Good app, just some suggestions
Sep 2, 2020 GOOD FEATURES 1. The labels feature and options to change the background color of each note is helpful for organization 2. It’s cool you can add drawings, voice recordings, images, reminders, and checklists. And the feature that grabs text from an image was very useful. 3. Of course the ability to share notes across devices and between people since notes are saved with your Google account and not just downloaded to your device. 4. Small thing but being able to copy stuff to Google Docs was nice 5. Aesthetically pleasing. Not that important but if an app looks old I’ll be less likely to choose it IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS 1. Add bold, italic, underline, and text size 2. Make the option for images to be embedded at any place in the note instead of just attached at the top 3. Allow checkboxes in between paragraphs instead of requiring the whole note to be a checklist 4. Add a view option where only the note titles are shown (instead of the larger icons; like the list view in Google Drive) 5. Allow multiple reminders in one note (not as important as the other ones) 6. Automatically change links into their image previews, while still leaving the option to remove it. Usually I prefer the link icon over the long chunks of text.more -
Very helpful, but could use some improvements
Sep 25, 2020 I have used Google Keep now for a couple years to keep track of necessary business- related tasks as I am self-employed. I use Keep on both my phone and computer, and they sync very well — it’s so easy to be able to go back and forth. It’s also a helpful place to be able to quickly jot down any thoughts or ideas one has throughout the day. I pin my work related notes so I can see them right away, and if I scroll down I can see the “less important” notes underneath. My partner and I sync our notes for grocery lists which is another huge lifesaver. As for improvements, I’d really appreciate more color options for the Notes. And of course, the one thing that’s now missing thanks to the iOS 14 update is the ability to make widgets! I’ve searched the App Store looking for a simple task/to-do list app and find none that I like as much as Keep, but because there are no widgets (yet?) I feel less inclined to use Keep as I know being able to have a to-do list widget would be so helpful for me and I don’t want to miss out on that. And it would be too annoying to use two different apps — I prefer when things are much more streamlined. Please update Keep ASAP!more -
Best app for organization!
Jul 16, 2018 This app is a great app for organization. Hi, I’m a teenager of the age of 14. In high school you really need to get organized, write down what homework needs to get done reminders on test dates. As of right now though it is summer and I don’t want to be just laying around in bed all summer watching videos or being lazy. I at least want to be a bit productive, so I was on the search for a to do list app that will help me feel accomplished in the goals I set. So I went searching and most organizer apps and to do list apps have a fee, which if your under 16 years old you can’t really do that. I downloaded a bunch of apps looking for the right one. For an estimate on how many I downloaded and deleted was about 8, which is a lot. On this app I can put my to do list, write reminders, and put pictures to remind myself to love myself and remind me that people care about me to. Those inspirational pictures and encouraging pictures I’d say help me from going down into the hole of depression. (I might be overreacting to that but it’s true) so I wanted to thank google for making an app like this! ❤️more -
Mar 2, 2021 It's a good app. But one thing I beg you to do: one-off reminders can be "checked" from the notification panel. Repeated reminders can't - you have to go into the app and check it as done! Why!!??? Please simplify this so that any reminder can be checked as done from within the notification panel! Saves A TON of effort :)more -
Incredible productivity tool!
Dec 28, 2017 This app has quickly become one of my go to apps throughout each and every day. It’s cross-platform approach makes jotting a note on my phone, revising it on my Chromebook, then converting it to a Google Doc on my desktop a snap. It is lightweight in terms of storage space and processor demands, yet it is robust in its abilities. Saving audio, photos, etc into notes is simple. Setting reminders, even recurring reminders, makes this app outrageously useful for jotting quick reminders when adding something to a calendar is just too time consuming. And again, the cross-platform approach means that the reminder pops up on your iPhone, your Chromebook, and your Windows machine (or Mac) unlike Apple’s native reminder / to do apps. Of course, you have to be using Chrome on your computers as the internet browser. But why wouldn’t you? :-) In all, it’s a very useful app for organizing and staying on top of personal and professional business!more

