The OneNote canvas based model doesn't really work for note taking for me.
Switching between mobile and desktop devices means the content doesn't fit on either because it the form factors are so different.
I think they special case the mobile product to act like a traditional text editor when there is a single text field. But it is a kludge on top of a broken model.
- macspoofing 8y agoThat's fair. I personally never found value in note taking on mobile. I present at conferences, and deal with partners and customers, and in those cases pen with a pocket-size notebook beats fiddling around with a phone. To compare, to take a note on a phone while talking to a partner, I have to 1) take my phone out, 2) unlock it, 3) launch the app and wait for it to load 4) wait until the software keyboard shows up, 5) start taking notes. At any point the phone could start acting up. Maybe it'll be extra slow this time. Maybe the app will crash. Maybe the fingerprint won't take on the first try. The opportunity for delays are always there. With a notebook, it's so much faster. You take it out, and you start writing. And at the end of the day, I manually add my notes to OneNote.
