Comments on Microsoft OneNote: Save Notes for Android

★★★★★ Akhil Tiwari · Oct 2, 2026
Competent port of the complete onenote desktop experience, no predatory UI meant to funnel to Office 365, or not as far as I've seen. It seems to just be a great sync-first multimedia to the max brain dump tool, and I think it does that job second to none.
★★★★☆ Yaromir Gusev · Sep 24, 2026
I will preface this by saying that I'm using the app on mobile so my issues might be restricted just to the mobile version. Nevertheless a great app for taking notes. Only complaints are with attaching printouts of PDFs and trying to use the shape feature which have both given me trouble so far. Otherwise, a phenomenal app and a game changer for my studies.
★★★★☆ Nitesh Singh · Oct 11, 2026
Nitesh, here's a short version: --- **Title: Good app, but mobile needs more features** OneNote is great for organizing notes, but the mobile app lacks many features available on the laptop version. Please add: Offline mode with an option to turn off auto-sync. - Proper pasting that keeps the original formatting. - Option to insert shapes - AI-based formatting for notes With these updates, it would easily be a 5-star app. Thank you!
★★☆☆☆ Jann Aristeo Amorado · Oct 7, 2026
It works as a note-taking app. But my OneNote app in Android does not update its recent pages tab. My "most recent pages" is 2024??
★☆☆☆☆ Dharna sharma · Oct 12, 2026
Please add more send option in Microsoft one note app to send checklist notes or checklist page on WhatsApp as a note just like one plus notes app provides so that we can send easily notes to WhatsApp. Your version of Microsoft note provide to send page or notes either send in PDF format or link format ... this is lagging behind please stay updated and learn from oneplus notes app provided by oneplus specially for mobile or android
★☆☆☆☆ Konsam Stelin · Sep 20, 2026
I should have known that its microsoft apps every single app I used including the keyboard does not sync properly with my laptop now I have to manually to sign in and out every time I want to sync something
★☆☆☆☆ Everett McCorvey · Oct 12, 2026
I used to touch once and notes would come up. Now I have to touch 3 times to get to a page. 1st touch to create a heading, 2nd touch to create a sub heading, 3rd touch to begin writing. I don't have time for this. It should be 1 touch like it used to be
