Personally, it’s still frustrating to pull out a Lumia phablet and be forced to either type or dictate a quick note to myself because OneNote for Windows Phone hasn’t yet implemented handwriting support.

You still can’t import a PDF or PowerPoint presentation into the OneNote for Android app, but you can get around it with a quick snapshot or by exporting the files as JPEGs.īy bringing new capabilities to its standard apps on various platforms at different times (Microsoft recently updated its Mac and iOS versions of OneNote, as well), it feels a bit like watching a horse race run by Windows, the Mac, iPads and iPhones, Windows Phones, and Android devices. But just the ability to type in a note, pull in an image, and then scrawl an inked note next to it is refreshing. You can’t perform the wake-on-click-the-stylus trick-clicking the button on the Tab Pro’s stylus brings up the familiar Samsung radial menu and nothing OneNote specific. Unfortunately, to format text, you need to click the text, then the “Home” tab, then apply your edits.

The OneNote app for Android includes an Office-style ribbon.