Used to love this app
May 2, 2018 I used to love this app. My wife and I kept a shared grocery list as well as others. The grocery list, by far, gets the most use. For the last year and a half, it has become pretty buggy for me. Lists would disappear, updates made by one collaborator would not show up for the others on the list. Now, lately, I can’t seem to add an item to my grocery list without the app crashing. I’ve closed the app on my iPhone, restarted it, shut the app down, hard booted my phone, created a copy of a list and deleted the original to see if one was corrupted, you name it, I’ve tried it. Now, not only does the app crash most of the time, when I do successfully add a line item, instead of keeping it where I added it, Keep tosses the line item down to the bottom of the list. I’m not able to move the item in the list order now as well. I’ve taken great pains to order the grocery list to coincide with the layout of my local grocery store. It’s WAY more efficient that way. Now it’s becoming an aggravation. I’ve got over 300 items in my list. Starting over would be a headache. I’m not really interested in using one of the other shopping apps that force a subscription or demand an account be set up for all members to share. I really liked the way Google Keep used to work. Google! Please fix this app!! For what it’s worth, I’m using an iPhone 6+ with iOS 11.3.whatever the latest is.more -
Feb 24, 2021 I would love to rate it 4-5, but there's some kind of a problem with this app. Sometimes, it crashes then some of my saved notes suddenly disappears and that happened to me, 3, THREE TIMES already and it really made me wanna rate this app, 3 stars. If you can only fix that problem, I would rate this app, 5 stars. Edit: Actually I'm gonna rate this 2, I'm so mad right now. This happened to me again and I. AM. SO. FURIOUS. If you don't fix it and didn't tell me, I will never use this again.more -
Feb 28, 2021 A recent change fades out the content at top and bottom of mobile screen (Android 11), rendering it unusable for taking notes that get to the bottom of the screen (just above the keyboard). The lowest line is faded out and very hard to read - as you type it. You have to manually keep scrolling up if you keep typing. I have to switch to another note taking app now. :(more -
Feb 28, 2021 The app works fine for basic note keeping, my 1 star rating is because they don't have standard features like the ability to change font sizes, spacings, text color, and set words as underline or bold. Honestly all basic features that every other note app offers is missing from this. So if you wanna throw together a quick grocery list that's great, but for a list where things that are red or bold have a higher priority, this fails. 1 star is ridiculous, but so is not having these basic features.more -
Feb 22, 2021 Developer, Love this tool. However, can you add a "Spell Check" feature? I use this tool for drafting messages, letter writing etc. But, being able to check my spelling before finally copying and pasting the text for sending/submission would be a most useful feature in the Keep App. Your kind attention to the requested enhancement would be very much appreciated. Thank you. PS: Will happily revise my App Rating to five(5) Stars, following the requested improvement.more

Feb 27, 2021 Great app however I have one request... For reminders, if it's a crucial reminder I can have it repeat every day at the same time, but there's no option to have it repeat the same day. If there was an option to set it to repeat every x number of minutes or every x number of hours that would be perfect and very helpful in case you miss the first notification.more -
Scrolling and Return Key Bugs
Dec 14, 2019 I absolutely LOVE Google Keep and use it excessively. That said, I’ve been meaning to write a review about the two bugs that constantly annoy me: sometimes the keyboard pops up when scrolling through a note when I did not intend to edit it, just to read it, thus my annoyance when it pops up. I think it does so when I scroll only a small amount and it registers as a tap gesture instead of just a scroll gesture. Two: if I press the return key—creating a new line of text—when there are also other lines of text below where I am currently typing (whether I thereafter type or paste something in or just leave the line blank) after a few seconds the line below that one pops up, merging onto the end of the above line I just entered, and I have to replace my cursor and separate the lines again, putting the lower one back down where it belongs.more -
Mar 3, 2021 I actually like the App, it let's me take notes to recall later on a spread of other devices that I own. sure you may want different fonts and sizes, but for me I am just fine for what it does. I can share notes with my family and we are all on the same page. it isnt too much that you will get lost or to less like some apps are just plain and boring you can transfer the notes to google docs and it has pages to color code to categorize as well as make your own labels. oh and the reminders!more

Updated - Late September update seems to have fixed the issues caused by the August changes.
Oct 26, 2017 [updated] They finally seem to have fixed Keep, thank goodness. For about 6 weeks it was unusable. Now it seems to work fine, no longer deleting items and failing to sync. Glad Google fixed what they had broken, but better communication from the company to its users should have happened. 👎 on treating your users this way. I used it daily. Still use it via the web. But the August iPhone update made it unusable. Can't connect. Screws up your entries. It's a disaster. And Google's been silent through it all. No acknowledgement anywhere -- support pages or forums -- of the problems. The app support pages are worthless. Hey Google, end the silence and let us know that you've heard us! And fix this used-to-be great app and the sync issues, please.more -
Feb 28, 2021 Loveeee this but please make an option - to BOLD, slant and underline words (the one I want the most) - Change font and colour - Sort notes alphabetically (or in a preferred way) - Categorise notes - Word count/ spelling check (if possible) Also when you draw something make it engraved into the note. So it isn't a separate format on top of the text added kinda like a picture. Instead as you scroll down through the typing/words,the writing comes up engraved with no square around like a bordermore -
So close to 5 stars!
Oct 29, 2019 I stopped using Apple Notes after I started using Keep because Keep is a beautiful note taking app. I love how colorful, simple, and clean the interface of Keep is. The only thing that is missing is the ability to lock notes so others who might access my phone don’t get into it. I write personal things and I store passwords in Keep but there is no privacy mode where I can’t password protect or pin/fingerprint protect these personal notes, while Apple Notes does have this feature. I think more and more people would use Keep instead of other note taking apps like Apple Notes if this feature was present. Please hear me out! Will update my rating to 5 if this useful feature is added. Thank you!more

