WSP - thanks for noting “the weak tagging system” of OneNote. It is absolutely mind boggling that an app with the pretensions of OneNote and created by the mighty Microsoft has coasted along for years with such a bad tagging system. Also mind boggling is how some of the seemingly independent YouTube channels refer so uncritically to OneNotes’ tagging capability. Surely, if they have any knowledge of note-taking software beyond OneNote, they should know that far better tagging systems are on offer. OneNote’s tagging system is the main reason I don’t use the app. - Daly
