In keeping with the other
new productivity apps it rolled out for iPad earlier today, Microsoft
has updated OneNote with a new design that's a better fit for iOS 7. It
feels right at home next to the brand new Word, PowerPoint, and Excel apps,
which makes sense since OneNote is also part of the Office suite. Sadly
the smaller iPhone version hasn't yet received the same update; its
appearance is still unchanged (and thus a bit outdated). OneNote for iOS
was widely panned when Microsoft first introduced the app in 2011, but the company has gradually worked to improve it since then.
Microsoft is clearly making a
play to establish Office as a productivity force on the iPad, and
OneNote has already proven wildly popular with users. The company
recently released OneNote for OS X — its first new Mac app in quite some
time — and the software immediately topped Apple's Mac App Store charts.
We'd recommend downloading the OS X version for syncing between your
Mac and iPad if you don't have a Windows machine nearby. Other than its
new looks, the changes in OneNote for iPad are relatively small:
Microsoft notes that "photos of whiteboards and documents are now
auto-cropped and enhanced," and the release also contains the usual bug
fixes.
