I use both samsung notes and google keep. Keep is mostly for quick notes and typewritten notes. Quick because you just long press the icon and instantly make a note.
It's the shopping list for the supermarket. Whichever family member is doing the shopping, anyone at home can add to it while the person doing the shopping can read any additions straight away. Just tick off each item on the list as you're wandering around the aisles!
The best thing about google keep is simply the ease of access from a web browser. There are a ton of great and far better note taking apps but they are simply apps, no web versions are available and if they are, they would be too complicated or cluttered. Props to google for keeping keep simple and easy to use and sync
July 2024 and you STILL cannot search inside of a note. Checked items are STILL randomly disorganized (NOT organized alphabetically or by date), and you STILL cannot sort checklist items by any metric other than manually. For having so much obscure functionallity it's baffling that Google neglected to include the basics.
This app would be nearly perfect if it allowed you to group notes in a file system. Why would you make it one big blob 100% dependent on tags for organization? WHY???
I don't understand the problem lol Anyone can choose to go with an iPhone or an apple watch or a mac-I am impressed with both the Android stuff and the apple stuff as well-both deserve what's coming their way-no need to take side's-we should be grateful to have both of them instead 😉............
My favorite feature of Keep (and Gmail) is Labels. I have my notes organized by: Home, Work, Tech, etc. meaning it's easy to find what I am looking for.
I actually only use the app for our shopping list so that everyone in the household can access it. I find Apple Notes much clearer and would like to have folders with keep.
Once you've labeled your notes in the categories like my notes my dad's notes my mom's notes is there any way that all those notes can be put into one neat folder?
I mostly use Samsung Notes, but I do use Google Keep to see what classes I have that day. My organisation has a Week A and Week B format so I have created 2 labels in Google Keep for Week A and B with 5 notes in each category for each day and then I have them on both my phone's homescreen and my Tablet's homescreen for easy access. I can also see them on my organisation's laptops that they provide since it is synced with my account. I also like to set the colour to green as well.
One thing I wish GK could do is allow highlighting, text size, underlining, bold, etc. I have an extensive collection of notes in *Evernote* and I can create a very readable document that way. Evernote is trying to push its free users out, though; does anyone know of a good alternative?
I like that I can open my Keep checklists on my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and tick off my shopping list without having to have my phone out. Overall Keep is simple, but very useful and underrated.
I think you can do that. If you just start typing the word you want to search in the search bar, it will pull up any note that has that words in any part of the note.
@@weeksie500 I have multiple different note folders I guess you would call them. If I search a word it will show which folder it's in, but it won't go to the actual part of the file that has the word I searched. For example, I have a to-do list folder, a long term projects folder, a grocery list folder, cologne notes breakdown folder...etc. So if I search the word "plum" it may show it's in the grocery list folder and the cologne notes folder. If I select the cologne notes folder, I still have to scroll through the folder to find the actual word "plum". If all that makes sense LOL....and I may be doing it wrong
I'm a writer and musician. The sheer amount of notes I have in Keep is wild. Keep has been The app for me for 6 years at least. I wish there was better history support for each note though.
@@gloriaglore-ms7gk I hope we both never have to lose our information. You can't always keep a diary but you can have a phone. The value of record keeping of ourselves is engraved into all of us through education. It would be an unfortunate day if it happened and I think we both would need a hug for the huge loss.
Have an email for your notes about stories and an email for your music stuff. It doesn't make sense to mix both when you know you're going to create a lot of content for both... I hope it helps. Also make use of as many tags as possible, it'll make searching easier!
@@mariannacorreia3496 I hear you. But... I can categorize just fine... I was talking about history, file backup, recovery. I'm sure you could see value in this. If not. Cool. Regardless this post is old. And they already announced it's coming soon. Yes I did message em from my side. But I'm sure a lot of peeps did. It just makes sense.
Except the one thing it can't: security. Because my browser is logged into my Google account, all the Google apps are accessible without any password or PIN prompt. My Google photos, keep notes, gdrive, ... So I'm always hesitate to hand over my pc even for a second to others. They could atleast add an option to put a fucking PIN on these sites
I wish there was an import feature to import notes written on other apps. That way notes done on other apps like Samsung notes or xiaomi note app would not be lost.
