Comments on Microsoft OneNote: Save Notes for Android

★★★★★ Christina S · Oct 12, 2026
A great tool for writing and notes. I love being able to sync between my phone, computer, and tablet to take my notes everywhere. I also live being able to pull notes off to the side rather than deleting them, easily mixed with diagrams and tables. The only feature I wish it had was a word counter. It's a little annoying to copy and paste everything into a separate document and do math every time I want to check my word count.
★★★★☆ 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
★☆☆☆☆ 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
★☆☆☆☆ helado · Oct 13, 2026
Keeps saying "wait a moment while we sync notes" and never syncs. I've reinstalled, cleared cache, and now I can't even open my old notes. So it's basically bricked a lot of the information I've uploaded.
