Very good but needs improvement So if i have 10 tags then i have to add 10 widgets to see them all? I don't think it's the best solution. Why don't you add an option to change the tags in the widget? Refer wunderlist widget for this. Will be much better if we can add notes directly on the widget without opening the app. And i really don't like the reminders coming on top. Ability to add collaborators to tags would be a great feature in my opinion. password protection needed and the page is too small to draw something.

Semi useful. 1 mod could easily 5 star it No issues; just lacks features that could make it ultra useful. Add ability to have lists within lists: main title Restaurants, 1st main bullet is The Nomnom Restaurant with check boxes for things you want to eat, and the 2nd main bullet is The Grubbery Restaurant with check boxes for things you want to eat, and then 3rd main and so on. I think GTasks has this.

Sub lists please I've tried lots of task apps,I didn't like any of them. This one is simple but effective. Gentle reminders you can set for a time or a location. The location option is cool, how often would you like to be reminded about something when you get to a place instead of the time you think you'll be there. Only thing I would like next would be to make sub lists under other lists. Love the new way to set location alerts, way easier. Keep up the great work!

Limited Labels I use it for my daily thoughts and organization. It's a lovely intuitive app, but the best function "labels" is limited. That's a no-go and nonsense. If that mad mistake is fixed and if they make it possible to highlight or underline words within the notes they shall have a 100 stars.

Great note taking app I want to suggest an option in UI when long clicking an item only options that appear are of coloring, label and reminder. While other options remain buried in three dots. Can you please give us option to add new options to to bar as I mostly use delete and I have to do an extra step to delete a reminder. Or add delete and archive option to the top bar.

Love it! Evernote replacement After Evernote made some not so friendly user changes and become too bloated, I moved to Keep. Love it! Layout, options, checklist for shopping is fantastic. I easily make notes on the desktop and update via my phone. Keep it simple, keep it awesome!📱 💻 😁❤️

Some serious issues need addressing This app has some serious issues, the main one is that your notes do not save properly when the phone has problems connecting to the internet. Does Google really need to base everything on the principle that everyone has seamless internet access at all times? If your phone has internet (mobile network or wifi) access problems, you risk loosing the text you entered into the note as the save option doesn't work properly. Also, first letter of a new item on the list is usually missing on first input.

السيد عبدالله September 16, 2016

No option to reverse or undo changes If i do mistake to already saved note, i can't undo it or discard the changes and also it need a passcode to open it as it might have a secret notes we want to keep it away from others.

Carye James Adelante September 26, 2016

This app is good.. But i hope you could update other notes to be not editable(in means of date).. What i mean is, aside from todo lists.. I wish i could save notes just like a diary or a journal.. I want to track my everyday life.. If you know what i mean..

Charlie Beausejour September 16, 2016

Have been using it for a while. Find no problems with it! Easier to use than others I've found. I especially like that I can save events for future use and that present ones show up in my Google calendar listing! That's what makes a difference to me!

Brian Dickson September 15, 2016

Bad update An update or two ago introduced the auto-fill feature. If I hit the touch back button on my s7 edge to exit a list I'm creating and the auto fill pop up list is up, it only closes the pop up list. The problem is the pop up sometimes opens back up immediately. So in order to back out of the list, I have to hit the back button 2-3 times in quick succession to exit out. The back button is fairly universal among apps for its functionality, shouldn't be forced to use the back button on the screen.

RAJIV JOSHI September 15, 2016

UNDO action is must Facing so many problems while doing copy and paste. Sometimes lose my text and unable to get it back. So please give undo option in control panel. Help me.

Sheik Johirul Hoque Jewel September 13, 2016

Undo/Redo option or revision history requested I love this app. It would be great for me if Redo/Undo option or revision history (like google sheets) is added. Sometimes I lost some information by mistake but can't revert or retrieve the information.

Valerie AstroZombie September 13, 2016

Like it, needs improvement I would like to see some dark themes! Otherwise fantastic. Recently Google has been auto correcting me with my words on this app. It's infuriating, please do something. I keep having to read and reread stuff to make sure it's okay...

Matt Wojciak September 12, 2016

On Android, flawless. On iOS, crashes. This app has crashed on several occasions on iPhone 5s running latest iOS 9.3.5 (don't remember if it crashed on earlier iOS revisions)

Helen Segebarth September 13, 2016

Useless Useless as items edited, added or deleted on phone do not change on other devices despite phone updating. Totally hopeless. Avoid! Would give zero stars if possible.

gatchi medina September 13, 2016

Simple and best app. The only problem is that Sometimes when i try to edit txt sometimes it wont save so i have to type it again. It will help if you guys can add the "undo" or the "save" option that would be great.

frank G September 13, 2016

Never saves!! Everytime I write down a new list or note the app never saves it! When I go back and add something to my note it's not to there, it's annoying!

Amit Chopra September 15, 2016

I feel for better sorting folders or booklets option should be there. Something like Drive or Gmail. I know tags are there but this would make it much easier to sort. I am surprised this has not been implemented yet. Or maybe I am missing something.

