### "Microsoft's Most Under Rated App" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *December 22, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that it functions like a note pad. I literally use this like it is my be all end all note taking tool and I couldn't do my job without it. I love how organized I can be with it.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes I have an issue when transferring text from OneNote to an email. It will change your font and formatting. Be careful
> 
> Overall, I need this to survive. I really do. This helps you stay organized and is basically a tech version of a notebook. It is my favorite and most used Microsoft app.

### "Everyone needs to use it\!" — 4.0/5

> **Athene** | *September 3, 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is a very easy to use and versatile tool. It’s very intuitive to use, you can incorporate easily different elements like text/images/drawings etc, and you can link everything back to microsoft office or Teams amazingly\!
> 
> **Cons**: Some more advanced tools for organization could be useful. I am missing the tagging option for the files I am collaborating with people from my company.
> 
> Overall OneNote is a great tool to use for project management. I use this almost every day for tracking my team’s tasks, projects and to-dos, and I love that you can easily integrate it with other Microsoft tools like Excel/Word/Teams etc . I have recommended it to multiple colleagues even for organizing the workload and tasks of external partners and consultants, and it’s working great\!

> **Verified Reviewer** | *January 2, 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10

### "Excellent note taking tools" — 5.0/5

> **Prachi** | *January 18, 2026* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Excellent tool to maintain documentation and notes. Multiple books with individual pages help keep in organisation.
> 
> **Cons**: Should be simpler to share notebooks with other members. There should be drawing tools to use for note taking.
>

### "Highly Recommend" — 5.0/5

> **Tatiana** | *August 28, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love that I can take and organize my notes digitally without the fear of losing any information. I also like how OneNote is getting more and more integrated with other applications, for example our newest AI component, Copilot. I love that I can import emails to save to my OneNote or create a table in one note and export it to excel. The application is very user friendly, easy to navogate and customize to my liking.
> 
> **Cons**: There isn’t much I don’t like. I supposed when I want to format documentation, that can be a little difficult sometimes. However, OneNote is not really made for this so I typically utilize PowerPoint or word to format content (depending on what’s being generated) and then I import it into OneNote.
> 
> I really very positive experience with OneNote. I utilize mine to house the most important information related to my day to day duties, terminology, contacts, projects, and processes. I love the tab and sub tab capabilities and color coding options.
