The checklist helps me stay ahead of my daily activities and also works as a reminder for items I'd forgotten about. > > **Cons**: If there is too much media and text in the notes, the software will slow down, especially when making a sketch and attaching it with audio and a photo to my sketch card. Some websites do not recognize this application, and I cannot activate the website clippers to save the page. ----- ### "Great Cross-Platform Note-taking Software" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *20 September 2024* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is both simple and beautiful in design. Also, it is user-friendly. > > **Cons**: It doesn't offer a lot more than, say, Apple Notes. The functionality is similar. It mostly depends on if someone uses Apple across the board and/or wants a change. > > Zoho Notebook is a really nice alternative to some of the other note-taking software available. I like it better than Microsoft OneNote. I think I still like Apple Notes better since I use a MacBook Pro and iPhone. ----- ### "Great for one, not more" — 3.0/5 > **Freyxa** | *2 June 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s a clean, intuitive interface with notebook style layout, used for new hires to use. It supported also multimedia notes and I love that is really budget friendly for large teams, and he also syncs across devices. > > **Cons**: It lacks integration with some popular LMS or HR platforms, it’s not really ideal for structured document or collaboration > > They offer is a solid option for personal notetaking and lightwood documentation during on boarding, especially appealing and flexible with Encanto management with features required by most training teams ----- ### "Great for organizing your life\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *29 July 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho allows you to use different notebooks in which you add your notes, audio notes, to-do lists, etc. This helps me to organize my life as I can use one notebook for personal stuff and another one for work content. The fact that I can create an audio note in moments when I cannot type is excellent, and it gets stored just as other text notes. This app also offers you the option to merge different lists (one list will be deleted and its elements will be added to the other list). On the other hand, one of my favorite features of Zoho Notebooks is that I can create shortcuts for each of my notes and add them to my main screen and tap them for quick access. > > **Cons**: When creating to-do lists, the app does not give you the option to add sub-categories to each task. This is a great improvement opportunity for grocery lists, work, and personal projects, etc. > > Zoho Notebook is simple to use and you do not need any tutorial due to its user-friendly design. It offers features such as any other organization app, but it also comes with important attributes. This app may be perfectly used for work, education, and personal purposes; also, it comes with the ability to share your notes with family and friends, so they can collaborate with you. Zoho Notebook is nice and quick to use to organize your daily tasks and add different types of notes: draws, texts, files, audio notes, etc. ----- ### "It works, it's free." — 5.0/5 > **David** | *1 January 2023* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho Notebook is a free note taking app. Get it on almost any device. Has all of the core note features. > > **Cons**: Zoho Notebook doesn't include all of the fancier features that may be seen in other products. It wouldn't be so bad to see more task management features. > > Well like I said in the title, Zoho Notebook is free. Doesn't cost me a penny. It works, rather well. So what more could you ask for? Sure, it could be tweaked, but overall for a free app I think they've hit a home run. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/395162/zoho-notebook?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/395162/zoho-notebook) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
