Notability is great in apple land but the entire point was something that worked on both sides but mainly for my 2in1. I tried OneNote years ago and it was terrible -- it's gotten so much better!!!😅

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of universities have a deal with Microsoft giving students free access to office 365 so price might not be an issue for a lot of students.

Best OneNote feature is audio sync. Record a lecture or meeting while taking notes. Later, click on a area of your notes and the audio will play. Or, play the audio and it will scroll through your notes.

OneNote is a powerhouse! Been using it for years to run a theater and a ton of music festivals. That note taking app has been the backbone to almost 10k shows in my career. And, platform agnostic!! As a technical director, I can tell you the most important software you will ever use in the music industry isn't ProTools or QLab, but MS Office (which makes OneNote even more powerful with outlook integration)

When you forget the laptop can open farther than you think and have a mini heart attack😂

I like that you are not the usual american youtuber that knows only about apple products ... I have been using onenote for more than 5 years ..designing icons/logos/interfaces for my mobile app on my note phone (during brakes at work, on my commute, etc), refining them on my ipad / win 2in1, using them while programming the app on my windows workstation . working now on a game using the same workflow . the multi platform thing is amazing. hopefully it will stay free .

I went full digital 3 years ago with one note, and as a university student I can confirm the usability. I take every notes on my x360 hp envy and I can modify them anytime on my smartphone...

I totally agree with you. I switched off Noteability about 4 Months ago. I use both Windows, Mac and an iPad 11 Pro and am totally impressed with Microsoft's integrated Office 365 products. You certainly have a right to be excited. There is nothing better in my opinion.

The only bad thing in one note it’s that you can’t set a paper size like an A4 for example, you are stuck with the almost infinte white background, and this is a problem if you wanna print your notes.

I am a Chinese junior high student YouTuber and I am currently using OneNote to take notes while I am studying. However, I didn't know there were some useful features in it.
This video helps me a lot to learn some useful features in OneNote. Thanks for sharing very much!

This seems like a much needed solution for people that have multiple iOS devices, android devices, windows devices and Mac OS devices.

I used to take notes on it, but it started eating tons and tons of cache (literally 90 GB) when I was on 3h lectures/classes, my notes were as simple as plain text and some few images, but I don't know why the app was climbing my storage so hard, I'm now taking notes with Notion and it's literally incredible and minimalist, ly sara 💖

I go between devices all the time! MacOS, IPadOS, windows, android, linux...etc! from a student to my professional life I use this non stop! such a great tool!

Imagine traveling to the past and bending the screen like that. 😂

I have been using OneNote for years. I couldn’t live without it. Years ago, while in grad school, I would scan copies of my book from my scanner directly into OneNote and use the OCR built in to OneNote to copy everything into a text file. Then when we would have an open book test, we would just search for the terms associated with the test question.

Most recently, I started a new job a few years ago and now I use it to take notes, screenshots, save documents/links, etc.

TIP: If you want to avoid the horror of text boxes overlapping, create just one text box. When you want to add content, go to the last line and use cursor to move down. That way you can stay in the same text box.
One Note has an infinite canvas and if you ever hope to export your notes to PDF, you have to be careful how wide you make your notes.

I use One Note on my Mac all the time and it gets really annoying because double click&drag doesn't select by word as it does in most word processing apps. I have sent several messages to Microsoft One Note feedback, but still nothing.
I also miss links from One Note to other apps. One Note creates really cumbersome links that point to One Drive and there are very few apps that are able to open One Note and show the note when clicking a link created in One Note. Most just open a browser. And web version of One Note is not very useful...
Other than that, using One Note on Mac, iPad and iPhone is quite fun. I still have a long way to go with 5GB free One Drive storage I got when creating a new outlook.com login for starting One Note.

If you install office lens from Microsoft on your phone, after taking picture with the app you can save it automatically to one note to work from laptop/MacBook/iPad with the scanned document. Office lens automatically create a scanned document from the picture.
