Write electronic notes, access them from multiple devices, share them with others

Functionality

Microsoft OneNote allows you to allows you to create, edit or share notes and to-do lists, which can be organised into optional 'notebooks'. Notes and notebooks can be easily shared with others and you can work on them together. You can search your notes by keyword or tag and add free-hand drawings, images and audio recordings, as well as web links and articles, attachments, emails, and screen clippings. Your notes will sync across multiple devices so you can access them from any device with the OneNote app installed (phone, tablet, laptop or PC).
