User Reviews

Users generally find OneNote useful and love its note-organizing capabilities, and it supports quick notes and finger drawing. However, persistent sync/sign-in issues, frequent crashes, and inconsistent UI behavior dominate complaints. Missing or unreliable features and hard-to-access support further reduce reliability across Apple devices. Addressing syncing reliability, stability, and usability would make it a stronger cross-device note-taking solution.
Pros
  • Very useful for taking and organizing notes, including meetings, presentations, and projects; easy to create and locate notes.
  • Strong user affection and loyalty; many reviews express love for OneNote.
  • Good for quick note-taking and memory capture.
  • Supports finger drawing on touch devices (drawing with finger or stylus).
Cons
  • Persistent sync/sign-in errors across devices, leading to repeated prompts and failed syncs.
  • Frequent crashes and overall instability impacting usage.
  • UI/UX problems: laggy or imprecise selection, overlays/menus obscuring navigation, and inconsistent behavior of core features.
  • Missing or unreliable features (e.g., textbox resizing, preserving formatting when copying, drag-and-drop with other apps, hiding completed items on iPad).
  • Difficulty contacting support or getting help when issues arise.

I am disappointed to find so many features missing. Is there any chance the iPad version will be updated to include more of the features provided on the Mac version?
