Overall Satisfaction with Google Keep

For anything we need to remember that requires quick, easy access, we use Google Keep. We can use it on our phones, tablets, computers, whatever, and any change, on any device, is automatically updated on all devices. We can even share items with other team members, if desired, and they can update across all devices, as well.

Pros

  • Keeps anything we need to remember available any time anywhere.
  • Works across multiple devices without a hitch.
  • Any item can be shared with other team members, as desired.

Cons

  • I'm not sure what happens when different team members try to update at the same time.
  • They could let us know, during setup or something, what happens when different team members try to update at the same time, so we are not in doubt.
  • They could let us adjust the colors of the text, especially check lists where checked off items become very dim. We would like to make checked off items a different color, but still more visible.
  • It eliminates multiple purchases of the same item, by different team members, or even the same team member sometimes.
  • We use it to ensure that we have everything we need for a meeting, project, whatever, before we begin, to minimize interruptions.
  • The memory challenged team members can use it extensively to stay on track and reduce the time consuming process of multiple purchases of the same item and single or multiple returns.
Google Keep is an easy, reliable notetaking app that can be used on multiple, or numerous devices, by one or multiple team members. It is excellent for coordinating purchases and the various steps required in preparing for a project. When multiple items need to be purchased for a project, it's much easier for different team members to pick up items at their convenience and check them off, so everyone knows what we have and what is still needed.
Google Keep and Evernote share many of the same functions and features, and for some tasks, Evernote offers more features that may make it preferable. However, Google Keep is light, simple, easy to understand, and generally very easy to work with, whereas Evernote is much more involved.

We use it to post photos of a given area or circumstance, so there is never a question about the current appearance or the desired appearance, as the case may be. We also use it a lot for checklists. When items are needed, possibly from different locations, team members can check them off a shared list as they are acquired, so we can see what is still required and what has been acquired, and the person responsible can initial the checked-off entry.
