Overall Satisfaction with Google Keep

Google Keep has been used exclusively by myself. I started using the software as I have other Google products and decided to test it out. It has great functionality for simple check box notes, general text notes, etc. It also has a great voice to text transcription service that utilizes Google Assistants speech recognition which is effortlessly top notch.
  • 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.
  • Great for work objectives.
  • Great for personal life objectives since you can create multiple notes, color code them.
I believe Google Keep does a great job stacked up against the other competitors. Evernote has a bit more synchronicity between other software and a very strong OCR technology but Google Keep holds its own as a free, easy-to-use note-taking app. I have used all three of these extensively and found the simplicity of Google Keep is easy to use for all purposes.

Google Keep Support

I gave this rating based on the ease of use, the simple functionality and how well it does at keeping my attention and helping me continue to use it and stay on track. The functionality mentioned before alongside the reminder functions and how it utilizes Google's powerful machine learning tech to better its software is remarkable.