need more to be better than iphone note
Dec 2, 2017 If you want to check the difference between iphone note and google keep, you will find that iphone note is great, because you can write arabic language from right to left without any issue and great emoji and good quality of emoji that is written in iOS note that defeat google keep, but wait google is good too for more space 15 GB good too. Now the solution: 1- fix the alignment ( arabic and english) 2- create good emoji pictures different than iphone to be for google. 3- fix links issues and google map links too. 4- increase the security of google keep. 5- lets work with iOS company to merge between iphone notes and google keep easily. ( this need high step cooperation) 6- give a chance to share from iphone studio to google keep easily. 7- easy drawing note with iOS Cooperation between note and google keep. 8- more folders and subfolders and easy way to search for sub folders and easy lock for each secure note 9- each google keep note have a date and synchronized with calendar and easy create a link between calendar day and google keep note. 10- anything new will be great idea to help more in business or normal life Like for example record a voice note or transfer voice note from iOS note to google keep note with option of recording voice. My wishes for google 🌹more -
Bold, Italic & underline formatting are missing but it’s a great alternative to Onenote
Dec 22, 2017 It feels incomprehensible that Google wouldn’t allow users of this great app to format text with bold, italic or underline. This basic feature, part of every word processing program since the late 80s is missing from this app! It’s stupefying. You can do this in every other Google app but not this one. This missing feature is single-handedly keeping this app from really competing with Microsoft OneNote. Google has an opportunity since OneNote for iOS has been badly broken for over a year. It won’t sync notes across platforms anymore! Authentication is completely bugged and your notes won’t sync unless you sign in every day which leads to all kinds of conflicts. The app is unusable these days. Google keep could pick up that market. That’s how I know about it. I had to abandon Microsoft’s platform after they broke it.more -
Good
Apr 28, 2019 I prefer using everything google from mail to photos because everything syncs up no matter what device you’re on and when I found out there was a notes app I immediately downloaded it,, I really like the concept and how you can have the checkboxes and colors however the labels and archiving don’t sync up very well. I like to have some notes for cooking or workouts and not have them clog up my main screen so I archive them and put them in their labels, but when I click the label and click the notes it brings me to the archive section, but the device still thinks It is in the individual label and I have to click out and click back it to get just the notes in the label to pop back and it’s quite annoying. I would prefer it if the labels acted like folders in drive rather than just labels or have the options for both.more -
Mar 3, 2021 Not bad, trying to force myself to use it, but definitely things like allowing text to be formatted, allowing mixture of text and check boxes, folder structure (or at least labeling and nesting like in Gmail) must be out there for rating to go above 3 stars. As someone who was switching in the past between iOS and Android platforms, I would really like to see Keep trying to start to compete with Notes iOS app.more

Used to be a five star app...
Aug 10, 2018 Google Keep used to be my favorite app for making lists. I loved that if I switched devices, it would update across them seamlessly. However, the last two updates broke the app. It started freezing while checking things off the list with the update prior to the most recent one. Now, with the newest update, the app will not refresh and update across my devices, no matter how much I try to get it to work. It started with freezing and crashing upon opening, and now it tells me I need to “refresh”, but when I do it sits on a white screen saying it’s “Refreshing...” and then comes back to say the “refresh failed” and to try again later. It’s become more of a pain to use than it’s worth, so I just deleted it and will use the native list app on my iPhone for now. Hopefully when I check back in a couple months these problems are fixed, and I can start using this app again.more -
Lag, non-responsive, failures to sync
Oct 1, 2017 I am hugely reliant on this app. Unfortunately, since iOS 11, and especially with this most recent app update, the app has become very unstable. Syncing across my devices is sketchy at best, and information disappears. I’ve had to recreate whole sections of notes which sync my updates; rather, the app took the updated note and synced it backwards to the previous version on another device. Response to touch / type /cursor movement is slow at best, but usually impossible. You can’t move the cursor anywhere. To move in a note, you actually have to exit the note, re-enter it, carefully place the cursor at what you need to edit (nowhere else!), then exit again, and re-enter it at the next place to edit. Any attempt to move the cursor or tap elsewhere in the note has absolutely no response. I hope this is rapidly addressed, as otherwise Keep is a lifeline app for me.more

