(1-11 of 11)- Search functionality is great
- Clean, simple yet attractive interface
- Easy to use
- Allows a picture to be part of the note
- Notes can be quite long
- Trustworthy place to save information you need later
- Attached to your google account
- The iOS app sometimes gets into a state and doesn't update your notes (won't show new notes from other devices / computer), needs to be re-installed to resolve
- Your notes take up space in your Google account's quota, though this is not very apparent at first - you have to keep an eye on what you are storing - huge pictures better not go in there
- Easy to use.
- Sync with all devices.
- Can add images, links, drawings, labels and reminders.
- Can add collaborators to the note.
- Can't change text format.
- Users can't undo changes.
- No notifications sent when tasks are added.
Easy to use, great tool!
- It's incredibly quick to load, it doesn't take long to pull up any note you have no matter how much information is in the note.
- The ability to collaborate on a Google Keep note is also great! It allows for two or more of you to work on a project in one space.
- I also love that I can color coordinate. I can make all my meeting notes one color, my personal notes another color and so on.
- Enjoying the pinning feature that allows me to keep my important notes right at the top so I don't have to go searching for them when needed.
- I wish that I was able to format within the note. There are times in which I would want to bold, underline or italicize and I'm not able to do so.
- There is a character limit in the note. And though it is a generous amount of characters that you can add in the note, I tend to reach that character limit often.
- I would love the ability to adjust the size of the notes. If you write a lot in the note, it makes it super long, but if you write just enough it will make it smaller and you can then open it up to reveal the note.
Google Keep = Efficiency
- Easy to organize and color coordinate.
- Allows for an associated image to be connected with the note.
- Alarms set for reminders.
- Ability to add others to the note to share and collaborate.
- There should be an option to align them straight rather than unevenly.
- Front options would be beneficial.
- More color options for a variety of sorting.
Not so great when needing to put data from another platform.
Google Keep - more than just note taking
- Collaboration.
- Just enough "extra" features to make it not too complicated.
- Simplicity.
- Not easy to change text/font if you aren't savvy with the product.
Swiss army knife for notes
- Check boxes.
- Notes.
- Cards.
- Collaboration.
- Revision history.
- Find word (CTRL+F).
- Cards color customizations.
- Simple text edition.
Google Keep Helps Forget Wunderlist or Evernote Even Exist.
- Check box style checklists.
- General notes keeping app.
- The text box check list style notes only allow one indent and it would be useful to allow at least 1 more indent(2 total).
- More robust font changes.
Keep Everything Just Where You Need It
- Quick note taking during conferences or meetings.
- Notes are easily shareable.
- Video recording, even if just a minute or less would be great.
- Folders for organization. There are labels already, but it doesn't separate them out from the main "feed."
Easy User Friendly Google keep
- Simple to use
- Easy to maintain
- More formatting options
- Better user interface would help
Excellent to way display what got done and what not from checklist.
Google Keep - Live tiles make for a pleasing note taking experience
- User Interface
- Live Tiles
- Lacks a desktop app
- Lacks app integration
- I find Google Keep is the best app to take simple notes in. Live tiles make it a far more pleasing visual experience, while also allowing a user to quickly see precisely what they've written down without opening each note. The clean and straightforward interface makes it very easy to pick up and use, then put away without fumbling around unnecessary features. Reminders and labels and colors keep things organized.
- If a user needs harder deadlines within an app, while Keep does have reminders, it has no app integration with google calendar to allow for that functionality to be too useful.
