Ratings and reviews

App is really simple to use, but it could be so much better. Needs to have password protection as an option, or a locked folder like Google Photos as I dont want all of them readily accessible - the only current option seems to be archive it to hide it from feed. Needs to have more formatting options. Need to be able to view multiple labels at once, not just one. Needs to be able to have a view where it's just the title only no note preview Would love to have the ability to add tables to notes.

Pro #1: Love this app! Pro #2: No adds. Con #1: After some time my keyboard is horrendously lagging on my android phone, choosing extra symbols all the time making typing literally impossible. This is a known issue as per my googling with no solution. Fortunately I type my notes on a laptop or samsung tablet instead. Con #2: No support for columns for correct spacing of vocab words.

I have been a daily user of Keep for years, but like many others I really hate the recent enforced synchronisation with Tasks / Calendar. The app is almost useless now as a system of reminders. I basically just use it as a notepad now. Then again, it isn't much use for that either these days, because for some reason the app has recently become incredibly slow and unresponsive when I'm inputting text. So it is on the verge of becoming completely useless to me. Time to look for an alternative.
