Probably worth mentioning that this app is currently only available in the US iTunes Store. Hopefully there will be a worldwide roll-out soon.

I just started trying to figure out how to use Onenote 2013 on my PC, and thought I'd give the iPhone app a try. I see there's a notebook already created, but no matter what page I go to (such as "Quick Notes" or "New Section 1") I can't seem to find anywhere to type a note. When I press the button to enter a new note, a screen appears with "Back" and "Page Options" buttons, and the current title of the page, consisting of just the date and time. Double-tapping on that doesn't bring up an edit box or anything.
Is there something else I need to do before I can add a note?

Hi, Kelly. If you have the latest OneNote iOS build from the app store, you should be able to edit notes in the app. Please let me know if you have any feedback.

Does anyone use this app on their iPhone? I’m using an iPhone 13 on ios 15.2, and the app is crashing every time I try to type anything. I’ve been trying to find a notes app that will allow me to use wiki links and hyperlinks to link to other notes and even specific sections in those notes. That sounds possible with One Note, but so far it’s completely unusable.

Hello,

Having recently upgraded my Apple Watch to a series 7 I see that One Note is available on the watch. However, when I open the app I am prompted to sign in to One Note on my iPhone. I am signed in, but cannot get the app on the watch to recognise this fact. Am I missing something?

Hi,
I've been using OneNote for several years now & have somehow managed to create duplicate notebooks.
If the person from the OneNote team, still has an account on here, would you be willing to reach out to me directly, using the information in my profile?
Thanks in advance.
