Microsoft OneNote App Gets Improved Search, iPad Multitasking, Notifications, More

Microsoft has updated its OneNote app for iOS with improved search, iPad multitasking features, notifications, and more.

Capture your thoughts, discoveries, and ideas with OneNote, your very own digital notebook. With OneNote you can seize that moment of inspiration, take your class notes, or track that list of errands that are too important to forget. Whether you're at home, in the office, or on the go, your notes are available to you on all your devices.

What's New In This Version:
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Two can be as bad as one. Fortunately, we have three new features this month.


- Don't call us, we'll call you: we've added notifications to let you know if something interesting happened while you were away
- We spiffied up Search over the holidays and added some new tricks! Now, you can: search all of your OneDrive notebooks, even if they're not on your device; zippier results – so zippy you can search for things you're already reading and *almost* find them quicker; and, as before, view see glimpses of notes you haven't written yet. Wait. Not that last one. But the rest!
- iPad Multitasking is better: Multitask like never before: Side-by-Side and Slideover views now support Searching, Sharing, and viewing the title of your open notebook.
- In you might have missed this news...Draw with confidence with the new "Convert to Shapes" mode: we'll automatically convert hand drawn shapes into crisp, perfectly regular polygons and circles on iPad. Try it out...tell your friends.

Fixed: Many customers let us know that the keyboard would block the "Insert Photos" menu from view. It no longer blocks the "Insert Photos" menu from view.
Fixed: James Martin let us know that if you used FiftyThree Pencil then switched to Apple Pencil in the same session OneNote got confused...thanks James.

You can download Microsoft OneNote from the App Store for free.
