The tell-tale sign is that the latest updated page is not at the time in the 'Recent Notes' section.įor example, today I made a change to one page using the Android app at 8am but when I open the same page in the Windows app at 11am, the change does not appear in the page although I made sure that 'Page Sync status' icon on the top bar already displays 'Page last synced just now'. However, I sometimes notice (about 10% of the time) that even though both devices are connected to my local LAN, there is a lag for one device to detect a change made in the other device, even if the update happened a few hours before. In the Windows app I turn on the 'Sync notebooks automatically' option, and in the Android app I turn on the 'Sync all page content' already.

Microsoft OneNote for Android on a Samsung Galaxy S9 Version 6 (updated Nov 8, 2022).OneNote for Windows 10 Version 16001.14326 on Windows 11 PC.That might be an example of an essential feature that should be in a mobile app that people use to take notes. In Notepad, you find something and press a key to jump to all instances of the found term. Notepad can find things on a page better than OneNote mobile can. There's a big discussion about this inability in a discussion. One big mobile feature I need is an easy way to FIND something on a page. Since I don't think that OneNote Windows 10 may never have the features that OneNote 2016 has, I don't think we'll see too many features from either platform make it to mobile.

OneNote can record audio, but not as well as a program built to do that. But sometimes I have to use another program if I want features that OneNote's not good at. For instance, on my tablet I often lay out multiple containers across the canvas. The Android OneNote can't do things that other programs such as a dedicated drawing program can and conversly, some other programs can't do some things OneNote on Android can. I assume the S7 has the same features as the Tab A. I use a Tab A which has more features than an Android phone has. But I don't see new things on Android Microsoft Word either. I've been a member of the Insider program for OneNote Android and I never see many new additions.
