Good Minimalist note taking

My overall experience with Google keep is okay, it just lacked organization features.

Pros:

What I liked the most was that it links with Google accounts so it can automatically save your notes to Google. I also like the way you can customize notes by changing the notes color and you can even customize the background on the note.

Cons:

What I didn't like was how very basic it is. I like to organize notes I take into folders, with Google keep all you can really do is label your notes, they all stay on the main screen, which in my opinion looks messy.

Pros:

The most neat feature for me is the labeling, it allows me to separate different notes by my criteria. Also sharable checklists are a useful features as it allows to easily complete tasks for different projects for work, or even shopping lists. The app is versatile as is available as a web app that you can access from a browser or as a smartphone app.

Cons:

Sometimes an import feature would be a great time saver.

Reasons for switching to Google Keep

As we are in Google Ecosystem we saw that Google Keep integrates better with our workspace.

Pros:

Google Keep is an absolute life saver! You can make to-do lists, save links, add images, and even remind yourself of emails. The function and features are a dream for anyone who likes to stay organized! You can even get your to-do lists right on your phone to never forget a thing.

Cons:

My only real complaint is that I wish it was easier to customize the headers, fonts, and even colors. As someone who like their to-do list to not just be functional but also look pretty I wish this was a little easier with Google Keep.

Google Keep is one of my all time favorite apps!

I originally opened Google Keep because I saw it in my Google apps and didn't know what it was, so I clicked into it just out of curiosity. So glad I did!! It's now one of my most utilized apps and took over to replace how I used to use the Notes app on my iPhone. I like that I can access Keep from anywhere I log into my Google account. For me it's easier to organize and manage my various lists and notes. I have wild ADHD so having Keep has been extremely helpful. I need to write down everything and anything that I want or need to remember because if I don't it's immediately forgotten like it never existed. I'm able to make notes, or save pictures, write myself things I need to go back to, I also use it just as a brain dump/journal when I need to just organize my thoughts. Keep is awesome and I highly recommend, plus it's free with a Google Account so definitely a HUGE value for zero money since it doesn't cost me anything!

Pros:

Google Keep is my "go-to" for quick notes, brainstorming, random things I want to remember to check on, grocery lists, basically anything "informal" that I need to jot down, especially on the go. It's great for my own task management too, I really like the features it has that allow me to paste pictures, color code my notes, and that it's quick and easy to navigate and find the specific note I want to add to.

Cons:

The only "con" is that I wish I could change the font within specific notes. It's nice that I can change the background and add pictures so I am able to organize that way, but the additional customization to change font size and color would definitely be a major improvement for me!

Great note taking and list making tool from Google

One of the best tools to take quick notes, to-do lists, and rough sketches. I've been using Keep for more than 3 years now and am completely satisfied.

Functionality

Pros:

Very handy app for making quick notes, lists or even sketches. I often use Google Keep to take notes during meetings and don't need to keep a diary and pen. It's super easy to copy and transfer into a Word Doc later. Most importantly, it autosaves in real time, so you don't miss even a single word you typed, in case you accidentally close the app

Cons:

I would have liked it better if Google Keep had some basic formatting capabilities like Bold and Italics. While they do have lists and check boxes, it would have been great to be able to bold, italicize and highlight text as well

Great quick notes taking app!!

Great app to be used for quick notetaking and frequent use, not great for extended notetaking either typing or pen input as the UI is not designed around pen input.

Functionality

Pros:

This app is very easy to use, has great quality features and also syncs everything on your Google account, for easy access on all devices. I particularly like the pin feature for notes, absent on other notes apps like apple notes and Samsung notes. UI/IX is also top notch.

Cons:

I don't like the lack of pen support, I have pen support on my laptop and a galaxy ultra device with an s pen, but because Google keep lacks good pen support and features around it, whenever I have to take notes using my pen which is often I have to switch to something like OneNote.

Pros:

I like Google Keep because it's like having post-it notes all in place for important information I have to access quickly. It's so easy to use. I also like that you can add it as an add-on so it's quickly accessible on any Google page.

Cons:

I wish you could move the notes around on the add-on without having to go to the webpage to rearrange them.
