Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The most notable positive feature of Google Keep is its ease of use and streamlined design. With its easy-to-use interface, you can effortlessly capture your ideas, thoughts, and reminders in various formats such as text, voice, images, or drawings. This means you can capture your ideas as they occur to you, whether you're on the go or at your desk. In addition to its ease of use, this platform has a host of organizational features that allow you to keep your notes in order. With Google Keep, you can create lists, checklists, labels, and colors to categorize your notes, making it easy to find the information you need quickly. The platform also allows you to access your notes from any device, thanks to its synchronization with your Google account, which means that you can start working on your notes on your phone and finish them on your computer. Google Keep's advanced features also make it a great productivity tool. The platform allows you to set reminders based on time or location, so you never forget important tasks or events. For example, you can set a reminder to pick up groceries on your way home from work, and Google Keep will send you a notification at the designated time or place. Google Keep is its collaboration feature, which allows you to share your notes with others and invite them to edit or comment on them. This makes it easy to collaborate on projects or share information with colleagues or family. Plus, Google Keep is free with no ads or in-app purchases. It also offers unlimited storage space for your notes, as long as you don't exceed the 15 GB limit of your Google Drive account. This means you can store as much information as you need without worrying about running out of space. Also, Google Keep is part of the Google suite, which means you don't need any additional software or subscription to use it.
  • Google Keep has a simple and intuitive user interface, making it easy to quickly take notes and create to-do lists. It is available on the web, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices, making it accessible from anywhere. It also integrates with other Google services, like Google Calendar, making it easy to keep track of tasks and appointments. It allows users to add images, voice memos, drawings, and tags to their notes, making them more expressive and organized. It has a powerful search feature that can find notes by keywords, tags, colors, or even text on images. Supports collaboration and sharing of notes with other users via email or a link. It syncs across all devices automatically and you store notes securely in the cloud.
  • One of the main reasons why I use this Notes manager is the ease of being able to read the notes and to be able to order them in my own way. It is very practical as Google Keep keeps the notes in order and in a very pleasant way for the user and making it easier to find the desired note. In addition, it is not very difficult to start creating notes OR lists from this application since you only have to click on a box to start writing the notes or list, you can also make notes by hand, this would be very useful if you want take notes on a tablet. It has a labeling function in order to be able to locate the notes more easily depending on which label has been answered. You can also find all the notes in a general way on the main screen of the application. So it is very practical to be able to manage the notes within this application and also to be able to assign labels for their practical location and grouping. Since it is from Google, it is easy to synchronize notes with the calendar and even more so the pending tasks in order to have control and management of the activities to be done. In addition, this note can be sent to another user who uses Google in order to assign tasks with the lists in a quick, easy and simple way. The notes are very personalized, you can choose various colors, you can embed audio, images, in addition to making manual annotations and being able to integrate voice dictation and added to this the recorded audio. So there are many practical ways that you can store a note within Google Keep. You can create reminders for each note or each list so when you want to remember to make a specific list that has been created it will be very easy for this platform to notify you when it is the day to complete a list or to read the note that has been left. This being practical within my company since there are many tasks that I have to perform daily or weekly and thanks to this platform I have been able to remember practically everything I have to do within my company.
  • Google Keep is an ideal platform to be able to carry out all kinds of note-taking in a simple way. I really liked that this platform allows you to store a large number of notes at no cost, since the general platform has no additional costs, which It allows me to store any type of notes in an unlimited way, share them with my work team or store them for many years without having to pay anything additional. I also liked that this platform allows me to insert all types of images or videos directly into any of my notes, I can insert any type of image that I have stored on my device, but you can also insert images through any direct link, as well as I can insert Videos from my device or from any direct link. I also liked that this platform that allows me to store the notes that I no longer need, is a trash can, this trash can is quite functional and beneficial for any type of user, since every time I delete a note, it is stored there for 30 days. In this way, you can easily recover any note that is deleted by mistake. This is a very beneficial and fast way to recover any type of note if the 30 days have not passed. I also liked that this thing only allows me to add participants or collaborators for each of the notes that I am preparing, these functions are very important and I want to build a note from scratch with the collaboration of the work team, since we can work online and edit the same note simultaneously.
