I haven't checked, but maybe, like on a PC, a Surface could run an Android emulator too. That's when I began researching it - especially after testing Journal on my PC which has no touch screen. I think Best Buy knocked off 4 or 5 hundred dollars during that short sale. With a Surface we'd have a laptop when we wanted it and a large touch-screen tablet when we wanted it all running Windows. Today the phone is dead and other mobile devices such as Android can run OneNote apps that don't run on Windows.īut apparently those OneNote apps (Android, iOS) are different from running the actual OneNote on a Windows device that's running OneNote. Perhaps the original goal was for Microsoft touch-screen devices, like Microsoft phones, to take over the market. There was even a magic wheel UI that opened up that let you choose options. If I'm not mistaken, early articles and demos of touch-enabled OneNote were on Microsoft devices. It can't replace OneNote but here's what Journal can do for users who ink a lot. That might be an example of an essential feature that should be in a mobile app that people use to take notes.Īfter seeing Microsoft's experimental Journal app I considered getting a Surface back when they were on sale at Best Buy. In Notepad, you find something and press a key to jump to all instances of the found term. Notepad can find things on a page better than OneNote mobile can. There's a big discussion about this inability in a discussion. One big mobile feature I need is an easy way to FIND something on a page. Since I don't think that OneNote Windows 10 may never have the features that OneNote 2016 has, I don't think we'll see too many features from either platform make it to mobile. OneNote can record audio, but not as well as a program built to do that. But sometimes I have to use another program if I want features that OneNote's not good at. For instance, on my tablet I often lay out multiple containers across the canvas. The Android OneNote can't do things that other programs such as a dedicated drawing program can and conversly, some other programs can't do some things OneNote on Android can. I assume the S7 has the same features as the Tab A. I use a Tab A which has more features than an Android phone has. Today I looked at Office 365 change logs and they show that fixes are always going on for lots of Microsoft apps. Even though these OneNote updates occur all the time on my tablet, I don't recall the last Android feature update. But I don't see new things on Android Microsoft Word either. In the Play store Update button next to OneNote it says they continue to add new features. I've been a member of the Insider program for OneNote Android and I never see many new additions.
