Google Keep

Pros

You can instantly capture the texts in a screenshot you have recorded and print them in the note section.It works in an integrated way between your computer and your phone.

Cons

If you want to categorize your notes, it does not offer many possibilities.

Pros

I love that Google Keep is free and can be easily integrated with other Google suite softwares. It is easy to use to take quick notes and/or to create a to-do list with dateline reminders.

Cons

For my needs, there isn't any features about Google Keep that I dislike or am missing. I decided with Google Keep after having looking into several other softwares and am currently quite satisfied with it.

Reasons for Choosing Google Keep

Reasons for Switching to Google Keep

Pros

Keep is easy to use and launch to use especially when you are using the full suite of Google Services. You will be sure that your notes are kept and saved somewhere in Google Cloud.

Cons

No abilities to organize your notes by topics like other similar applications for example Evernote.

Pros

I can say that Google Keep is the ultimate note taking app, the interface is easy to use and intuitive. It is available as a web app and smartphone apps aswell. It synconize between the devices immediatly and the fact that you can add users as collaborators to notes makes a useful tool for every team.

Cons

The downside of Google Keep is that is unable to import and export the notes notes.

Pros

I like the fact that it has a nice interface. It's customisable too for different colours and it looks like little blocks on your dashboard.

Cons

I think there's needs to be some sort of structural feature introduced. At the moment, all the blocks are scattered everywhere and looks a little messy. It needs some folder or structural feature to organise the notes.

Pros

I like it because it has labels which help me to organize my work, just as I would with folders.
It is also easy to collaborate with other contacts by simply adding an email address to the note being edited.
The syncing speed is also perfect.

Cons

Google keep has no option to add a checklist within a note. If I do, all the notes become a checklist.

I would suggest that the checklist should not be entered as a separate entry but rather as a list within a typed note. It would be convenient that way.

Pros

It is simple and it does what it intended to do, for notes. I like the checklist where it shows a slashed text for the things that you already have done.

Cons

It is too plain looking. Putting a bit of design or feature will make this better.

Pros

It keeps me organized and is easy to use. The widget for homescreen is very helpful.

Cons

I would prefer the interface to be a little more vibrant and engaging.

Pros

Easy to add different types of notes and colour code them

Cons

It’s difficult to organise the notes if you have a lot of them and find the right one

Pros

Unlimited number of notes, sharing option, multiple media in one note

Cons

Can only assign 50 labels, doesn’t integrate with any other software outside of google services

Pros

Google Keep is simple making it fast to use. Sync is fast and works every time plus it work great across the entire Google workspace.

Cons

If you need a fully featured note app with every bell and whistle this might not be for you.

Pros

If you're looking for a note taking app, then Keep is the way to go. I've been using it for years and I have never been disappointed by it. It has a clean interface that is easy to use and an intuitive design that makes note taking fun...I'm just so glad it's free! Keep is the best free note taking app, hands down!

Cons

the checklist option can be improved. Currently it adds checklist in every line of the note, it should have an option to add checklist box in specific things, items or tasks.

Pros

It's mobile app is excellent. Especially with the widget on the home screen of the phone, I can easily jot down my thoughts on the go. The seamless syncing with the desktop integration is also useful. The dashboard and search are very good too.

Cons

Needs more features and tools to let us better organize notes. With too many notes, everything starts to look like a mess. So like if we can group multiple notes together then that would be great

Pros

Easy to use, practical and includes may funcitonalities for everyday life

Cons

There's nothing I don't like about Google Keep, for real

Pros

Google Keep is simple and light, I use it from long away and it's amazing.

Cons

I don't face any disadvantages or problems with Google Keep.

Pros

It is super fast to create a note and to have in all your devices. And it's free.

Cons

I don't like when I put a link in a note and google keep automaticaly creates a "bar" at the bottom of the note but also keeps the link in the middle of the text. I would be nice if you could select how you want you link to be displayed, like in Confluence.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

I can use it from anywhere and anyhow. Since it's connected to cloud, I can use it from any device and any place. We can add notes and check it whenever we want. I preferably use keep to write what I think or some ideas that spark in my mind that has to be written then and there or else I would forget about it later.

Cons

Nothing. I like how keep works and it's easy to use. There might be some new cool features can be added in future like ai bot or grammar and typo error checker.

