OneNote, however, provides five widgets: a three-shortcut toolbar; a list of recently viewed notes; and three individual shortcuts to create new audio, text and picture notes. Enable Dark Mode. Apple started rolling out dark mode with the introduction of the macOS Sierra.

Microsoft today released a new update to OneNote for iPhone that makes it a universal app, now OneNote for iOS. That means that the existing OneNote for iPad app is being replaced by a single, universal app that runs on both iPhone and iPad.

The benefit, aside from having a single version, is that the iPad app is gaining some recent features introduced in the iPhone app including a OneNote widget in the today view of Notification Center. iPad users will also notice a new “recent notes” section for notes made on either device, and landscape mode on the iPad now presents a column of page previews.

Catch the full release notes below:

What’s New in Version 2.14

– Say good-bye to OneNote for iPad! Like IKEA™ hex keys, OneNote for iOS is now Universal. n.b. to save on localisation related expenses, all future release notes will be pictorial.

– Was finding the OneNote icon on your home screen just too much work? One of the six people who remember there’s a “Today” tab in the Notification Centre? Good news! Available today on iPad is our Today Widget. Create new notes, start a list, and access your most recent notes straight from the Notification Centre.

– Find your most recently edited notes with our recently added “Recent Notes” view in the recently combined iPhone and iPad apps. Recent.

– Ants objected to the removal of our tiny checkboxes. To appease them, we have added ant-sized Page Previews to iPad. Humans may also find them useful for differentiating between pages.

Squashed Bugs – Fixed: The lens cap was left on when using the Document/Whiteboard camera. We removed and then subsequently lost it, so it won’t be making a reappearance.

Microsoft OneNote for iPad users will want to grab the new, universal version, of course, to ensure future updates are delivered properly. OneNote for iOS is available for free on the App Store.

Part of the Office suite of productivity apps, Microsoft OneNote has received a small but useful upgrade! OneNote 2.8 for iPhone adds a widget to Notification Center which displays shortcuts for making new notes, and shows recently added notes.

Microsoft Office is the #1 productivity suite in the world, but it is getting swift competition from startups and competitor products like Evernote, Google Docs, Prezi, etc. Microsoft has appropriately upped its game, by launching their software on iOS and Android.

OneNote is their straight-up competitor to Evernote – your one stop shop for taking notes, managing them, and collaborating on them with friends, family, colleagues, and classmates.

Now, OneNote for iPhone is getting a lot of attention from Microsoft these days. They update it quite regularly – Microsoft has added iOS 8-specific features like Touch ID authentication, Share Sheet, and background syncing. They also added support for higher-resolution displays of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Office OneNote 2.8 gets a Today View widget for Notification Center. Said widget shows three buttons for quickly creating a new note, recording a photo, and making a list. Additionally, below said buttons, it shows your two most recently edited notes.

Once you update to OneNote 2.8, you can enable the widget by going to Notifcation Center, swiping right to Today view, scrolling down to tap on ‘Edit’, and adding the OneNote widget. You can see our dedicated post on how to add widget if you need a more detailed step-by-step tutorial.

I haven’t used OneNote myself. As a matter of fact, I haven’t used any of Microsoft’s Office productivity apps since I shifted to Google Drive / Docs / Slides. They’re free, work from everywhere, and revolutionize collaborative editing.

OneNote 2.8 is available as a free app / update. Get it from the link below! If you are an existing Evernote user, it is worth trying out its nearest competitor.
