The maximum zoom percentage in OneNote is 200%, which is not very high.

Zooming in and out of your pages displays the percentage zoom on your iPad screen, which keeps your handwriting consistent when taking notes. You can view your pages at 100% zoom or fit them to the Page Width. OneNote is excellent for brainstorming and mind mapping, provided you will not export anything out of the app. The pages in OneNote will keep expanding downwards and sideways (to the right) as long as you keep writing in those directions. Pages in OneNote are infinite, therefore you can’t pick a page size. OneNote has plain, ruled and grid lines with three line-spacing and page colour options. You can choose your Paper Style under View. Creating notebooks in OneNote is fairly simple. Your notebook has Sections and Pages for organising your notes, which you can rename. The app tells you the location of your notebook, which depends on the Microsoft account you’re using. You can then rename it and choose a colour for it (from 16 possible options). To create a new notebook, tap the + Notebook icon on the left bottom corner of the app. This review focuses on the iPad version of OneNote.
