User Reviews for Google Keep - Notes and lists

Please make it a widget!

I’ve started using this because I have ADHD and I’m a teacher and a million thoughts pop into my head throughout the day that I want to be able to dump out onto paper. The problem is then I have a million little notepads with random thoughts because I can’t keep track of one note pad. This is perfect because I can have it open on my computer and my phone and always have access to write it down. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I would LOVE to see it become a widget, so I can make the app way bigger on my phone so when I open my phone to open google keep and write something down, I don’t get distracted by a notification of some sort and forget what I was doing. I want to open my phone, have a giant bright yellow google keep looking at me so I can quickly click on it and dump all the thoughts out of my brain. Please help!!!!

Why do Google apps like Keep have third-rate search?

Keep could be an essential note-collection tool: it’s intuitive, simple, fast and offers valuable features like extracting text from almost any image saved to a Keep note.What relegates Keep to a 3.5 star afterthought is its weaknesses in something Google arguably does better than anyone on Earth: search. Perhaps there’s some super-strategy behind Google’s decision to make searching in most of its non-Gmail products worse than what we were able to accomplish in a 1980s DOS command. But the fundamental purpose of collecting notes in an app is to have key information available when we need it later.I’ll concede that Keep does allow searching by content type, labels and the text within notes. But certainly Google (whose name is universally used as shorthand for searching) has the technical chops to include advanced search in Keep and all their products.Where is: ›› Find notes created in a date range, or modified, or before? ›› Search for duplicate (or similar) notes? ›› Advanced search operators (AND, OR, NOT)? ›› Multiple search criteria, and saved searched?None of these missing key features are blue-sky next-gen technology. They’re the foundation of what Google does, and users deserve tools with at least the capabilities of 1980s-era software.

Not quite there

Google keep is my preferred note taking app out of all the other ones, but the level of polish and features aren’t really top notch from what I’d expect from a Google product. It also seems like updates are not being consistently pushed out, as if there’s just 1 dude working on Keep for half the time and goofing off the other half. There a lot of things that could make Google keep the clear best note taking app:- A widget for iphone that would show a note or notes- More customizable reminders (exact set dates for reminders that can be repeated)- Custom backgrounds for the whole background and notes backgrounds where you can insert your own picture and it’s slightly faded behind note contents- etc. Just please improve your app Google, there’s a lot of people that use this a lot and it has so much potential

Decent so far, but only a B+ rating

This is my first time using Keep for iOS, and I'm impressed thus far. However, I have 3 moderate gripes to share: 1) I wish the app would retain the label selection when reopening the app. For example, if I have my "Things to Do" label filtered and then close the app, I would like for the "Things to Do" label filter to still be enabled when I relaunch the app. It wipes the label filter every time and displays all notes again without a filter. This gets annoying to reselect each time. 2) A nice enhancement would be to auto-invite collaborators to any notes within a specific label. Currently, I have to invite my partner to every note one-by-one. This gets somewhat tiresome after 30+ new note invites, which also spammed her email inbox with 30+ notifications. That workflow could be improved. 3) If inviting a collaborator to a note, have the assigned label(s) carry over to the collaborator's Keep. For example, I assigned my partner to several "Gift Idea" labeled notes, but she had to go in and manually create/assign the same label within her account so that we maintained the same label. These labels should sync across, in my opinion.

Good app, just some suggestions

GOOD FEATURES1. 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 nice5. Aesthetically pleasing. Not that important but if an app looks old I’ll be less likely to choose itIMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS1. Add bold, italic, underline, and text size2. Make the option for images to be embedded at any place in the note instead of just attached at the top3. 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.

Flexible and easy; lots of suggestions

Love this. I use Keep, Sheets, and Calendar together as my digital Bullet Journal, and I swear Keep has made me more organized and self aware! Does it’s job and has lots packed in it that others take for granted (pinned notes/post its, GCal integration, reminders, etc)However there’s lots of room for improvement. I feel like Keep is in this productivity app limbo where it doesn’t know if it wants to be a post it note application or a note taking application. It doesnt capture long term notes but it doesn’t seem to feel like a true “post-it”/corkboard application either, and the integration with Google Docs in both web and mobile is lacking. I would appreciate it Google Keep expanded into more of a Trello/ Post-It hybrid and allowed for 1) Allow for Folder/Notebook categorization 2.) Adding font / RTE formatting 3) Ability to organize post it’s like a kanban board or grid board or any which way instead of the limited gallery view 4)Seamless integration with Google docs and Google Calendar (where searching for notes and accessing Keep notes within the Docs and Calendar app are easy )

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.

I love keep, visual to-do list, NEED iOS widget please!!!

I have need to be able to “see” my to dos and keep’s visual, sticky note like interface is great for that. (I have adhd and it works!) I am currently trying things 3 which is very nice and very powerful, but I am not organized enough to use it correctly — I basically just end up using one small to do list for everything. With keep I can keep different lists and can move them around so I can see them at the same time (a TODAY work list, a today home list, this week lists for work and home, etc. then current projects.) Tags and search and pinning make notes easy to find. I would like my filter or last search to stay put when reopening the app. Most importantly though I NEED to be able to put Keep notes (via widgets) on my iPhone so I can glance at my to do lists when opening my phone. This is why I switched to things 3, but I have to go back to keep b/c I just can’t stay on top of everything. I really really need those widgets and my adhd brain will be happy!!!

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!

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.
