Ratings and reviews

I used to enjoy this app, I used it all the time for a daily to-do list and would schedule it to pop up in the mornings so I don't forget. Now for whatever reason whenever you schedule something, it automatically creates a separate copy to your Google calendar app. I only discovered this when on top of my notes app notification, I also got one on my calendar app, my desktop, my tablet, and my laptop all pinging notifications of the "planned event" You also cannot disable this feature.

Last Update made the reminder function unusable. By integrating the notifications into the calendar tasks, they are not actually showing the list, but a task that is created at the time of setting the reminder, which might not be identical to the contents of the note. Additionally, when setting a new notification for another date, it stops updating the text. Using a continuously updating to-do, will lead to old tasks showing instead of the ones that are actually in the note.

UPDATE FEB 13 - STILL NO FIX FOR THIS :( The enforced migration to Tasks to handle reminders has been disastrous for me. I relied heavily on them, and now I get none at all, though all notifications are enabled in my Tasks app. The Reminders tab also now misses some reminders off, and they're no longer in date order. Edits in Keep aren't reflected in Tasks and vice versa. And so on. What an astonishingly clumsy and error-ridden "solution" we're now expected to work with.
