Migrated from Evernote and thought I'd give it a try as I was just so fed up with not being able to find a good note talking App. Honestly love this, you can keep private notes, which is what I needed it for, put a password on them and its brilliant, highly recommend people migrating from Evernote or looking for alternatives. No Ads which is brilliant so keep it up devs. Really Happy

It works for taking notes and organizing them into notebooks and sections but the loading experience is annoying

They did something and my onenote stopped syncing. Then it came back online a few days later and half my notes are gone.

Getting error message 'Working offline. Sign in to sync' on my two devices even though I am connected to the Wi-Fi and my other apps are working
★☆☆☆☆Jeffrey Stoltzfus· Sep 13, 2026
Desktop OneNote is good. But on Android, it's so frustrating it's almost useless. Update: The version released 8/30/2026 didn't fix the below issues: The app has very frustrating behavior with the built-in on-screen Android keyboard. The autocorrect is messed up (e.g., it suggests as an autocomplete the word being typed followed by the first word on the prior line), and outlining doesn't work correctly. Microsoft, please stop neglecting this app and fix it!
