Regardless of what your favorite platform is, you can use OneNote. It’s available in different platforms outside Windows including OS X, Android, and iOS. Connecting the Notebook that was created in the web app to desktop app was kind of tricky. Sometimes it worked, but often it did not. My only disappointment is on the synchronization between the web app and the desktop app – at that time, there was no OneNote mobile app. Generally, OneNote works sufficiently well.

We can insert bullets, checkboxes, and other complement marks to put across your notes, ideas, or thoughts more clearly. Content can be placed freely anywhere in the working area of OneNote without restriction. OneNote is more flexible in terms of content management. OneNote is part of Office Suite and inherits the same tastes and features from its sister apps such as Word, in particular. I stare at the page for more than 3 minutes (not wanting to add anything yet to avoid creating a conflict version) and suddenly the update appears without my doing anything.Before Evernote, I was a long time user of OneNote, Microsoft’s note-taking application. The tell-tale sign is that the latest updated page is not at the time in the 'Recent Notes' section.įor example, today I made a change to one page using the Android app at 8am but when I open the same page in the Windows app at 11am, the change does not appear in the page although I made sure that 'Page Sync status' icon on the top bar already displays 'Page last synced just now'. However, I sometimes notice (about 10% of the time) that even though both devices are connected to my local LAN, there is a lag for one device to detect a change made in the other device, even if the update happened a few hours before. In the Windows app I turn on the 'Sync notebooks automatically' option, and in the Android app I turn on the 'Sync all page content' already.