Even buggier-unusable
Mar 29, 2019 I love Keep, but this app is very buggy. I open a note that says Grocery, but a list of errands opens instead. Sometimes as many as 3 or 4 copies of the same note are generated. Other times the notes shuffle unexpectedly. Would be great if it functioned like the Web version. Update: Downgraded to one star. I am the only person using the app it is not shared. Yet duplicate notes are created, they shuffle back and forth, the wrong notes open when i tap on it. I love this app and it is so usable and functional, but these problems are driving me away. As much as i want to use it, I’ve even down presentations to others about it, the problems have to be fixed. 3/29: downgraded to 1 star. Duplicated notes and duplicated entries on notes. Web version is fine, but the app is unusable with duplicated entries on checklists, wrong note opening when you tap on (tap on Shopping, laundry list note opens).more -
Feb 28, 2021 I have never rated any app 1 star before and I never thought this app would be the first.. I mean I loved this app until recently it keeps crashing.. I've tried everything, I've cleared the data, force stoped it, and even uninstall and reinstall.. but it never seems to work.. like I said I really love this app but I don't know why it suddenly became misbehaving like this.. please GOOGLE I'm begging, fix this please 🥺more
What’s Groovy
Hi, I have been using this app for some time now. It keeps getting better with their updates. Things that I like are 1. Easy UI. 2. Sync across devices. One or two things I wish were there in the app- 1. To be able to pinch zoom the text content 2. More freedom to change the font style, alter font size, ability to have text in italics, underline, bold etc and to change the colour so that I will be able to read better when I change the background colour of the notes.

What’s Subpar
Poor Word Limit (Didn't Expect From Google) Samsung phone's internal system Notes app is the best. Features (no word Limit in single page, Send as pdf , image etc) I felt it the best. Here you cannot even do away with page anything properly. Google see that app and then improve your one accordingly. Now Regret using phone of other company compelling me to use Google Notes. Upgrade these things. Thanks. 😊

Good app, just some suggestions
GOOD FEATURES 1. The labels feature and options to change the background color of each note is helpful for organization 2. It’s cool you can add drawings, voice recordings, images, reminders, and checklists. And the feature that grabs text from an image was very useful. 3. Of course the ability to share notes across devices and between people since notes are saved with your Google account and not just downloaded to your device. 4. Small thing but being able to copy stuff to Google Docs was nice 5. Aesthetically pleasing. Not that important but if an app looks old I’ll be less likely to choose it IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS 1. Add bold, italic, underline, and text size 2. Make the option for images to be embedded at any place in the note instead of just attached at the top 3. Allow checkboxes in between paragraphs instead of requiring the whole note to be a checklist 4. Add a view option where only the note titles are shown (instead of the larger icons; like the list view in Google Drive) 5. Allow multiple reminders in one note (not as important as the other ones) 6. Automatically change links into their image previews, while still leaving the option to remove it. Usually I prefer the link icon over the long chunks of text. -
Very helpful, but could use some improvements
I have used Google Keep now for a couple years to keep track of necessary business- related tasks as I am self-employed. I use Keep on both my phone and computer, and they sync very well — it’s so easy to be able to go back and forth. It’s also a helpful place to be able to quickly jot down any thoughts or ideas one has throughout the day. I pin my work related notes so I can see them right away, and if I scroll down I can see the “less important” notes underneath. My partner and I sync our notes for grocery lists which is another huge lifesaver. As for improvements, I’d really appreciate more color options for the Notes. And of course, the one thing that’s now missing thanks to the iOS 14 update is the ability to make widgets! I’ve searched the App Store looking for a simple task/to-do list app and find none that I like as much as Keep, but because there are no widgets (yet?) I feel less inclined to use Keep as I know being able to have a to-do list widget would be so helpful for me and I don’t want to miss out on that. And it would be too annoying to use two different apps — I prefer when things are much more streamlined. Please update Keep ASAP! -
Best app for organization!
This app is a great app for organization. Hi, I’m a teenager of the age of 14. In high school you really need to get organized, write down what homework needs to get done reminders on test dates. As of right now though it is summer and I don’t want to be just laying around in bed all summer watching videos or being lazy. I at least want to be a bit productive, so I was on the search for a to do list app that will help me feel accomplished in the goals I set. So I went searching and most organizer apps and to do list apps have a fee, which if your under 16 years old you can’t really do that. I downloaded a bunch of apps looking for the right one. For an estimate on how many I downloaded and deleted was about 8, which is a lot. On this app I can put my to do list, write reminders, and put pictures to remind myself to love myself and remind me that people care about me to. Those inspirational pictures and encouraging pictures I’d say help me from going down into the hole of depression. (I might be overreacting to that but it’s true) so I wanted to thank google for making an app like this! ❤️ -
It's a good app. But one thing I beg you to do: one-off reminders can be "checked" from the notification panel. Repeated reminders can't - you have to go into the app and check it as done! Why!!??? Please simplify this so that any reminder can be checked as done from within the notification panel! Saves A TON of effort :)

Incredible productivity tool!
This app has quickly become one of my go to apps throughout each and every day. It’s cross-platform approach makes jotting a note on my phone, revising it on my Chromebook, then converting it to a Google Doc on my desktop a snap. It is lightweight in terms of storage space and processor demands, yet it is robust in its abilities. Saving audio, photos, etc into notes is simple. Setting reminders, even recurring reminders, makes this app outrageously useful for jotting quick reminders when adding something to a calendar is just too time consuming. And again, the cross-platform approach means that the reminder pops up on your iPhone, your Chromebook, and your Windows machine (or Mac) unlike Apple’s native reminder / to do apps. Of course, you have to be using Chrome on your computers as the internet browser. But why wouldn’t you? :-) In all, it’s a very useful app for organizing and staying on top of personal and professional business! -
Great app however I have one request... For reminders, if it's a crucial reminder I can have it repeat every day at the same time, but there's no option to have it repeat the same day. If there was an option to set it to repeat every x number of minutes or every x number of hours that would be perfect and very helpful in case you miss the first notification.

