It still easy to use still take notes and share notebooks with others. > > **Cons**: I can't get some functions to work like they use to and are supposed to work. I can't print from the now as I have been able to do so in the past. ----- ### "Great Flexible Organiser" — 5.0/5 > **Chelsea** | *12 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Onenote is a great space to organise notes in sections and pages. It has the option to add images or checklists. Perfect for organising notes and syncs across all platforms. > > **Cons**: Formatting is a little clunkier than other applications, which can be tricky to get your head around. > > Onenote is really helpful and can be a great way to organise and keep on top of notes, planning or just brainstorming. It is perfect for both work and personal, especially study. ----- ### "Estimator of Marketing" — 4.0/5 > **Fannie** | *16 June 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: OneNote is easy to edit and update, allows quick copy-and-paste of information, and provides excellent organization through notebooks, sections, and pages > > **Cons**: OneNote is easy to use for note-taking and organizing information, but it can sometimes have issues when copying and pasting content from other documents, especially when complex formatting is involved. > > Microsoft OneNote is that copying and pasting content from other documents or applications does not always work perfectly. ----- ### "Simple and Useful Tool for Organizing Notes and Ideas" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 May 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Microsoft OneNote is how easy it is to capture and organize information in one place. It works like a flexible notebook where notes, images, links, and even sketches can all be added without worrying about structure too much, which makes it very practical for daily use. Ease of use is one of its strongest points. Creating and organizing sections and pages feels natural, and it does not take long to get comfortable with the layout. For team collaboration, it is useful because multiple people can work on the same notebook and see updates in real time. This makes it helpful for sharing meeting notes or project ideas without sending files back and forth. In terms of document management, it keeps everything well organized within notebooks and sections, so information is easy to find when needed. It also adds to productivity since it is simple to quickly jot down ideas and keep track of tasks without switching between different tools. Value for money is good, especially since it is included with Microsoft 365 for many users, which makes it accessible without extra cost. Customer support is available through Microsoft resources and help guides, which are usually enough for resolving common issues. > > **Cons**: What I like least about Microsoft OneNote is that syncing can sometimes be slow or inconsistent, especially when working across multiple devices. It can take a while for updates to show up everywhere, which can be a bit frustrating. Another issue is that the organization system, while flexible, can become messy if not managed carefully. When there are many notebooks and sections, it can get harder to keep things structured and easy to find. There are also some limitations when it comes to formatting compared to more advanced word processing tools. It works well for notes, but not so much for more detailed document work. Overall, it is very useful, but these small issues can affect the experience at times. > > Overall experience with Microsoft OneNote has been very positive. It is a simple and practical tool for taking notes, organizing ideas, and keeping everything in one place. It fits well for both personal use and work related tasks, especially when there is a need to quickly capture information. It is easy to use on a daily basis and helps stay organized without much effort. Even though there are a few minor issues like syncing delays or limited formatting options, it still remains a reliable and useful app for managing notes and improving productivity. ----- ### "Excellent note taking app" — 4.0/5 > **Pete** | *18 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is integrated with the Microsoft Office system, syncs to the cloud easily, works on a number of different OSes and devices. > > **Cons**: the layout could be better, and it is hard to do housekeeping and clear out old notes. Would be nice to have a way of seeing old notebooks/pages. It also takes a few days to create OneNote sections for students in their class Teams. > > Overall Onenote has been an excellent note taking app, it works with stylus, allows inserting of documents, shows who edited the text, and works well for education where each student gets a one note in their class team. ----- Page: 1 / 80\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/397801/onenote?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/397801/onenote) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
