After SkyDrive has been renamed into OneDrive, Microsoft has issued an update to OneNote to offer support for OneDrive interaction, as well. Now, the official Windows 8 One Note has received some more features in the latest update.

Without a doubt, OneNote is one of the best note taking apps that you can currently download from the Windows Store on your touch or desktop Windows 8.1 and also Windows RT devices. Of course, Evernote and others like Note Anytime are serious competitors, as well. According to the release notes, the official OneNote app for Windows 8.1 has received support for more languages, now being available in as much as 105 languages. Also, Microsoft has now added the ability to go to the location of the page from the Recent Notes view.

As expected, various performance and accessibility improvements have been put in place, along with the usual bug fixes. Besides this, inking and rule line improvements have also made their way into the refreshed version. Just as before, you can use the app to make lists, draw and write, take pictures, scan various files and import them, search inside files, share, snap and all the usual OneNote features which you’re probably accustomed with already.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
