2025-01-28 | I really like how easy it is to organize your notes and then have them sync with the computer. I often dictate my notes on my phone and just watch them appear on my computer screen so that I can edit them easily or use coPilot. although there are so many functions, I don't use as many of them as I should. | ||
2025-01-25 | I love this app! I use it for tracking my students learning (piano lessons). I have the program on my phone and my surface. I use my phone for the lessons, and then I lesson plan on my surface. The syncing can be a bit slow, which is something I've longed for to speed up. This often causes corrupted files and errors. But I've learned to not have them both open at the same time. One thing I've been wondering...has anyone else had issues with "read-only mode" being random turned on? Love the app | ||
2025-01-22 | Really good to keep up with everything without having to open up Word. It's cool that you can add a list to the home screen. Wish you could go to the next line even when you're doing voice to text and there was a visual page with margins instead of a text box that opens. The overall ease and organization of the app makes me really like it for everyday note taking needs since I have so much to do, no help doing it, and memory problems associated with PTSD. Microsoft over Google every time. | ||
2025-01-21 | đ **Essential App for Daily Life Management!** In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, managing countless tasks can be overwhelming. Under immense pressure, it's easy to forget important tasks that need to be completed. That's where the "OneNote" app becomes my go-to solution! đ⨠With OneNote, I can effortlessly take notes on my daily tasks and other relevant information, keeping my life organize | ||
2025-01-18 | Only because it glitches, and changes into a different format. For example: When you load the app, your selections are 2X4 top to bottom with the info visable. When it glitches, your selection is a list from top to bottom. But it's still my 1st choice use this app, and it's awesome to use for work. Thanks OneNote. | ||
2025-01-17 | Could be great, but I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling to sync with my Windows computer. No idea why. It's very frustrating though because it seems to happen at the worst times. Just got embarrassed by it again today I'm a meeting where I didn't have my laptop and therefore didn't have the info I should have. Nothing I did later would sync them. Had to reinstall again. | ||
2025-01-16 | Random crashes, freezes, long loading times, unwarranted synchronization errors, notebook file path chaos and confusion, unable to change default notebook, renames don't sync, sometimes even refusal to load a page and it displays a blank screen instead, and so on. I've been using this app for years because of the Microsoft ecosystem so unfortunately I can't switch. Horrible user experience. Update: "unlock with fingerprint next time" does not unlock with fingerprint next time. âšī¸ | ||
2025-01-14 | What the hell is this garbage update as of Jan 10th? The picture tool has been gutted. You used to be able to edit the picture you took before uploading it, such as adding text or simple drawings, now you can't. You used to be able to remove photos you took before adding them to the note in a sort of gallery, now you cant Get your act together Microsoft, this went from a solid 4 star app to a 1 star by removing a bunch of features I made routine use of | ||
2025-01-14 | So simple to use. connects and syncs to all my devices. easier than a bunch of random apps I've tried. I'm sticking with Microsoft for everything. Microsoft, please don't follow Apple. I left them because they felt like they needed to think for me on things I didn't want and it made my user experience miserable. i left them for you. | ||
2025-01-14 | It's usable, but pretty buggy. It has a lot of synching issues and other weird quirks. For instance, in Notebook view, it shows little thumbnails of all of your pages. Those don't get updated when you update the page. For example, if I have a to-do list labeled Monday with five items and then I change that to Tuesday with only three items in Notebook view it still shows Monday with five items... it fails to update the thumbnail even after being refreshed. |