Pros

I think the most useful feature for me is taking audio notes from my mobile. Also the organization of all the notes by projects and colors makes it very visual.

Cons

Any improvement in the on-screen presentation would be welcome.

Pros

-Easy to use-syncs with your google account-has colour coding and pinned notes-can be used on Desktop and Mobile view-can attach a photo or drawing to it-phone screen widget

Cons

-lacking in features to personalize the notes-limited ability for attachments to notes

Pros

tag for notes, sync in cloud, share option

Cons

the lack possible to draw in notes and the bad possible to add image

Pros

Best for making To do list.We can note the things whenever we remind especially for shopping.We can note the important meetings and can easily sync with calendar.Memories can be noted which i like the most.We can easily access from anywhere at anytime with our mail which keep our notes inerasably.

Cons

Image attaching options can be improved.

Pros

The best of Google Keep are: Easy of use, free and cloud sync for all devices.

Cons

The worst of Google Keep: The colaboration tools could be better and i wish it had multipurpose board.

Pros

Google Keep is the perfect all around note taking application that is based in the cloud and can be accessed on any computer or smart phone device. It stores very large notes, has terrific archival tools for unnecessary/older note threads and has so many customization options for anyone to enjoy for personal or organization reasons.

Cons

There has been known to be glitches from time to time (some have reported the cursor while on a phone to move to the bottom of the page), but overall it is very solid and easy to use.

Pros

I like check lists and drawing feauture. I like the pinning. Also coloring feature is so nice that I can apart my notes.

Cons

There is no timeline interface. It's interface too old. There is no ability to change fonts and size of texts. There is not enough integrability with other softwares.

Pros

I like the Google keep app because it's very convenient and it also allows me to take notes whenever I am in a urgent class or position.

Cons

Right now I find that there's nothing least about Google keep that I admire. Many of the features are beneficial.

Pros

For taking Note and making To do list, Google keep is very Easy well known solution.
Which is free and comes with google ecosystem.
Means i can easily use it and integrate with other google services for free.
Sharing also very easy here.
When i need to take notes of any activity, simply i go in keep and write it.
Real time synchronization is top notch,I can check from any devices from anyWhere.

Cons

Right now it free, so i Don't have any complain about it. But they can introduce some more custom modifications in files.

Pros

Google Keep is extremely easy to use because its functions are elementary. This is really an asset because I often only need a clean interface and some space to take notes on the go. Therefore, I like the simplicity and the ubiquity. In this sense, it is essential for me that Google Keep is a multiplatform tool, so I can see the notes taken on my phone while working on my computer and, then, redistribute into other apps/programs tasks, information, and reminders accordingly. I also enjoy labels a lot; they help me organize a space (my mind, my meetings) that is very chaotic and diverse by nature.

Cons

As I mentioned, simplicity is one of the best features of Google Keep, so I do not really miss any significant characteristic. Perhaps the app could benefit from some formatting options, such as italics, bold, and underlining, to make a more expressive use of it.

Pros

What I like most about Google Keep is its ease of use. When using Keep it is very easy to catch onto how to use it. The UI puts everything front and center, making it easy to find the most used features in every scenario.

I also love that Keep is available anywhere I have an internet connection. The app is on my phone, my iPad and my laptop.

Cons

What I like least about Google Keep is that it does not file notes into folders. Generally, folders can help create a cleaner UI , where as having every note show up on the main screen of the app can feel cluttered and overwhelming at times.

Reasons for Choosing Google Keep

Switched From

Reasons for Switching to Google Keep

Pros

The first thing that I like about Google Keep is that it allows me to make a much more complete note-taking, because this application allows me to insert images or videos in the note that I'm making at a specific moment, this helps the note be much more complete. Another thing that I like about Google Keep is that all the notes are stored in the Google cloud no matter how long it takes, for example, I can create a note and leave it there even more that five years, in the same way I will have access to that note wth all the information that was previously written, this is amazing since I can store information for a long time. I should also mention that I love the feature of adding tags to notes, because these tags help me find specific notes, I can add custom tags and it makes it so much easier for me to find notes for a specific topic.

Cons

The first thing I don't like about Google Keep is that in order to transfer one onf the previously described notes, you must transfer this note to Google documents, this way you can transfer a shared link to another person, it is not possible to transfer this note directly from the Google Keep app, and this is really annoying. Another thing that I do not like about this platform is that it is not possible to add a personalized design to the notes that you have written, you can only add a black backgroung or a white background to the notes, it is not possible to add your own design or a much more attractive design to the notes.

