A bit of background first.
I was looking for a way to ditch my notebooks due to an injury causing quite a lot of pain whenver I write more than a paragraph.
My Note 3 offered a solution - use the s-pen for everything math and the keyboard for all other text.
Next, I needed a way to organize my notes (which will grow into multiple-page topics) and S Note seemed to keep everything as simple notes. I searched for alternatives - most I did not like (and I have tried nearly all of them) but OneNote looked to be the best, with its onedrive backup and organization into notebooks and topics and what not.
So I want to go paperless - but I'm certainly not using the Note 3 for that. The most obvious option was a Surface 3\4 Pro which gives me a full W10 experience and very good battery life. 2 problems - 1) ABSURD PRICES and 2) MS seems to ignore most of the world so they are not officially imported here - and that means no support or proper warranty from private importers (and I've read too many posts about problems with the surfaces to consider buying them without proper support).
As any Jedi knows, just sit still, concentrate and a solution will present itself. It did, in the form of the Note Pro 12.2 which I bought for less than half of what the slowest M3 Surface 4 Pro costs.
The Issue Itself: After updating and installing everything, I found out a major problem with Android's version of OneNote - it does not support RTL languages and types them backwards! Other versions do, and MANY people, be they Israeli, Iranian, whatever, have complained to MS about it for over a year. Yet MS remains silent.
Too bad, because the infinite-page idea is great. Since then I saw I can simply create folders in S Note and organize notes any way I would like (for some reason, I was sure I couldn't) so I don't NEED OneNote, but I would still like to use it one day.
Venting done, thanks for listening.
