like a tabbed notebook that everyone is used to using, so it doesn't take a lot of explanation when showing people how to use the tool. The company I work for tends to bit a little more old school, so it's not uncommon for coworkers to still rely on handwritten paper notes and notebooks filed away. Needless to say, they rarely if ever can find the information they're looking for, meanwhile I can use the search bar ...

"One of the best Personal and team note making tools"

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? For the team retrospections or any meeting where many members need to write points simultaneously, this tool is very helpful. For personal note making also very good. Sync up speed is better. The security is good with the Microsoft OneNite. This is one of the best multi user collaboration softwares out there in the market currently. It is useful to take notes and gather information from even multiple people and store it. The information stored ...

"Excellent application for taking notes."

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? Each time I use the app, I like OneNote, I know that my information would be secure because it's secured automatically. It is also synchronized on all my devices through my Microsoft apps. I have also found that this software fits very well with iOS and Android. Another interesting feature I like is that my tablet and pencil also allows me to use, a note which is very useful for converting notes freehand on computer text. What do you dislike ...

"Great product, with friendly user interface."

What do you like best about Microsoft OneNote? One note is easy to use and well aligned with other products from Microsoft. Notes can be organized and found easily. One notation is very appealing and eye-catching. What do you dislike about Microsoft OneNote? I don't like the style area being 'free form,' which means you can click anywhere on the website. I want it to be a 'type' like a word from Microsoft that fits the entire text. To my knowledge, this free form option can not be turned ...
