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.

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.

Excellent features are marred by lack of search/find capability inside a note. Makes it a showstopper sometimes. I am starting to use it more and more as a place to help me work on other things. I hope it can be kept simple and functional during this AI revolution and not suffer from bloat. It is most likely that every user has different objectives.
