Was able to retrieve information from a couplle of the more important sections from backups I had in another program.otherwise I probably would have given the app a '5-Star' rating, which I seldom do for any rating.Nothing is worth a 'Top Star' rating as there is ALWAYS 'something' wrong with it to not rate 'Top' rating. Never had any problems on the Windows computer, but recently had a minor problem where I lost several sections out of one of my notebooks that I couldn't get to synchronize and somehow eventually lost them all. Have been using OneNote since about 2003 as part of the Microsoft Office Home & Student package on my Windows computers then found and began using this app when I switched over to my PC and Windows Mini computers. I don’t have to be worried about all my work becoming obsolete tomorrow because a vendor decided to orphan its product (been there, have the t-shirt). I’m sure I could find something to complain about, but there’s so much to love that it’s not worth the effort!!īetter still, it’s worth investing the time it takes to create this repository because OneNote is backed by a huge corporation that continues to invest in keeping it fresh and stable. All of my work is automatically replicated across my laptop, tablet and phone so I can refer to it anywhere. Best of all, I can now selectively cloud-share this info with fellow aficionados so we are not all reinventing the wheel. I can organize quick “how-to” info from a box full of owners’ manuals, cut/paste essential posts from key “guru” forums into the appropriate owners’ manual section, insert pics of complex systems with annotations for use by a service tech should I need one while on the road, store info about future modifications including pics, diagrams, parts lists and vendors, etc, etc, etc. I use this exclusively on iOS/PC devices, so maybe there’s some compatibility issue built in by Microsoft to handicap Microsoft’s apps just a little bit, or vice-a-versa.Īfter having successfully used OneNote in my business operations for years, I have discovered it all over again in retirement as my “go-to” documentation repository for my vintage RV. ![]() ![]() That way if I want to start taking notes right away, I don’t have to keep throwing all of my impromptu notes into whichever notebook is the most synced and then move it later. I don’t know if this is to simplify syncing issues between devices and save space on each device, but I would rather there was an option to keep notebooks on a device and keep them synced. The only annoyance I have with it, and the reason it’s 4 stars and not 5, is that I have to “Open” all of my notebooks again on each device if I haven’t used OneNote on it for more than a few days. ![]() The organization is way better than any of the other apps out there, and there’s way more support on the backend as this is synced through Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud, so you know that it has the support of a company that’s not going anywhere. If you want to be able to organize your notes into more than just one tier of folders, then you have to move to OneNote. Only exception is Notability, which I think has a little bit better handwriting capability, but not nearly the organizational ability that OneNote has. Takes some time to build up a workflow, but once you do it’s miles ahead of almost every other note taker.
