Ratings and reviews

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 really love using keep, they changed a feature on me tho. I used to be able to open a new note in one click that would automatically let me start typing. Now I have to specifically open a new text file as opposed to a image or drawing or list, which I rarelt use. I'd give it five stars if that feature came back or there was an option to turn it back to the previous implementation.

Updated review (Nov 2024) STILL the best note taking App EVER! Simple, fast, shareable, super fast, can convert to Google Docs, add labels for efficient organization of notes!! Can you add a way to "LOCK" a single note (so I or the person I'm sharing with cannot easily delete it or accidentally edit) and thanks for the font options!! Bold, Italics, etc are excellent on mobile device!
