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.

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.

Handy to have a way to make quick notes when out, remember things I'm told or need to check out later. So far, so good, easy to use but not sure how I'd export or back up, safely or otherwise, to use elsewhere or if phone packed up, as my last one has just done. I'd be happier about making big documents or essential notes if I could share it with an external drive.
