What users love
Speed and simplicity for short notes and lists
No clutter: open and write immediately — perfect for quick thoughts, to-dos, and shopping lists
Keep is best for quick, simple notes like lists and reminders.
Very good. Keep is best for quick, simple notes like lists and reminders.
I use item lists in Keep Notes EVERY day!
Notes sync across all your devices
Notes are tied to your account, not your phone — they open seamlessly on phone, tablet, and laptop
Easy to use. I like the different formats that are available. I love that it saves and gets backed up, so you can access it from other devices.
it's easy to use and sync with any device
Very helpful
Checklists and shopping lists with checkboxes
Checking off items is satisfying; the shopping list is a fan-favorite use case
I use item lists in Keep Notes EVERY day!
Great app for keeping multiple lists of all kinds.
it's useful but it has a bug when checked off items pop back up on the list. also the widget is personally the best feature of this app because it's great for reminders but they waste so much space in the margins and double spacing the text that it really takes away from its usefulness.
Color and background options for notes
Colored notes and backgrounds help users instantly recognize their lists at a glance
Never an issue, no complaints! -Only- request is adding a few more color choices for the pages ---- edit, (6.15.26) When will we see new color palettes or background note options? Another tone of yellow, blue, ectectct would be nifty
excellent
nice 👍🏻
Images can't be placed within a note's body
Screenshots, photos, and documents can be stored alongside notes
When creating a dock and adding an image, it doesnt let you control where to add the image. Instead, it automatically adds it to the top part of the document and there is no way to move it anywhere in the document
hanya sekedar nulis note aja suka force close? ga masuk akal bikin males nulis panjang
Very handy app. I do however wish that I was able to lock it.
Note organization: labels, colors, pinning
Labels, color-coding, and pinning keep different lists clearly separated
have used this app for years. very reliable keeps me organized highly recommend.
easy to use and access
absolutely love this app. i have all of my lyrics in 1 folder, workouts in another. it keeps my notes separate however i need them.
Home screen widget
The widget is considered the app's best feature and is great for reminders
it's useful but it has a bug when checked off items pop back up on the list. also the widget is personally the best feature of this app because it's great for reminders but they waste so much space in the margins and double spacing the text that it really takes away from its usefulness.
Excellent⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
super 😍
What users hate
Checkbox bug: checking one item unchecks the one next to it
Check the third item and the second one unchecks itself — makes keeping a proper list impossible

I can actually put my video ideas
please provide lock or security lock support in this application
No in-note text search
There's no way to find a word inside a long note or list — no Ctrl+F equivalent, just manual scrolling
note is good but when we listen any audio then no audio can adjust
very good
The app is great, but I hope future updates will allow users to choose a background image for notes from their gallery, not just from the images displayed in the app.
Lag and stuttering when typing in long notes
Large notes trigger input delay, freezes, and CPU overload warnings
It gets really laggy when you reach 10k words and more. can't you do something about that?
note is good but when we listen any audio then no audio can adjust
It does what you need it to.
Reminders moved to a separate Tasks app and Calendar
Reminders used to live inside notes; now they're tied to Calendar and Tasks — notifications don't fire, data doesn't update
This used to be a great reminder app. Then a recent update made it sync with my Google Calendar and now any reminders appear from my Calendar not Keep. This wouldn't be a problem if, when I update the reminder in Keep it automatically updates the Calender version, but it doesn't! So I now have reminders that aren't current. Annoying. I'll be off soon to find a better app
wow
Great alongside the rest of the suite. Needs more flexibility with attaching things from share screens though
New lightbulb icon replaced the familiar notepad
The new icon looks like a smart-home lamp app — users confuse it and can't find it on their home screen
A light bulb as an icon for notes?! Huh? Should have been a pencil. Weird.
Incredible way to keep all the thoughts, quick bullet points, and files organized in a digital fashion!🤓🧠
Good, no bs
No password or PIN lock for notes
Individual notes and the app itself can't be locked with a password or PIN; users want a private folder
nicee good app...just ek privacy folder bhi lekar aao ismai
Best. Simple dan mudah untuk diuruskan.
keep notes is very useful aap
Text formatting: color, highlights, font sizes
Users want to change font color and size, and highlight key lines in different colors — like Apple Notes
useful 💕
this is a must app. it clearly tracks the personal todo things. I have been using since 5 Years it's a must app, it's on my home screen now
It's a good app, but what pisses me off about it is that I can't move my notes within labels when I'm trying to arrange them. It's very annoying
New UI feels slower and worse than before
After the update, responsiveness dropped, pinned notes look narrow, the font is tiny, and there's no way to revert
New update has made the interface very slow in terms of responsiveness and typing.
Excellent⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

No export or backup for notes
There's no direct export to text, Office, or PDF, and no straightforward way to transfer data between accounts
😊
Awesome
I WANT THE ORIGINAL VERSION BSCJ. YOU HAD NO BUSINESS CHANGING IT ON NE
Built-in AI is unwelcome
Users don't understand why AI was added to a notes app, and suspect it's corrupting their entries
Great alongside the rest of the suite. Needs more flexibility with attaching things from share screens though
bhut badhiya app he bhi
Really like this app. find it so easy to make and create notes.
