Comments on Microsoft OneNote: Save Notes for Android
★★★★☆Michael Shanks· Aug 1, 2026
So much better than Evernote and free! I am still learning more and more what I can do. I am very glad I changed over 5 years ago!
★★★★★Allen Wright· Aug 13, 2026
I started to use this app to record interesting cases at work for future CPD, but find it is so useful my use of it has spread across my life! Voice notes while doing astronomy, great! Field notes when I am on site visits, brilliant! Reflections and thoughts on papers, so easy. It has really helped capture my thoughts and move past a real barrier for me, which was managing and organizing those thoughts to be built on later. It works across my devices which is another barrier removed too!

The best note app around. It still needs some additions though, like collapsing subpages and an easier way for links with the Notebook to work.
★★★★★Spaiuc Emanuel· Aug 4, 2026
OneNote is a really great up for journaling, agendas and notes in general. I use this app for my daily routine progress and the interface, the simplest options and everything, it gaves me a comfortable space to write on, that's why I am keeping tracking my progress. I would totally recommend this app if you want to journal, I found this to be the best at it.

Edit: Page conflicts badly persist deleting large swath of notes. It always happens when you leave the app too soon after typing or switch apps quickly. But you have to log in from laptop to resolve it. Can't lock whole notebooks, only sections. For locked notes, it's so long & winded to get to your last note. If you change apps, it's back to home screen after a while. Voice type model is so backwards. Everything is a canvas, no text only notes, you have to type with padding margins so off.

FFS, why have you removed my review? You had a moderately good version some time ago, now once again. Every time I am told I am not signed in. Then nearly every page has a conflict. Only this phone has one item running. I have it removed from my laptop (because of this conflict error). I reinstalled onto my laptop and NO conflicts. I used one note online and NO conflicts detected, yet on the phone I am told there are conflicts I've cleared cache, data and reinstalled - repeatedly

It doesn't have alignment features like left alignment, center, right alignment and justify.
★★☆☆☆A Google user· Aug 8, 2026
I am experiencing a problem which makes the use of the app very frustrating. Every time I open a specific page of a notebook I get the message that I am not signed in, whereas all the other pages and notebooks work fine. Also, the same page does not sync. I sync manually, nothing. I deleted the page and added it again, nothing. I uninstalled the app and installed it again, nothing. I signed out and signed back in again, nothing. And yes, my internet connection is fine, I checked.
