Google keep is perfect for taking notes not the best for task management
I'm a very big Google fan and love their ecosystem that includes Google keep. I will continue to use Google keep for all my note needs and can't wait to see what else Google can come up with
PROSGoogle keep is one of those pieces of software that you cannot live without if you are part of the Google ecosystem. It is integrated with all the other applications they offer and that makes everything so seamless
CONSIt's hard to really give this thing a con because it says right in the name Google notes it's created for taking notes and it does that perfectly. No matter where you take your note if you're connected to your Google account you'll be able to access that from anywhere. It's not the best when it comes to task management or project management but again that's not what the app is designed for
Reason for choosing Google Keep
Due to its seamless integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem
Reasons for switching to Google Keep
Because Microsoft OneNote and Evernote could not integrate properly into the Google ecosystem

Best Note-Taking App for Free
I have been using Google Keep for a few years now and it's going to remain my favorite and go-to no frills note taking software. It is also absolutely free to use!
PROSI love that Google Keep is free and can be easily integrated with other Google suite softwares. It is easy to use to take quick notes and/or to create a to-do list with dateline reminders.
CONSFor my needs, there isn't any features about Google Keep that I dislike or am missing. I decided with Google Keep after having looking into several other softwares and am currently quite satisfied with it.
Reason for choosing Google Keep
Because Todoist offered more features than what I was looking for which overwhelmed my experience. Todoist is a great product and allows for integration with other softwares like emails and calendars but it didn't fit my personal needs as I like to keep my emails and calendars separate from my to-do list.
Reasons for switching to Google Keep
Didn't allow for simple note taking without any form of structural restrictions. I was looking for a software that allowed me to make a to-do list and also take notes, all in one platform.

Google Keep
I love taking notes daily. Check boxes notes and colour coding my notes were probably what I liked most about Google Keep.
CONSRecently I have switched to samsung notes as there was an issue with using the phone keyboard in Google Keep. I did some research and found other users having this issue. The autocorrect would not work properly. Prior to that I would use Google Keep notes every day.

It was a normal experience. I tried a friend’s suggestion and did not find anything special about it
PROSIn fact, it was very ordinary and I no longer use it and did not find any interesting features in it
CONSIt is not smooth to use, I felt heavy when moving inside it, and its design and shape are not very stimulating

My everyday notekeeper
I can use it from anywhere and anyhow. Since it's connected to cloud, I can use it from any device and any place. We can add notes and check it whenever we want. I preferably use keep to write what I think or some ideas that spark in my mind that has to be written then and there or else I would forget about it later.
CONSNothing. I like how keep works and it's easy to use. There might be some new cool features can be added in future like ai bot or grammar and typo error checker.

Your digital notepad that integrates with the Google Suite - so everything is all in one
It's been good. The fact that it syncs with your Google account is good because you can retrieve it from anywhere once logged in. It has a nice UI but it definitely has some work in terms of managing the notes.
PROSI like the fact that it has a nice interface. It's customisable too for different colours and it looks like little blocks on your dashboard.
CONSI think there's needs to be some sort of structural feature introduced. At the moment, all the blocks are scattered everywhere and looks a little messy. It needs some folder or structural feature to organise the notes.
Reasons for switching to Google Keep
I needed something that would sync with my Google Suite products.

Google Keep for General Use
It is quite easy to use.
PROSYou can instantly capture the texts in a screenshot you have recorded and print them in the note section.It works in an integrated way between your computer and your phone.
CONSIf you want to categorize your notes, it does not offer many possibilities.

Fast and sure way to keep notes
I use Google Keep to keep my important information which I know I would need to bring out quickly when needed.
PROSI like it because it has labels which help me to organize my work, just as I would with folders. It is also easy to collaborate with other contacts by simply adding an email address to the note being edited. The syncing speed is also perfect.
CONSGoogle keep has no option to add a checklist within a note. If I do, all the notes become a checklist. I would suggest that the checklist should not be entered as a separate entry but rather as a list within a typed note. It would be convenient that way.
Reasons for switching to Google Keep
I wanted an app that has a reminder and a space to write up my notes in an organised manner.

Review for Google Keep
It is simple and it does what it intended to do, for notes. I like the checklist where it shows a slashed text for the things that you already have done.
CONSIt is too plain looking. Putting a bit of design or feature will make this better.
Reasons for switching to Google Keep
Google Keep is better for mobile phones since it is simpler and the screen isn't flooded with options.

Free but at a cost
Being free to use is on of the biggest pros of this app. Not only that, it's easy to use interface and customisation for notes makes it very likeable.
CONSThe app crashes a lot. Imagine a note taking app crashing on you for just creating a to-do list. This issue has been there from the start of the app and it has yet to be fixed. Other than that, I feel that app slows down your device considerably if your using it on phone.
Reasons for switching to Google Keep
Doesn't crash as often as Keep and customisation is very to apply.