Scrolling and Return Key Bugs
I absolutely LOVE Google Keep and use it excessively. That said, I’ve been meaning to write a review about the two bugs that constantly annoy me: sometimes the keyboard pops up when scrolling through a note when I did not intend to edit it, just to read it, thus my annoyance when it pops up. I think it does so when I scroll only a small amount and it registers as a tap gesture instead of just a scroll gesture. Two: if I press the return key—creating a new line of text—when there are also other lines of text below where I am currently typing (whether I thereafter type or paste something in or just leave the line blank) after a few seconds the line below that one pops up, merging onto the end of the above line I just entered, and I have to replace my cursor and separate the lines again, putting the lower one back down where it belongs. -
Updated - Late September update seems to have fixed the issues caused by the August changes.
[updated] They finally seem to have fixed Keep, thank goodness. For about 6 weeks it was unusable. Now it seems to work fine, no longer deleting items and failing to sync. Glad Google fixed what they had broken, but better communication from the company to its users should have happened. 👎 on treating your users this way. I used it daily. Still use it via the web. But the August iPhone update made it unusable. Can't connect. Screws up your entries. It's a disaster. And Google's been silent through it all. No acknowledgement anywhere -- support pages or forums -- of the problems. The app support pages are worthless. Hey Google, end the silence and let us know that you've heard us! And fix this used-to-be great app and the sync issues, please. -
Loveeee this but please make an option - to BOLD, slant and underline words (the one I want the most) - Change font and colour - Sort notes alphabetically (or in a preferred way) - Categorise notes - Word count/ spelling check (if possible) Also when you draw something make it engraved into the note. So it isn't a separate format on top of the text added kinda like a picture. Instead as you scroll down through the typing/words,the writing comes up engraved with no square around like a border
-
So close to 5 stars!
I stopped using Apple Notes after I started using Keep because Keep is a beautiful note taking app. I love how colorful, simple, and clean the interface of Keep is. The only thing that is missing is the ability to lock notes so others who might access my phone don’t get into it. I write personal things and I store passwords in Keep but there is no privacy mode where I can’t password protect or pin/fingerprint protect these personal notes, while Apple Notes does have this feature. I think more and more people would use Keep instead of other note taking apps like Apple Notes if this feature was present. Please hear me out! Will update my rating to 5 if this useful feature is added. Thank you!

a decent application
-
Really need an option to view the notes as tiny lists so that we can see atleast 10-20 of them at once.

Needs a way to sort lists

I actually like the App, it let's me take notes to recall later on a spread of other devices that I own. sure you may want different fonts and sizes, but for me I am just fine for what it does. I can share notes with my family and we are all on the same page. it isnt too much that you will get lost or to less like some apps are just plain and boring you can transfer the notes to google docs and it has pages to color code to categorize as well as make your own labels. oh and the reminders!
-
I love this app for saving info, photos and links. It is easy visbile and user friendly and you can make categories for all the different notes. I love the function of attaching photos (very cool for screenshots of recipes etc). You can even even draw or write something along with the note. The only additional function I think would be a very useful function is to format words within the note such as underline or bold, other than that it is perfect!
-
This app is totally insane. Everyday I use it. It's very much handy and essential for me. I never found any technical issues in this app. ⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Suggestions : 1) Developers can add 'spelling check' feature. 2) If I make a list on this app and share it through whatsapp (any other Messenger app), it should be appeared in a shape of a 'list'. (If possible)

You have to give it a chance
The first time I tried Google Keep, it failed. However, that was not a problem with Google Keep, it was my problem and not fully understanding how Google keep works. Once I adapted to its way of keeping notes, I found it even better than apple notes, which I have used for years. Google keep does a nice job of organizing with labels, making it easier to find things were search rather than categories or folders. The clipper used in any browser is very effective. If you use Gmail, Google calendar, or have any investment in the Google ecosystem, you should try Google Keep. Once you adapt to it, you will like it. -
The audio notes were working by arabic separately but now you connected it by the sitting of the phone language and this is very wrong because my phone language is English and the audio notes always is English, if I need arabic audio notes I have to change the all phone language to Arabic !!! This is the worst features in this update. Please solve this problem.

I love this app and it's integration with other Google tools. The location activation is buggy, but that is understandable given GPS is often buggy. HOWEVER... I just received an 8am notification at 7.46am. Other times it has come though late. Something as simple as a time based reminder really should be consistent and accurate. EDIT... tried to use the "contact developer" info but that email doesn't work. Guessing leaving feedback won't be looked at either. Sad.

