The note taking app is all they have going on (yes, they sell accessories as well). So as long as you have a couple GBs of storage there (or a couple of hundred if you jumped on any promotions), you should be fine.Įvernote is the opposite (you only get 60 MB of storage for free every month). Even if it was a paid service, the revenue wouldn’t make a dent in the giant’s multi-billion dollar quarter results. See the lack of sorting by "update date", the lack of a list of all notes (regardless of their notebook or group container), the lack of sharing individual notes.OneNote is a very small part of MS’s business. They just copy the "leader" without understanding the decisions behind each feature. But the Microsoft team does not seem to understand the actual use of the product. Onenote looks like it has been developed to simply match Evernote and compete with it. If you do not mind paying the annual fee, go and stay with Evernote. Time needed to send a page URL to a note (waiting time while the program picks information from the web page and until the "send" button becomes active)Įvernote is very a mature product, a leader in its category.

View all notes of one Notebook (because you do not remember how you named the note) Some extra software is needed to achieve this, but only on Windows. You see on the top of the list your recent updates. Notes are listed in reverse chronological order. You must synchronise the installed Evernote before the migration This is probably a kind of connection bug of evernote.Ī migration tool exists that takes all the Evernote content and imports it to Onenote. As a result when you finish your updates you might see in the list of notes, several notes (like the past history) of the same note. If you are doing updates on a note, you might see that some of your updates go into a completely new note instead of updating the existing note. Each notebook of Onenote is stored as a file on your onedrive account. You cannot share pages with others, but only whole notebooks. This is a review by a real Evernote user who switched to Microsoft Onenote.Ĭan sync up to only two devices (since summer 2016)
