Formatted text+images+other) with a note app interface (master list view with, maybe, tags). Changing positionĪ few months ago, while thinking about this I realized what I could actually work with would be an app that let me edit word files (i.e. I have tried lots of fonts to fix this.Īnyway, I have issues with Onenote, apparently, but I still used it because I just needed something to store text mixed with images and other stuff (PPT or docs). It feels to me like Onenote has its own text rendering engine or something similar - text just looks different from any other app on iOS, which bothers me.Shared notes open in the web version of Onenote, which gets points for existing, but not for much else. This might be fine for sharing classroom material, not so much for meeting notes. Do you want to share something from Onenote? Well, it’s the whole notebook (sections and all) or nothing.Eventually you give up Onenote on iPhone, except when you have to use it reluctantly because the info you want is in there. You end up zooming and panning around, trying to make sense of big blocks of text.

Free form is a great concept, but does not translate well to small phone screens.Everything feels very heavy and immutable. There’s very little context to notes: no easy way to find creation/update dates for notes, or sort them by dates. For this reason every time I create a note I feel like I need to review and revise the whole notebook organization – meaning I immerse myself in lots of information that might not be relevant to what I’m trying to do at that point. Newest notes go down, which I find confusing. I’ve never liked Onenote’s note structure and organisation.Sometimes notebooks auto-close behind my back, and I have to hunt for them in Onedrive (which is confusing by itself). Because of the lag, notebook switching is by itself a whole operation with several steps that I need to think through. Because of this, there is no ‘master list’ of notes. Onenote’s Notebooks have to be opened and closed, like files.Slow sync made things even worse, especially given that… At some point I had to re-authenticate every time I opened the app. Forget starting a note on the iPhone and picking it up on the Mac. Sync is so slow that it discourages device-switching on the fly.Moving around on the canvas. Switching notes. Every interaction has a huge transaction cost. The free-form aspect promised by Onenote was so conceptually seducing that I agreed to put up with its worse aspects:

But I could also do it in Google sheets, insert a screenshot in a word file, and use the two hours I’ve just saved to do something else.