There’s so much more you should add to it!
I really love this app, because I can access the contents from my phone or laptop because it’s connected to my google account. For that, I have no complaints. However, I wish there were more customizable options when taking notes. To be able to bold or italicize your notes so that they are more easier to read and more organized (like the apple notes app!) I think this app is great to jot down quick notes, but it could be even better for the major neat freaks out there like me if there was more customization with the notes you are taking! If there are features to put notes under labels to organize it in that sense, it should have more document features a well! -
1.great app 2.need to allow to share and receive pdf files 3.need to allow to to record audio and save as an audio file 4.need to have access to combine different notes taken 5.need to add custom colors on our own than to choose what is given 6.can connect this google lens for immediate image search 7.in the drawing part you can give brushes and more types of highlighters(with bright colors). 8.over all this had been a great app and had helped me in most of my works and if the remaining parts are rectified i would recommend this app to anybody. thanks!!
-
I find it as very helpful. I would like to put forward some suggestions that may help the users much better. The following are the suggestions 1. There must be an option for font color , style and size. 2. There can be option for sorting too, like A to Z I hope it would soon be considered and included. Thanks.
-
Good, but...
Overall, the app is good. Display is visually appealing and is user friendly. But it could benefit from a few things: • in two column view, it would be nice if you could have the option to organize things in two columns rather than just from left-to-right format which automatically re-formats the remainder of the items • if you could add multiple lists in a single note. Once you make a list in a note, you don’t have the option of a line break to make a new list in the same note. • the date & time reminder feature isn’t responsive. When you try to change the date or time of a reminder, it doesn’t recognize the change and just defaults back to the original time

Very helpful, but could use some improvements
I have used Google Keep now for a couple years to keep track of necessary business- related tasks as I am self-employed. I use Keep on both my phone and computer, and they sync very well — it’s so easy to be able to go back and forth. It’s also a helpful place to be able to quickly jot down any thoughts or ideas one has throughout the day. I pin my work related notes so I can see them right away, and if I scroll down I can see the “less important” notes underneath. My partner and I sync our notes for grocery lists which is another huge lifesaver. As for improvements, I’d really appreciate more color options for the Notes. And of course, the one thing that’s now missing thanks to the iOS 14 update is the ability to make widgets! I’ve searched the App Store looking for a simple task/to-do list app and find none that I like as much as Keep, but because there are no widgets (yet?) I feel less inclined to use Keep as I know being able to have a to-do list widget would be so helpful for me and I don’t want to miss out on that. And it would be too annoying to use two different apps — I prefer when things are much more streamlined. Please update Keep ASAP! -
need more to be better than iphone note
If you want to check the difference between iphone note and google keep, you will find that iphone note is great, because you can write arabic language from right to left without any issue and great emoji and good quality of emoji that is written in iOS note that defeat google keep, but wait google is good too for more space 15 GB good too. Now the solution: 1- fix the alignment ( arabic and english) 2- create good emoji pictures different than iphone to be for google. 3- fix links issues and google map links too. 4- increase the security of google keep. 5- lets work with iOS company to merge between iphone notes and google keep easily. ( this need high step cooperation) 6- give a chance to share from iphone studio to google keep easily. 7- easy drawing note with iOS Cooperation between note and google keep. 8- more folders and subfolders and easy way to search for sub folders and easy lock for each secure note 9- each google keep note have a date and synchronized with calendar and easy create a link between calendar day and google keep note. 10- anything new will be great idea to help more in business or normal life Like for example record a voice note or transfer voice note from iOS note to google keep note with option of recording voice. My wishes for google 🌹 -
Bold, Italic & underline formatting are missing but it’s a great alternative to Onenote
It feels incomprehensible that Google wouldn’t allow users of this great app to format text with bold, italic or underline. This basic feature, part of every word processing program since the late 80s is missing from this app! It’s stupefying. You can do this in every other Google app but not this one. This missing feature is single-handedly keeping this app from really competing with Microsoft OneNote. Google has an opportunity since OneNote for iOS has been badly broken for over a year. It won’t sync notes across platforms anymore! Authentication is completely bugged and your notes won’t sync unless you sign in every day which leads to all kinds of conflicts. The app is unusable these days. Google keep could pick up that market. That’s how I know about it. I had to abandon Microsoft’s platform after they broke it. -
Good
I prefer using everything google from mail to photos because everything syncs up no matter what device you’re on and when I found out there was a notes app I immediately downloaded it,, I really like the concept and how you can have the checkboxes and colors however the labels and archiving don’t sync up very well. I like to have some notes for cooking or workouts and not have them clog up my main screen so I archive them and put them in their labels, but when I click the label and click the notes it brings me to the archive section, but the device still thinks It is in the individual label and I have to click out and click back it to get just the notes in the label to pop back and it’s quite annoying. I would prefer it if the labels acted like folders in drive rather than just labels or have the options for both. -
Not bad, trying to force myself to use it, but definitely things like allowing text to be formatted, allowing mixture of text and check boxes, folder structure (or at least labeling and nesting like in Gmail) must be out there for rating to go above 3 stars. As someone who was switching in the past between iOS and Android platforms, I would really like to see Keep trying to start to compete with Notes iOS app.
-
Decent note keeping option, though a boring and uninspired app to say the least. No options for page layout, no vector tools for grids or diagrams, limited freehand tools, limited formatting. Recommended if you'd like something dumb and reliable. To its credit though, the labels are seamless and the 'Things' filter is somewhat interesting (but mostly a gimmick for organized people). If you need more control over how your notes look, try OneNote.
-
First review: I am so upset! I had a ton of really important notes in here and all of a sudden it is empty. What the heck happened to all my notes????? Update: Well, duh. I guess it helps if I check to make sure I'm logged in as me before I freak out. HOWEVER I am prevented from giving it the 5 stars I feel it deserves for being a great app because I didn't get even one response from y'all. Even if just to tell me nicely to step away from whatever I'm smoking. That neglect cost you 2 stars. =/

