Out of curiousity, do you label things, or just add notes and later search by what you need? And what sorts of content do you add in there?

Pin feature is already there. Hide is also available

@GetRightFitness 29 дней назад

The only 3 changes I'd make to this App to make it totally amazing would be to add the ability to create sublabels, link a note to a calendar event/ have a note show up as a calendar event, and allow for the ability to have different text structures in one note where I want them. For example, a checkbox section, then a photo with text under it, then checkboxes again. 👇

@Boyinthecircle 12 дней назад

Yep, these 3 would be super useful

I have some levels of ADHD and always struggle from completing tasks. After using several apps, I ended up with Google Keep. I make a separate note for each day the night before, and pin that note as a widget on to my phone screen. This note contains a set of tasks for the morning, afternoon and evening, sometimes location based. Every time I unlock my phone, I will be welcomed with the Huge google keep widget.

I used it to write my diary and it was nice and easy to organize and even quicky export to Google docs as 1 pdf. I just hope it has the option to put them in chronological order cuz so far when you copy to docs the ordering goes in reverse where the recent days are first. Overall a good feature tho.

It is a quite useful application, but it would be great if it allowed you to change the shape of the notes to ones similar to those that appear on Android 14.📝

@mabruradib9741 Месяц назад

Well, I most of the time use keep to make a shopping check list. Besides, I use the notification based reminder very frequently. I note down important event like going to buy books after few days, or having a picnic or program after a week, and set continuous reminder before the event to get myself fully prepared before the event. Also, keep small important notes related to study, which I can find right away by searching the note.

@mauriciomunoz87 Месяц назад

I'm an Apple Notes user, but I will often use Keep for very quick "sticky" notes. Just like Apple notes, the simplicity is underrated and is not bloated with other nonsense. Keep up the great videos!

@Riz_ Месяц назад

Have started using Google Keep more over the past couple of months or so. It's not bad actually. I like it's simplicity and the ability to collaborate so easily. I wish it worked a little better with Talkback on longer notes because if you are reading through a long note every time you return to it you are pushed back to the top again. I also wish we could have nesting notes or some kind of folder structure. The labels feature is not adequate enough for me.

You're right about labels, they're inadequate. It badly needs a folder structure. Labels limit of 50 is super inadequate!

@rayquazahjier8668 Месяц назад

My second most used app/service from Google (Gmail app/service being the most used one) Plus Keep made my life so much easier through the years, no matter my device I always had full access to it, no stupid eco system exclusive apps (looking at you Apple and Samsung) or subscriptions. Which makes me fear Google is going to kill it at some point, or change it so much it becomes bad and that in the end will kill it. Knock on wood they just leave it, it's such a great and complete product already.

@Journeyman4Love Месяц назад

It needs to become what Apple notes is. Right now it's not a one stop shop for all things document. Integrating Lens in keep for OCR, creating PDF, hyoerlinking notes, perhaps also mindmap templates and Google recorder for voice to text lectures, meetings etc. will help a great deal.

@hayyanalmemsani805 Месяц назад

For me the problem with it is that #1 the app doesn't remember where i left a particular note, so let's say i have a note that's a very long list, in samsung notes when i leave the note and re-enter it later the app takes me to where i left off in the list and i don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom from the top again, that's not the case with keep, every time i open the note it takes me back to the top. #2 the notes appear too big in the main menu The only thing that keeps me from switching to samsung notes is that keep syncs my notes to my google account which is important for me

@howardgoldberg2363 Месяц назад

I agree with all that you have said. I have also used Keep for 11 years since its inception. I have a ton of notes saved web pages, and RU-vid videos. I have so much that I can't get to them. Unlike Google Photos, one can not search or filter by Creation Date or Modified Date or filter a given month from past years. It takes forever to Page down or Cursor down in the Reverse Chronological Keep on a desktop(because you have to wait while the screen is redrawn -even on fast computers and fast internet speeds). Google could easily make date searches available like they have always done in Google Photos. While these dates exist for each note, Google hides access to them. I never understood why Google has refused to make these basic DATE features available. Until Google allows these basic date features, most of my Google Keep Notes are unavailable. Howard

@GhostDigital2k Месяц назад

Great video! The only reason I don't use Google keep is because it doesn't have a lock within the app. I like to lock certain notes with a password. Yes I can download app that would lock the whole app but I rather have it offered within the app like other note apps.

@mikldude9376 10 дней назад

I’m afraid I don’t share the glowing joy of using Google keep , I tried to like it and use it on and off for a couple of years on different devices mostly for a shopping lists , but some things just drove me mad about it . For a start as someone with big hands and fingers I always found the hit boxes too tiny and I couldn’t find anyway of separating apart or making them bigger. If I wanted to highlight a single line in the shopping list with a different color, I could not find a way to do it. Rearranging the order of items on a shopping list , I couldn’t find an easy way to do it without rooting around . In the end I went back to apple notes which is not perfect either , but I find it easier to use.

If you want to make pdf annotations you can upload the pdf to google books and highlight text and write notes for it there, and then it will make it into a google docs document for you.
