Ratings and reviews

Although it's not perfect, I use google keep the most because of the incredible search feature and it's simplicity. The extra step needed to start taking a note is dumb, especially since you can already do all of those things from the Text version. It's pointless. My biggest wish is that the character limit for individual notes be removed. I almost never exceed the limit, but when I do, it is a real pain! Keep it simple, but limitless.

I like the app a lot and have used it for years. Recently however the search function appears to be broken. When trying to search for key words, the app will not show results correctly. I have tested this on various notes and the success/failure rate appears to be random. Sometimes it can't find words in the title and sometimes it can't find words in the body of the note. Other times, it finds key words correctly in either title or body. If this is fixed, I'd give the app a solid 4/5 stars.

I love this app! The only thing I wish were different is being able to still see all original dates at the bottom of your note(s) instead of the date changing after even the smallest edit. Well, at least if you wanted the original date to stay the same, which could be an option. Also, I've "misplaced" a few notes after changing phones and reinstalling this app. However, it's one of THE best!!! Please... never add ads. Thanks! ☺️
