Frequently Asked Questions
Can I request features for OneNote directly through an App Store review?
While you can leave reviews and suggestions on the Apple App Store, the most effective way to ensure the Microsoft development team logs and tracks your feature request is by using the official in-app 'Help & Feedback' tool.
Will Microsoft reply to my feature request for OneNote?
Microsoft reviews all submitted feedback. If you check the box allowing them to contact you when submitting the form, they may reach out for further details or clarification, though a personalized response is not guaranteed for every single submission.
Why isn't the feature request link working in my OneNote iPad app?
If the direct link or feedback button is unresponsive, your app might be experiencing a temporary glitch or needs an update. Ensure your OneNote app is updated to the latest version via the App Store, or try submitting your feedback through the general Microsoft 365 app instead.
