Ratings and reviews

Keep is simple and reliable... but actually too simple. It needs a feature to alphabetize the contents of a list. And searching the contents of a note to locate a word within it is a basic trivial function which is also missing. Collaboration is good... nice and flexible to be able to share a note with anyone, and/or with one's family group... that's why I still use this despite its glaring shortcomings.

I liked the notes better on my old phone. I don't like that when I set up a check list, my checked off items just disappear. I wish the checked items would just looked crossed through or a lighter color text. it gives a sense of accomplishment, seeing what got done, rather than worrying if I just erased my to do list (I use it daily at work so I use the same list daily)

I use Google Keep A LOT and have saved MANY notes over the past decade - some are quite long. So it's very frustrating when I search my notes for a specific word and it gives me all the notes that contain that word, BUT when I open each note, the word doesn't remain highlighted. That makes it VERY HARD to find. It needs to keep the searched word highlighted in each note or at least allow me to search within each of those notes again and let me jump to each highlighted occurrence in that note.