Howard Posener September 13, 2016

Nearly there But once you have a few notes still difficult to navigate. All it needs is an option for a horizontal list view that shows the heading (plus an option to see one or two lines of the notes.) At the moment you can only see 8 notes per page.. List view would show 20 plus .

Ahmed Elsayed September 26, 2016

Synchronization It's not synchronized with the desktop app. If i remove or merged two notes, I found nothing changed in the desktop copy.

Izaiya Carter September 14, 2016

Such a fantastic app! Some things to add: more note colours, crop option when inserting pictures, another layout on the home page (how the notes are layed out)

Mike Feldmeier September 15, 2016

Used to be great, now useless This used to be a fantastic app, but like most of their products, Google has made it useless by taking out core functionality without thinking. Hide Checked was a required feature for long lists of recurring items like shopping lists, yet now you have to view dozens of items along with the ONE that is actually checked. This actually goes against their own design philosophy. Now that's one less Google product I'm using.

Mingi Gail September 14, 2016

Easy to use but need Undo function This is a great note app but I wish there is an undo function because if I deleted some words and click the back button I can't bring back the lost words since it was already deleted so I wish you will add undo button. Also please arrange the notes according to latest date (when you edit the note again) or in alphabetical order. Thank you!

Jayendran Ramani September 15, 2016

Well implemented, and keeps getting better Onmipresent and indispensable! Would help if Google took some crud off the app though. Currently, it's heavy, given the nature of the app.

Abdulhameed Al-Nafjan September 12, 2016

Can't share images Since the last 4 or 5 updates, I couldn't share any images to my keep account from any other files. It only shares the texts but not images. I have to go to my Keep account and extract the image from my galary to keep but not vice versa. You get to do something to fix this serious issue

Roman September 14, 2016

great app this great team has brought us tons of features we can use so simply, they should replace Google Android Maps app team, G+, Hangouts and Android Play app incompetent teams full of under educated "designers"

Andris Didrichsons September 16, 2016

It would be nice if lists could be sorted, eg alphabetically or checked/ complete vs unchecked/ not complete. Otherwise I still use ColorNote for my grocery and shopping lists. I like that I can add, amend lists on my desktop, too. And that lists can be archived instead of just deleted

Jac L September 13, 2016

Good app. Very easy to use, and great for keeping my To-Do lists synced across multiple devices and shared with my partner. Would be better if we could have sub task lists and perhaps the ability to allocate a due date for individual tasks rather than dating the whole list. But overall really useful app.

mh al September 24, 2016

Features pack, but difficult to master Good features and fulfill most note takers out there, but difficult to operate. Stil Confusing to use this tool

Rain Awareness September 15, 2016

No night mode/previews too large It has no night mode, and I wish I could just get rid of notes previews because they make you scroll extensively when you've got a lot of notes, and you're gonna click on them anyway

Utkarsh Mishra September 15, 2016

its awesome but please add security feature please add lock pin as we store important details and in case phone gets lost, we will be in trouble. Hope you consider it

Sam Mcgorry September 15, 2016

Decent app, need ability to set default date I've been caught out too many times by the fact the reminder date is set to tomorrow by default, but otherwise very decent.

Darren Jackson September 13, 2016

Useful, Simple Useful app, but really quite simplistic in its features; probably fine for a lot of users. Personally I'm exploring Trello as a richer app with greater depth of functionality.

Kunal Sarkar September 13, 2016

Forced Ads? I opened the App and Boom a Video Ad for Google Duo, what? Inserting ad everywhere? Behaving like Crappy 3rd party apps huh Google? Plz don't. (Although I downloaded Duo)

Zakir Şıxlı September 12, 2016

Very useful, Awesome App. My Guesses: 1. Sorting by color, label, date and save-restore custom sorting. 2. Voice recording has to be offline. 3. Rich text formatting (html codes) (b, i, u, color etc.)

Doris Latimore Johnson September 13, 2016

Used often as simple checklist Most often I use Keep to create preparation checklists. In a note, I can quickly think out a packing list, a grocery list or outline an agenda. If I set a basic reminder, I check items off in the keep note directly. Sometimes I want a reminder to review a story idea. I set reminder that delivers note's content in an email. ... I could start using Google's Inbox app to have the Keep note labeled to a category named Story Ideas or a specific story's name?

Derick Addo September 13, 2016

Good Very intuitive and good for taking notes, what I like about it, is how you can synchronize works across devices. My special request, update it with Mind mapping tools to make it a one stop tool. 4 star for now, with the mind map tools update you would have the full 5 star. But still thumb ups to Google.

Alessandro De Martino September 18, 2016

Useless on android wear It won't vibrate on your wrist at the designated time, which defeates the purpose completely.

Artie VanDelayo September 12, 2016

Great, but bkup in case Google cancels like past products(?) I backup occasionally just in case. I want to believe Google won't decide to cancel it.. I also really like its twin app, Color Note, which Keep was based on.