Pros

I use Google Keep for fast note-taking on the go. I often use the microphone to leave myself voice to text messages and reminders. This is by far my favorite feature. I also really like the instant sync with all of my devices. I can check my notes on all of my devices.

Cons

It doesn't have a lot of formatting options for note-taking.

Pros

My favorite thing about Google Keep is the ease with which new users can learn to use the platform proficiently. It's a very user-friendly application.

Cons

My least favorite thing about the software is that it's not Microsoft OneNote, therefore it doesn't integrate with OneDrive. Other than that simple problem, it's an excellent app.

Pros

There are many features that are great in Google Keep including multi device sync, quick add feature and the ability to add documents and files. The interface is really clean and minimal. Also, there are lot of good editing features.

Cons

I think multi user collaboration can be improved in Google Keep, it is still not usable and can be improved. Also, notes management and organisation can be improved. Features like tags and folders can be improved to improve the overall feature set.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Google keep is one of those pieces of software that you cannot live without if you are part of the Google ecosystem. It is integrated with all the other applications they offer and that makes everything so seamless

Cons

It's hard to really give this thing a con because it says right in the name Google notes it's created for taking notes and it does that perfectly. No matter where you take your note if you're connected to your Google account you'll be able to access that from anywhere. It's not the best when it comes to task management or project management but again that's not what the app is designed for

Pros

I love the simplicity of Google Keep and its synchronisation between all devices. Taking notes and making checklists is quick and easy. Finding previous notes takes seconds. Learning to use the functions is intuitive and similar to other Google tools.
I also value the visuality of the tool. incorporating images in the notes is useful.

Cons

The To-Do list function is simplistic. I would love to see integration with another Google tool - ToDoist.
I would also like to see an automatic date stamp on each note and when it was last updated. You could then choose to organise information by date.

Pros

The best part of it is it's very handy. You can easily make a copy and share your note. You have limited but colorful templates to give your notes a specific identity. It also has reminder and pin features. One can easily pin any important message. Uploading or clicking the image with your text is also a good characteristic. I love its recording feature. When I don't have time to write, I simply record it.

Cons

I want more colors and different formatting features and can group multiple notes under one heading.

Pros

Keep is best used for making short notes. Think of it as virtual Post-its. It's completely changed how I take notes. I put quotes in there for writing ideas. I post links to courses and references. I write meeting bullet points and agendas. One of the more useful features is you can include photos in your notes. On top of that, you can grab the image text. I found this very useful for capturing text from business cards. I also use the grab text feature to capture non-English characters, copy those and plug the phrases into Google Translate. Useful for translating names and places. Lastly, it's got Post-its beat because everything is searchable. Forgot the title? Pick a key word from what you remember and use search.

Cons

I had some syncing issues in the past where it refused to sync with one device. It was solved when I upgraded to a different phone. But, I didn't really find out what was going on there.

Pros

Keep is dead simple. Write a note, maybe make it a list or add a picture. No learning curve, no saving, no files or folders. You can add colors or labels if you like, but what I love most is the powerful search built in that instantly brings up one of my hundreds of notes, even archived ones. I do use the colors as well with a pretty deep system of categories, but I ran out of colors for new categories a long time ago because of the limited number of choices.

Cons

Keep drives me crazy. New features are very rare. You can't even do rich text formatting! Lists are totally inflexible other than simple indentation for a pseudo subtask motif.

Pros

Awesome when it comes to keeping easy track of notes/ tasks. It's just very simple to have a specific tab in the browser for G-Keep and go there anytime to add notes. The different Tags are also great for organizing the note types. Very convenient as well to assign tasks/ notes to people and/ or collaborate.
The synced mobile app is also very nice and easy to utilize (btw, great voice-recognition feature for on-the-go voice-based notes creation).

Cons

Not very convenient if you need to document large stuff/ extensive notes.

Pros

I love the fact that I can access my notes from anywhere by logging into my gmail. Its easy to make notes which can be checked when finish. Great for supermarket, though I mainly use it to create a list of new words that I am learning with meanings which I can share with anyone at anytime.

