Ratings and reviews

This is probably one of the easiest note taking apps to use and would be my note taking all of choice if it had just a few minor tweaks. Developers please an "edit mode" that lets you move the tasks up and down on a checklist note instead of auto hold down or delay the time to activate by 1 second. Also please allow non-checkbox items under the checklist tasks so they can have titles for nested checklists that's where an edit function might be useful. Also, some font colors would be nice.

I've loved the app for so long, especially because I can retrieve notes I wrote even 10 years back. Its definitely been a true life saver. However, I would love to see a [bold]ing feature for text, to create subheadings for instance. It could help organise thoughts even better. Another issue I've recently experienced is the colors of notes changing dramatically since moving from iPhone to android. I don't think this app should have less quality output on an android system though. Its surprising

I love Google Keep but it hasn't had any new features added in a while and could really do with a couple of simple updates to make it so much better... Like - can labels act like they do in gmail? So they can be colour coded and multiple notes can be added to a label at once and labels can be dragged onto notes (rather than the slow, clumsy menu based method at the moment). Add those and I'll be a very happy, 5-star user!
