User-friendly Note Taking (need to add local save files)

Very useful app for taking and organising notes. I use it mainly for taking notes while reading/researching, but I can see how this would also be very useful for note taking during lectures or talks. Also very handy for writing down ideas and thoughts, and the layout makes it very easy to seperate the different kinds of notes and topics into convienent 'notebooks' and 'pages'. Highly recommended!

I can't give it a full 5 stars only because there is no way to save the notes locally. The cloud saving is very handy for taking notes across multiple devices, but beign able to have the notes saved as backup files on the computer would really make this app even better.

Very good but not as good as on Windows

I've been working on Windows for years and used the 'full' OneNote client there. Moved to Mac and note that while most of the features are present on Mac, there are many that are missing. Would be good to get parity on features seeing as Mac users pay as much for Office 365 as Windows users do

brilliant but fatally flawed

I've used every note taking organizing app out there and Onenote is the best, the best features, the best value, the best structure etc...
Except no safari web clipper extension.
Which unfortunately for my workflow is a tota deal breaker. I've tried all sorts of compromises and work arounds but using another browser or another app as a pass-thru just introdues too many additional steps, anomolies, and inconsistancies to make it untenible.
A real shame. Especially considering how much work I know have to repeat moving back from OneNote to Evernote. In some cases its just not possible and involves creating new documents.