Cons

The only con I found is that the colors available for each note is limited. I wanted each category of note to have its own color but that wasn't possible based on this limitation.

Pros

I keep using Google Keep for the easy access. I'm logged into my Google account on nearly every device so the notes sync and stay with me. If I were with another product I would need to go through another log in process before I could open my notes. One click share through the Gmail integration.

Cons

I don't see any cons that give me pause. A premium or professional version would be interesting to try.

Pros

Google Keep, like most Google products, is focused on accessibility and simplicity. Google Keep is clean, organized, and easy to use. With just a few simple clicks, a variety of "notes" can be taken. Keep functions very well as a simple notepad, but creating checklists, organizing notes, adding media, and customizing notes are all extremely simple and easy as well. Add in the ability to collaborate, share, and tag other users in notes and this makes for a really impressive tool.

Cons

The struggle with Google Keep is that if it is heavily used, the home screen or dashboard gets pretty cramped and messy. Notes can be rearranged, sorted, and filtered, but that doesn't change the fact that the dashboard can look and feel like an overcrowded bulletin board with messy sticky notes all over it.

Pros

Google Keep is a digital notepad that works best for capturing ideas, simple to-dos, and reminders in the moment. It is simple, allows to color-code during-note text and sync everything between my devices. It is like a sticky note for every thought, always accessible.

Cons

It is great for taking quick notes, but it lacks advanced features you may find in more fully-featured note-taking apps such as rich text formatting or detailed organization options.

Pros

Google Keep is my place of ideas, to-dos and reminders. Creating notes, lists and voice memos are effortless in the app, but I have been enjoying the color coding and labeling options for organization. The way things sync across devices is so seamless that I am never going to lose track of my thoughts.

Cons

It is great for simple note-taking, but it may lack advanced features such as rich text formatting or advanced task management features that some will want.

Pros

The best thing about Google Keep is that it's very easy to use and just right for quick notes. I can use it from my phone and computer, which is great. Plus, with the labels, it keeps me organized when my brain looks like a mess.

Cons

I don't love the fact that Google Keep doesn't have folders, and everything is kinda thrown into one big pile, making it very hard to keep things organized. I wish to be able to put them in folders so it looks neater.

Pros

It offers the basic idea of an online notebook and the tools remain relevant due to cross device sync & compatibility.

Cons

It is too compartmented with boxes and a lack of design tools that allow for individual choice of tools, missing out on handwritten items and designs.

Pros

It synchronizes among different devices and different accounts in a blink of an eye.

Cons

The dashboard where you see all of your lists can definitely be better. It is very hard to find the right list if you have more than seven or eight lists.

Pros

Easy to use and convenient to collaborate. It's offers versatile type of media notes like texts, images and tables as to do list. One thing here to mention is color coding, you can make the important categories color wise.

Cons

A little improvement inside table checklist to be incorporated here. Other things are fine and I don't think any thing is lacking.

Pros

I mostly loved the simplicity of use and and it's productivity. Keep delivers what it promises.
Keep is also responds quickly at every stroke or click.
It is also an honestly free applacation, compatible with almost almost all android gadgets.
It is used by many and usage doesn't make one feel lonely.
It has a collaboration feature where users can have common access to files and assigned tasks, a very handy feature for family or office workers at small scale.
Labels or tags can be added to make work more organised.
It also handles other emails better than others hosts.
Keep address lows the user to have multiple accounts and swap them with ease.

Cons

From the time I started using this app, I have not faced any serious challenge, otherwise, solutions were always made quickly with the frequent updates.

Pros

So easy to use this app. The transfer of data between other Google softwares is what really makes this software worth using. Lots of great templates and tools that can be utilized to your advantage. The price is hard to beat as well. Using it with Gmail is so easy and efficient as well.

Cons

There is a little bit of a formatting limitation in some aspects, but nothing that would make it "not worth" using, so to speak. There is also no offline access, but that's not a dealbreaker.

Pros

Google Keep is very user friendly and easy to get familiar with using. Being able to easily integrate with other Google platforms is beneficial and there are some features such as, check lists, labels, and the ability to add collaboratiors that enhance the user experience and capabilities.

Cons

The only thing I feel would result in drastic improvement of Google Keep is if there were more features and customizations. Added color/background options, fonts, and dashboard structure options along with the ability to have both check lists and plain text within one note would be great additions.
