OneNote for Mac - probably the best free alternative to Evernote

News that Microsoft has finally launched the OneNote for Mac, I accepted with great joy, because I know firsthand how Windows world people love this program. Even more interesting was to look at the adequacy of the Corporation and to check how the new program will be similar to what we have with Office for Mac - Ping, non-native, pixelated interface fonts and complete unwillingness to my Retina-display. Looking ahead, I say - Microsoft released the adequate product that you should try, and sure, especially if you do not like Evernote.

Start

A pleasant surprise for me was the fact that OneNote is put through the App Store. Through this, you get only application that order. Do not repeat the story of Microsoft Office, which fills up your Dock unnecessary waste, and the program is not only filled with the appropriate Microsoft trash. OneNote only and nothing else! And it adds to the karma of the corporation a lot of points.

Bit MS Points to lose if you do not have Live / Outlook-account. The registration form is straight out of the Stone Age PC - dozens of fields, validation codes and a lot of it is not clear why the information entered. Marketing department to offer MS in the future suffer, and not to ask me to enter a phone number, day birth, some characters and stuff, which is not related to a desire to use program-notebook.

Oh yes, how much information Microsoft has about the user :)

If you have an account on Outlook.com or SkyDrive, the authorization will be held immediately. So you are ready to write little notes.

Interface

Clean. Belt. With this full order! On the retina looks great, beautiful fonts. It does not cause rejection. And, very importantly, it is not wise, as it is today in Evernote. If you need to keep notes on conferences or business meetings, the OneNote much better Evernote. The main reason is that the recording OneNote nonlinear, and that is what he loves. This means that you do when taking notes some semblance mudborda or cork board. Text, pictures and special notes can be made zaotichno on a white sheet. None of this is strictly linear in Evernote, and it is very convenient.

In addition to text notes and pictures you can add to-do lists, and extended data - contacts, phone numbers, links and more.

But not all so "delicious" because Microsoft would not be Microsofst'om :) For example, to add a picture to desktop, I was not able to simply drag - to press the button in the "Ribbon" and then look eye image. This is not the way the Mac, and it's annoying. I want to drag. I'm so used. And with the addition of active notes, "Contact", for some reason I can not just choose from the address book exists and should enter it from the keyboard. Why is it not clear to me.

If a lot of notes, they can be stored in different notebooks. Their number is unlimited. Working simultaneously with neskolkoimi notes, you see them in color Tabah. Very comfortably. All notes are stored in the Microsoft cloud and accessible on mobile apps and the web version zapisnika OneNote.
