Great timing too as my Office 2013 1-month trial just ran out and OneNote was the only app I really needed! LibreOffice is good enough nowadays for the rest. Plus it runs great with a Wacom digitiser.
I wish it felt like it was made for the Mac -- hopefully they'll work on it more. - Standard Mac keyboard shortcuts don't work (ie. ctrl-a & ctrl-e to move to beginning and end of lines) - Can't drag a picture from the Finder into the OneNote
I, for one, have been looking for an Evernote replacement for quite some time. Evernote still has so many basic text and formatting bugs that it feels v1.0 quality.
Pile of shit , can't believe Microsoft do this to us mac owners. It doesn't actually open windows one note created files so pointless.
OneNote 235MB, Simplenote 1.2MB I know there's no comparison in functionality, but if words are all you need then that's 233.8MB less bloat! (If benhuberman's listening - please give us font options!)
If we are going to be ignoring features, let's go with the two options built in to the OS: TextEdit and Notes. Take your pick which one better supports your workflow.
I know its just outside of the scope of notes, but if there was some level of collaboration, Apple could seriously cut down on the number of couples arguing in supermarkets (and Ikea)
I really wish they included inking support on the iPad app. I loved OneNote on my Tablet PC I had five years ago, and I'd love to use it today, but I handwrite all my notes on my iPad.
Me too. I think there could be a sizable market for a tablet or app that does notetaking and handwriting really well. The iPad seems limited by its touchscreen tech/software, which seems to be optimized for fingers and not fine-tipped digital pens. Which app and pen do you use for handwriting notes on your iPad? I've tried a few but I haven't liked any of the input interfaces. Writing in a small area of the screen is…
I just use cheap styluses/ my finger for writing, as I find that tips wear our way too quickly to spend a lot of money on one. (although I would be open to the idea of a high-end stylus with a replaceable tip)
Meh. Against my better judgment, I downloaded it and poked around. Predictably, it does not play well others. Most notable, there is no export functionality. There is a 'Share as PDF' which is (a) not the same, and (b) broken for me because 'my email program is not set up properly' which is false. Hard to trust. (Evernote has a fine export capability, fwiw). One Note will, however, appeal to people who prefer 'struct…

A big update for Office for Mac is also supposed to be incoming soon. (as in, a major update like Office for Mac 2014 kind of major) I agree that the current stuff is kind of janky and it would be nice if it got fixed, though. My wife writes novels with it and tends to have 10+ documents open, which makes it freak out sometimes and totally stop working. Hopefully the new version will work a lot better, not be too exp…
> My wife writes novels with it… Honest question: what does Word offer the novelist that a plain text (or rich text) editor would not? I've known others who have worked on a novel in Word, but I just can't imagine a workflow where binary Word documents would be better than plain text.