Was once a great app
I still use this as my main note taking apps because if everything worked correctly it would fit my needs the best. I used to shared lists like grocery lists with my wife but we stopped doing that after too many syncing issues where we would get to the store and notice have the list is missing. I could get over that, however recently I have had this issue where when I’m trying to edit a list the keyboard keeps glitching where it seems like it’s constantly trying to create a new keyboard making it impossible to type. Happens way too often and kills the experience. Idk why this started to happen, worked great for so long. I would just use Apple notes but I want my checked items to get lumped together like this app does...wish they would fix this app. -
A few UX opportunities
Overall this is a fine app for notes and checklists especially when considering the benefits of it being slotted into the Google ecosystem. However there are two UX issues that come to mind that stop me from being all that happy with it. The first is a lack of a platform standard left edge swipe gesture to return to the top level list view from an individual note. You’re relying on users to tap the upper left arrow. Not conforming to basic platform conventions makes this app stick out as being inconsistent. There must be another way to make a checklist item a “sub” item — it’s frustrating to constantly do this on accident. The second issue I see is the floating of the “add” and “more” icons at the bottom of the display when the keyboard is open. Users assume that toolbars floating above the keyboard relate to the task of typing. e.g. in the stock iOS notes app, quick actions to adjust type formatting. Instead, these icons have more to do with the overall note. The ... “more” icon would probably make more sense in the upper right next to archive. The add button might make more sense as a floating action button in the lower right, visible when the keys are hidden.

Used to love this app
I used to love this app. My wife and I kept a shared grocery list as well as others. The grocery list, by far, gets the most use. For the last year and a half, it has become pretty buggy for me. Lists would disappear, updates made by one collaborator would not show up for the others on the list. Now, lately, I can’t seem to add an item to my grocery list without the app crashing. I’ve closed the app on my iPhone, restarted it, shut the app down, hard booted my phone, created a copy of a list and deleted the original to see if one was corrupted, you name it, I’ve tried it. Now, not only does the app crash most of the time, when I do successfully add a line item, instead of keeping it where I added it, Keep tosses the line item down to the bottom of the list. I’m not able to move the item in the list order now as well. I’ve taken great pains to order the grocery list to coincide with the layout of my local grocery store. It’s WAY more efficient that way. Now it’s becoming an aggravation. I’ve got over 300 items in my list. Starting over would be a headache. I’m not really interested in using one of the other shopping apps that force a subscription or demand an account be set up for all members to share. I really liked the way Google Keep used to work. Google! Please fix this app!! For what it’s worth, I’m using an iPhone 6+ with iOS 11.3.whatever the latest is. -
I would love to rate it 4-5, but there's some kind of a problem with this app. Sometimes, it crashes then some of my saved notes suddenly disappears and that happened to me, 3, THREE TIMES already and it really made me wanna rate this app, 3 stars. If you can only fix that problem, I would rate this app, 5 stars. Edit: Actually I'm gonna rate this 2, I'm so mad right now. This happened to me again and I. AM. SO. FURIOUS. If you don't fix it and didn't tell me, I will never use this again.
-
A recent change fades out the content at top and bottom of mobile screen (Android 11), rendering it unusable for taking notes that get to the bottom of the screen (just above the keyboard). The lowest line is faded out and very hard to read - as you type it. You have to manually keep scrolling up if you keep typing. I have to switch to another note taking app now. :(
-
The app works fine for basic note keeping, my 1 star rating is because they don't have standard features like the ability to change font sizes, spacings, text color, and set words as underline or bold. Honestly all basic features that every other note app offers is missing from this. So if you wanna throw together a quick grocery list that's great, but for a list where things that are red or bold have a higher priority, this fails. 1 star is ridiculous, but so is not having these basic features.
-
Developer, Love this tool. However, can you add a "Spell Check" feature? I use this tool for drafting messages, letter writing etc. But, being able to check my spelling before finally copying and pasting the text for sending/submission would be a most useful feature in the Keep App. Your kind attention to the requested enhancement would be very much appreciated. Thank you. PS: Will happily revise my App Rating to five(5) Stars, following the requested improvement.

