Windows 10 OneNote app sucks.

What a useless, piece of garbage OneNote is. Notebook merge feature: nonexistent. Notebook delete: pointless because it creates "ghost" deleted notebooks that clutter up your list of living notebooks.

First of all, I imported my notes from Evernote. I had to export from Evernote and then separately import into OneNote's (toddler-level, feature-sparse) Windows 10 app because the app's importer didn't work. Whatever.

But now I'm stuck with a separate Evernote import notebook because Microsoft has apparently decided that I shouldn't be able to merge notebooks. Seriously, ****, can't merge notebooks?

And not only do I have more notebooks than I want,but every time I go online to use OneNote in the browser have to get confused by seeing 2 or 3 other "ghost" notebooks that I created and then deleted during the period when I was first getting set up with and playing around with the features of OneNote. Apparently I have to live with the visual clutter of "deleted" notebooks every time I try to look at a list of the notebooks I actually use. Because... reasons?

I may go back to Evernote, whose search function on Android is totally broken. That's how bad OneNote is: I may go back to using software that I can't even use on my phone.

Microsoft, you really screwed up OneNote.  OneNote 2013 and 2016 were awesome.  Loaded with awesomely rich features that made it incredibly powerful tool to get date of all types into and then back out of it in various forms.  The latest piece of junk OneNote is so limited  that is mirrors the crappy free app that Microsoft offers for free as a phone app.  The OneNote app is okay in a pinch if you just need to print out of it or upload something into it and view it but sucks otherwise.

Problem - You are charging me $100.00 a year for office and are offering a program that has less features than the original OneNote that came out back in 2003 or there about.  That is like giving up your 2019 state of the art computer for an old relic from the mid 1990s running Windows 95.  Oh yes please, give me dial up internet service while your at it.  Does the acronym AOL ring any bells?  Put another way OneNote 2016 is a Lexus and OneNote in Windows 10 or included in the latest release of Office 365 is a rusted out Ford Pinto that burns as much oil as it leaks.

Thank God that you can download OneNote 2016 still and set it as a default app.  However, Microsoft openly admits that they are no longer updating OneNote 2016.

Isn't that just the 2016 version though? As in, no new development or improvements? Maybe that will be a good thing in the end, though...

You can now download a stand alone full version of OneNote.  Microsoft must have been listening.

This is way more than an inconvenience.  After being convinced this was a good/great place to cache all your work, projects and links to research, I risk losing all that with either a loss or complete redesign without features we've all learned to rely on.  This more than sucks with descriptors everyone can imagine and I'd like to tap to send these...folks...