My favorite feature is basically just the Sync. I can easily just see or even edit my notes and reminders on my PC and phone. It's not really a Keep Notes exclusive but the fact that I already use Chrome and signing in with my Google account just means I don't need to use another notes app.
Another feature is the ability to add items to a Keep list using any Google Assistant device. We use it in the kitchen to add items to the grocery list without lifting a finger!
What about being able to get the notes into Sheet (Spreadsheet) column A is the note column B is the label that kind of thing, for subsequent usage/sorting etc? Thanks
Love Google Keep. At this point, it feels like I couldn't live without it. Though there's still a few things I wouldn't mind them adding! Customizable ordering for labels without having to do it numeraically, i.e 1,2,3 for example. I also wish you could customize the ordering of pinned notes without having to unpin every note in a label. You should also be able to fully customize the background feature of a picture of your choosing. Lastly, a desktop app would be amazing, though I'm aware it's probably a hard thing to do. I use it on my browser, but not the biggest fan of it's aesthetic on the browser in comarpsion to the mobile version.
My fav thing about keep is syncing to google account instantly so my notes don't get lost and, i use it to copy and paste text to my laptop instantly. The web version is just as functional as the app.
Best thing about google keep for me is the integrated text from image recognition. While you can extract text and make a true text based note from an image, its not needed to perform a keyword search. Keep will bring up image only notes based on text in the image. Would be slightly better if you could basic edit the taken image to crop and rotate, etc.
@@janeleekeller at least some design changes. I'm bored of that design. I just use it because it syncs across platforms. And I cannot transfer my notes to another app 😢
They might be forcing me to use Google products (funny enough this is why I stopped using Apple over 15 years ago), has anyone found a solution to sync Google Keep list tools with a best of breed list solution (one for groceries, one for to dos, etc)
I have to admit I really wish Google Keep was more like Apple notes. 😢 It's so sad google can't it together. To many experimental apps that come out and get them get killed.
Anyone know of an alternative to Keep (other than ClickUp). Something that is really basic and easy like Keep. I just want to get off the Google train.
I used to love this used for many years in android and ios but recently find out they shared the data by default. Now I am looking for something different cross platform app
This tutorial is worth it's weight in gold. Clear, concise, and very informative. Proper English, not verbal shit from across. And the background music is exactly that. Thank you and keep it up.😊
keep google notes simple as is. no need for passwords, video, group security, other bloat features. if people want that, go download something else. google notes was originally a simple text editor, its slowly turning into a mini google drive.
Being able to subscribe users to a [READ ONLY] memo or newsletter would make Google Keep vastly useful. Why this hasn't occurred to Google all these years blows my mind 😢
Psst... don''t tell anyone, but it will run OCR on your images and put the text in your note. But you can''t bulk export and the API is not available in the free version - effectively making it a walled garden.
I have tried other note taking apps but always go back to "KEEP" One item I wish they,Google, would set up for the keep app would be to be able to lock the notes ... Unless there is and I'm missing it 🤔
to be honest google keep is way better than apple's own notes app as the syncing is way faster than icloud and surprisingly google keep has their own app for the apple watch and you can even see your pinned notes on your apple watch. personally, I have pinned my To Do List in my google keep to get quick access on the watch, heck you don't even get an apple notes app for the apple watch. this is the only app I use which makes a lot of sense and does what it says. syncing is amazing in real time. better than icloud and apple notes. i have apple devices, i don't own an android phone or a windows laptop but this is by far the best to do list maker and reminders app out there. apple should learn from this google's app includinig google maps lol. thanks for the video, great review. loved it :)
I hate google apps on pc, its just a website I got to admit i prefer keep over apple notes on the phone, but the overall experience mac/iphone is better with notes
If u have a word mentioned inside a note multiple times, Google Keep doesn't offer the functionality where u can see how many times the word is mentioned inside any particular note. Third party apps can easily do this.
What if there was a 'get notified' option on a 'shared note'?? Wouldn't that be great? Imagine that would make all other note taking apps with this feature redundant? Right.
I use Google notes to save YT shorts videos for later, I just create a label, and save my favorite shorts videos by sharing them to the Google Keep app🙃
