OneNote by Microsoft

OneNote is a note taking software from Microsoft. It was suppose to be the top of its field with its free to use and rich features. But too bad the software suffer from the Microsoft's curse. If it has potential of being good, they will destroy it from their own side.

The major issue I have with the software is it's file size. If you insert any images to the page, your file size will still consider holding the image size even you already delete the image. This will rapidly increase your note file size to a very huge size and subsequently cause the synchronization of the file hit error.

This bug has been reported since 2014 but until now Microsoft won't admit it or fix it.

Another issue is the synchronization of the file, if you using it in multiple devices, you will hit the synch error especially if you delete a pages or section from other devices. Your only solution is to close the notebook and reopen again to fix it.

The so-called multi devices cross platform is terrible also. Each feature in different has different feature being removed and there is no specific date when these features will be added.

This software really have potentials but too bad it was Microsoft that kill it.
