Ratings and reviews

It's half baked. The search feature is useless. Lists are shown as thumbnails, instead of showing the titles in a list, forcing you to scroll by a bunch of stuff to get to the list you want. You can't make home screen shortcuts to specific lists. Instead, you can only create widgets that take up a bunch of space. When you select a list by long pressing, you must reach to the top of your phone to press the "X" to deselect it. If you use the back button as one would usually do, it exits the app.

I've been using Google Keep for a while and appreciate its simplicity. However, I've noticed that it becomes quite crowded with many notes. Have you considered integrating AI to help categorize notes automatically? It could greatly improve user experience by organizing notes more efficiently. Are there any plans to incorporate such a feature in the near future?

I'm trying to use this app to create voice memos. If I use it with Google Assistant. It only adds the first 2 words of the memo even though it shows the full memo on the input screen. Then, if I try to use voice directly from the app from the mic icon. It says I need the Google App and click here to install it. It is installed and has been uninstalled and re-installed. Still says it needs to be installed.
