Ratings and reviews

Excellent app but is missing key features that in my opinion are a no-brainer. For example there is no ability to lock the app or a specific note with biometrics. Additionally, the app could use more customization options, i.e. a richer deeper color pallette beyond the pastels. Finally, a widget that is designed to look like a white board with sticky notes would be cool (for a little messy organized chaos). I love the app and would just love to see those enhancements.

Checking things off is horrible. You should be able to tap the line anywhere and have it check it off. Nope. If you don't hit the little check box then it puts you in text edit mode for that line and you can't exit it until you back out of the list and go back in. We only add items to the list from the Google home speaker, and do not manually type in the list ever. Gemini says there's a feature called read only mode, or locked, but those options are no where to be found.

Although it's not perfect, I use google keep the most because of the incredible search feature and it's simplicity. The extra step needed to start taking a note is dumb, especially since you can already do all of those things from the Text version. It's pointless. My biggest wish is that the character limit for individual notes be removed. I almost never exceed the limit, but when I do, it is a real pain! Keep it simple, but limitless.
