Ratings and reviews

I love this app. It's very simple to use. I especially like how I can verbally update my list through Google Home. It's super convenient. Two things on my wishlist: 1)the option to easily move things from one list to another (Maybe by being able to open up two lists at the same time?) 2) that photos went below the checklist instead of above, or the option to choose. Being able to reorganize your photos by dragging would be a dream come true.

Feels like a very neglected app by Google. After all these years, the ability to format text within the notes was finallt added (9/2023). A little too late for me as I switched to Notebook a few months. Better UI, more customization and formatting options, separate notebooks with cover designs, sorting, etc. I still use this to jot down a quick thought or paste some text but that's about it. My final note and anything I want to save goes in the other app.

I've used the app for a few years now and really loved it mostly because it will always be linked to my Google account and I'll never lose a note again. BUT, the app needs some real attention and refinement. The list order button could use more sorting options. The ability to change colors of each note. Also be able to create folders, or tabs to group notes into one area without having to see them all mixed back together. Definitely need the ole' android 13* spit and polish.Google is outoftouch!