Google Keep. Essential app daily
I couldn't go a single day without using google keep both in my business and in my private life. It makes it much easier for me to take notes and organize my ideas. On my mobile I usually use it in its transcribed audio notes function to later develop the ideas that occur to me anywhere. Is fantastic!
PROSI think the most useful feature for me is taking audio notes from my mobile. Also the organization of all the notes by projects and colors makes it very visual.
CONSAny improvement in the on-screen presentation would be welcome.

A Great Basic Note Taking App
My overall experience with Google Keep has been really positive and would recommend it to others for quick note taking and management. There are few areas that can be improved but overall Google Keep is a really strong product.
PROSThere are many features that are great in Google Keep including multi device sync, quick add feature and the ability to add documents and files. The interface is really clean and minimal. Also, there are lot of good editing features.
CONSI think multi user collaboration can be improved in Google Keep, it is still not usable and can be improved. Also, notes management and organisation can be improved. Features like tags and folders can be improved to improve the overall feature set.

It is a good handy tool for day-to-day note keeping, but some more features can make it better
Overall it is great at what it is designed to do, but with more features it can be better
PROSIt's mobile app is excellent. Especially with the widget on the home screen of the phone, I can easily jot down my thoughts on the go. The seamless syncing with the desktop integration is also useful. The dashboard and search are very good too.
CONSNeeds more features and tools to let us better organize notes. With too many notes, everything starts to look like a mess. So like if we can group multiple notes together then that would be great

For easy notes anywhere in the world
I love the fact that I can access my notes from anywhere by logging into my gmail. Its easy to make notes which can be checked when finish. Great for supermarket, though I mainly use it to create a list of new words that I am learning with meanings which I can share with anyone at anytime.
CONSThe only con I found is that the colors available for each note is limited. I wanted each category of note to have its own color but that wasn't possible based on this limitation.

Tool that makes your life much easier.
It is super fast to create a note and to have in all your devices. And it's free.
CONSI don't like when I put a link in a note and google keep automaticaly creates a "bar" at the bottom of the note but also keeps the link in the middle of the text. I would be nice if you could select how you want you link to be displayed, like in Confluence.

What did I do before Keep?
Keep solves my problem of sticky notes everywhere, links saved to my desktop taking up space and forgetting where I put that ...
PROSI started by writing a grocery list and now I use it for all kinds of portable sticky note type stuff. I save links, numbers, reminders, all kinds of stuff. I don't know what I did without it! I can set up a note, turn it into a reminder, share it, add an image. Just love it!
CONSI use Keep with more than one Google profile. In cleaning up some confusion, I copied a note from one account to another, deleted the first one and then discovered that it deleted the one I copied. I fixed it and now I'm more careful about which account I put notes into.

The Best Cloud Base Note Application
Google Keep is the perfect all around note taking application that is based in the cloud and can be accessed on any computer or smart phone device. It stores very large notes, has terrific archival tools for unnecessary/older note threads and has so many customization options for anyone to enjoy for personal or organization reasons.
CONSThere has been known to be glitches from time to time (some have reported the cursor while on a phone to move to the bottom of the page), but overall it is very solid and easy to use.

Keep it everywhere!
I have been using this for over 5 years and cannot think of life with out this. It has made it easier to track shopping lists, keep sensitive data stored, share lists of data with my coworkers and to track daily tasks in a simplified way.
PROSIt's a great way to take your notes, save important data, make a shopping list or a simple task tracker. Available on every device you use your account with means you can keep up to date. It has a very simple and intuitive interface, you can collaborate with others and it integrates into Google Workspace or your personal account with other tools like Calendar and Docs. You can also set up reminders or alerts to notes allowing you to be on top of tasks.
CONSIf you keep a lot of notes, organization becomes an issue. You can drag and drop or pin items, but at some point you'll have to sort info.

Google does it best when it comes to Productivity or Content Management
I started note taking years ago with Google Keep before looking for more features in other apps but this has been my go-to for anything related to work.
PROSThe open canvas to track every bit of info especially if your are Google Workspace user. This could be the place to record every info that you think you have to come back and refer. The search is top notch and the integration with Google suite of apps is excellent
CONSActs buggy at times so not sure if it because of Chrome or the platform

Productive
Google keep helps me solve my problems because I'm able to organize my thoughts as a song writer. I realized that I'm more productive when I use this software. I don't use pen and paper to write my songs anymore. And I can write songs anytime anywhere with just my phone.
PROSThe features that are most impactful are note taking, search and image upload. You can take notes even offline. You don't have to scan all your notes to find a specific note because you can just search it using this feature. It's easy to use. You can upload more than one photo in a note. As a song writer, I downloaded this app on my phone to take note of my ideas and so far, I already finished 2 songs which is good.
CONSThe software can be improved by adding an option to upload video.