Used to be a five star app...
Google Keep used to be my favorite app for making lists. I loved that if I switched devices, it would update across them seamlessly. However, the last two updates broke the app. It started freezing while checking things off the list with the update prior to the most recent one. Now, with the newest update, the app will not refresh and update across my devices, no matter how much I try to get it to work. It started with freezing and crashing upon opening, and now it tells me I need to “refresh”, but when I do it sits on a white screen saying it’s “Refreshing...” and then comes back to say the “refresh failed” and to try again later. It’s become more of a pain to use than it’s worth, so I just deleted it and will use the native list app on my iPhone for now. Hopefully when I check back in a couple months these problems are fixed, and I can start using this app again. -
Lag, non-responsive, failures to sync
I am hugely reliant on this app. Unfortunately, since iOS 11, and especially with this most recent app update, the app has become very unstable. Syncing across my devices is sketchy at best, and information disappears. I’ve had to recreate whole sections of notes which sync my updates; rather, the app took the updated note and synced it backwards to the previous version on another device. Response to touch / type /cursor movement is slow at best, but usually impossible. You can’t move the cursor anywhere. To move in a note, you actually have to exit the note, re-enter it, carefully place the cursor at what you need to edit (nowhere else!), then exit again, and re-enter it at the next place to edit. Any attempt to move the cursor or tap elsewhere in the note has absolutely no response. I hope this is rapidly addressed, as otherwise Keep is a lifeline app for me. -
Even buggier-unusable
I love Keep, but this app is very buggy. I open a note that says Grocery, but a list of errands opens instead. Sometimes as many as 3 or 4 copies of the same note are generated. Other times the notes shuffle unexpectedly. Would be great if it functioned like the Web version. Update: Downgraded to one star. I am the only person using the app it is not shared. Yet duplicate notes are created, they shuffle back and forth, the wrong notes open when i tap on it. I love this app and it is so usable and functional, but these problems are driving me away. As much as i want to use it, I’ve even down presentations to others about it, the problems have to be fixed. 3/29: downgraded to 1 star. Duplicated notes and duplicated entries on notes. Web version is fine, but the app is unusable with duplicated entries on checklists, wrong note opening when you tap on (tap on Shopping, laundry list note opens). -
I have never rated any app 1 star before and I never thought this app would be the first.. I mean I loved this app until recently it keeps crashing.. I've tried everything, I've cleared the data, force stoped it, and even uninstall and reinstall.. but it never seems to work.. like I said I really love this app but I don't know why it suddenly became misbehaving like this.. please GOOGLE I'm begging, fix this please 🥺

Gud but voice notes is not perfect

I would love to rate it 4-5, but there's some kind of a problem with this app. Sometimes, it crashes then some of my saved notes suddenly disappears and that happened to me, 3, THREE TIMES already and it really made me wanna rate this app, 3 stars. If you can only fix that problem, I would rate this app, 5 stars. Edit: Actually I'm gonna rate this 2, I'm so mad right now. This happened to me again and I. AM. SO. FURIOUS. If you don't fix it and didn't tell me, I will never use this again.

Used to love this app
I used to love this app. My wife and I kept a shared grocery list as well as others. The grocery list, by far, gets the most use. For the last year and a half, it has become pretty buggy for me. Lists would disappear, updates made by one collaborator would not show up for the others on the list. Now, lately, I can’t seem to add an item to my grocery list without the app crashing. I’ve closed the app on my iPhone, restarted it, shut the app down, hard booted my phone, created a copy of a list and deleted the original to see if one was corrupted, you name it, I’ve tried it. Now, not only does the app crash most of the time, when I do successfully add a line item, instead of keeping it where I added it, Keep tosses the line item down to the bottom of the list. I’m not able to move the item in the list order now as well. I’ve taken great pains to order the grocery list to coincide with the layout of my local grocery store. It’s WAY more efficient that way. Now it’s becoming an aggravation. I’ve got over 300 items in my list. Starting over would be a headache. I’m not really interested in using one of the other shopping apps that force a subscription or demand an account be set up for all members to share. I really liked the way Google Keep used to work. Google! Please fix this app!! For what it’s worth, I’m using an iPhone 6+ with iOS 11.3.whatever the latest is. -
A recent change fades out the content at top and bottom of mobile screen (Android 11), rendering it unusable for taking notes that get to the bottom of the screen (just above the keyboard). The lowest line is faded out and very hard to read - as you type it. You have to manually keep scrolling up if you keep typing. I have to switch to another note taking app now. :(

The app works fine for basic note keeping, my 1 star rating is because they don't have standard features like the ability to change font sizes, spacings, text color, and set words as underline or bold. Honestly all basic features that every other note app offers is missing from this. So if you wanna throw together a quick grocery list that's great, but for a list where things that are red or bold have a higher priority, this fails. 1 star is ridiculous, but so is not having these basic features.
