Cannot collapse subpges

Dear Microsoft.
I have been using OneNote for a long time. Earlier I was using it on a Windows 2 in one device HP X360 where I was using the desktop version of one node and it was fantastic. But because it was a big and heavy device, I had to go for something lighter. And since surface devices are ridiculously expensive in my country, I had to go for iPad. Yes, surprisingly, Apple devices are cheaper than Microsoft devices here.
Coming to the main point, I am now using an iPad as my main touchscreen iPad note taking device and that is where I use OneNote since it already syncs up with my older existing nodes. It is fantastic so far and I really like it except for one thing which really annoys me. That is the inability to collapse subpages. On the desktop version of Windows OneNote, I can easily. Collapse up pages to make navigation easier and to have a glance look at all my notes and pages. Whereas on the iPad, even with the small screen it becomes a little more difficult to scroll through all those pages. If I could collapse the sub pages, which is how I organize my notes on the desktop. Doing so on the iPad would be so much better.
Bottom line, please allow us to collapse subpages on the iPad version of OneNote as well.

Great app, but with a few caveats.

OneNote is a brilliant note taking app. The organisational structure is brilliant. I like the fact that all my notes are synced to the cloud, because then I don’t have to worry about losing all my notes in case there is some issue with the local storage. There are plenty of features for typing out your notes, and also for handwriting your notes. And I think that the best advantage that OneNote has over its competitors is that it is free (up to 5 GB of online storage) — essentially your note taking features are the same regardless of whether you decide to pay for extra storage or not.

I do hope that there was an option to fix a page size for a notebook or a section — something which Microsoft hasn’t been very keen on. I know that unlimited canvas makes more sense, but I would like to have the option of fixing a page size nevertheless, especially if I plan in printing my notes in the future.

There is option to ‘Switch Colors’ when in Dark Mode so that your page appears white, but it is not very visually pleasing, and it would be great if you could work on it to make it look better.

An Outstanding Free Note-Taking app!!!

I really loved this app as it’s free as well as a good note taking app. I took notes on my windows PC also, but it was not good, it was time-consuming to make notes and questions. But when I started to take notes and frame questions on my iPad, it was really outstanding!!! I could take pictures of my meeting and paste it in this app and continue writing on the pics!!!! It was not even time-consuming. The main feature I love here is organising the notes which is really accessible and fun... It has all the organising methods where I could create sections for subjects and sub-sections for the subjects like notes on small topics etc., It has that much capability to do and make everything easy... I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a good and free note taking app... The main feature I love here is organising the notes which is really accessible...Try it, u could see a change in urself!!!! At least u could save paper on writing digital notes😄😜
