Alternative one note apps for note taking

[basurtoisaac]

Hello,

Does anybody have any alternative to one note? I need an app that won't crash often.

Thanks!

One Note is THE note taking app. There is nothing better or more stable. Everything else is a step down.

But, since you are asking, I would say Evernote is pretty good too.

Evernote is supposed to be pretty good, but I've never used it.

But I have never had a crash when using OneNote. Is there one particular thing that makes OneNote crash? Are you using desktop or the Metro version of OneNote?

I take notes during class with the surface pen. After awhile, one note freezes out of nowhere and kicks me out of the app. I've tried uninstalling it but nothing works

you can use awesome note
it has a lot of features indeed

me too. this is ridiculously annoying and embarassing for a first-party app on a premium device.

Bamboo Paper is a pretty good note taking app. It doesn't have a ton of features, but it works well enough. It is nicely designed.

I have been using one note metro app on my dell venue 11 pro and it has been stable. I have used it for the past month in class.

I also have the desktop app but I like the metro app better because I can use the eraser function with the second button in the metro app.

I am contemplating "upgrading" to a surface pro 3 primarily because I thought the pen and one note works better. I use it extensively. I wonder what is happening in your case. Any other one mote and surface users having the same issues? What surface are you using OP?

metamoji note lite. Its free, and the lines are smooth. You don't have to save, it auto saves, so if computer freezes, or exit accidentally, it'll stay.

I uses evernote on all of mine devices and it's a great program

I use the one note metro app. What I have noticed is that onenote tends to crash when using the surface pen.

Wow, I use mine with the Dell active stylus 100% of the time...

Hopefully it's just a driver issue...

Are you logged in to your Microsoft account in one note? Does this happen with the desktop app as well?

I've used OneNote in every conceivable way, typing, drawing, inking for hours and have yet to have it freeze or crash on me.

Perhaps you are having memory issues. Have you considered something which keeps your memory cleaned in the background such a CleanMem? Also, make sure you always rotate your taskbar and Windows button out of the way so your wrist is not brushing things. I'm right handed so I put my Windows button at the top and taskbar to the left.

Once you've installed it, open the Settings and enable and you're good to go. I've used this for years without issue. The app gets 4.5 stars on Softpedia.

I have the 8 GB version of the SP3. There's no way it's a memory issue. I've never seen usage above 50%. I think it's most likely the pen driver causing the problem since writing with my dell venue 8 pro doesn't crash onenote