  • Google Keep has been a very important platform when it comes to saving all our notes and writing them from scratch. The main feature that I like about this platform is that it is capable of storing all the notes indefinitely, this means that each of the notes that I have written and stored within this platform can be stored for many years, it is a positive factor since it allows me to store written information in a simple way, also, what I like about this platform is that it allows me to add labels to each one of the notes that I store, these tags are really useful when looking for a specific note, I can filter notes depending on the tags or the information I'm looking for, for example, I can create custom tags for social media notes, or Finance notes, and when I need to search for some finance information, I can filter the notes by that tag that I have previously placed. The second feature that I liked about this platform and I think it is the most influential feature is that this platform allows me to add collaborators to each of the notes that I am writing, this is great since I can paste and write a note in conjunction with the collaboration of my colleagues, for example, I can create a note and add two participants as collaborators, those participants will be able to modify the note in real time and I will see the modifications in real time, so this is a really useful feature for when I want to write a note together and I want the participation of my colleagues.

Cons

  • The main disadvantage of Google Keep is its basic nature and limited features. With a limit of 20,000 characters per note, a tag limit of 50, and no support for text formatting or hierarchical structure, Google Keep may not be suitable for users who require a more sophisticated note-taking application. If you need to make notes or complex documents, Google Keep may be insufficient and lacking in functionality. Another problem with Google Keep is its search and sort capabilities. Unlike other note-taking apps, Google Keep doesn't have an in-app search bar, so you have to use your device's or browser's global search feature to find your notes. Also, you don't have a way to sort your notes by date, title, tag, or color, which can make it difficult to locate specific information quickly. You have to manually organize your notes or use filters to find what you need, which can be time consuming and inefficient. Google Keep also has some security and privacy issues that users should be aware of. Since you are connected to your Google account, your notes can be accessed by third parties or used by Google for advertising purposes. This means that if you store sensitive information in the app, such as passwords or financial data, it may not be secure. Also, Google Keep doesn't have a desktop client or offline mode, so you need an internet connection to access your notes. This can be inconvenient if you need to access your notes in an area without an internet connection.
  • Google Keep only allows users to categorize notes using tags and archive completed items, so some users may find it difficult to keep their information organized. It doesn't support rich text formatting or Markdown syntax, so users can't customize the appearance of their notes or add links, tables, or other elements. It doesn't have desktop apps for Windows or Mac, so users have to rely on the web app or browser extensions to access their notes on a computer. It has a weak web clipper that can only save the title and URL of a web page, not the full content or selected text. It has no access restrictions or encryption options for shared notes, so users need to be careful who they share their notes with and what they write on them.
  • There should be a function which allows you to split the notes between pinned notes and recent notes, this would be very handy because if I have pinned notes and there are a lot of notes there would be a problem with the new notes not being clear as I would have to download to be able to get to the new notes that are clear to us and this is not practical at the end of the day. Well, this would be solved very well if there was a section at the top somewhere where you can have easy access or shortcut to pinned notes and recent notes. It should ask every time a change is going to be reviewed or have an option that asks every time a change is going to be made to each note or list, since it has happened to me several times that I have wanted to see a note in detail and accidentally move some list or change words inside the Notes accidentally. Although a backspace option is available, sometimes it doesn't work at all, because if I'm editing a note and accidentally deleted something, it usually takes steps further back than it should, which shouldn't happen, but I would have to do it step by step, besides the steps back are very limited so you have to be careful what you edit. You should create your folders for the notes in order to facilitate the storage of each one, as well as if it were a notebook. Similar to this, the subtasks of each note are not very intuitive since it is very difficult to hit each annotation to be able to put it as your task and also you cannot put a task inside your task. Voice notes are very practical within this platform since if I don't need to write I can make a note through voice and automatically convert it to text, however, the text is not so perfect as it tends to make mistakes in the process. time of writing. I think that if it will be integrated with another voice writing platform or with other keyboards, this problem could be solved, such as using the iOS keyboard with its voice dictation in order to have the notes in a more readable text.
  • One of the main features that I don't like about Google Keep parties is that this platform does not allow me to have extensive customization of each of the notes that I have been preparing. It is in a good way, it does not allow me to add a personalized background to each of the notes that I am preparing, which causes the general customization of each one of the notes to be very limited, in addition, another of the features that I did not like is that the Google Keep interface is not customizable either, it has a very basic interface both in its web version as well as the version for mobile devices. In addition, I also did not like that this platform has irregularities when it is integrated with the Google Calendar service, on some occasions the notes that have been linked to specific dates within Google Calendar are not displayed correctly, for which I do not recommend that it be used this integration system, since it is not as precise and is not able to show all the notes that have been linked to specific dates. Those are the only negative things I don't have about the platform, as I think it has a lot of potential and it helped me a lot to build a note from scratch. I really hope this platform improves those negative features to be much more perfect.
  • The main negative feature of this platform is regarding its design, the design used in the web version, the version for computers and the version for mobile devices is quite basic, and the only way to change it is by activating the dark mode within these versions, however, it is not possible to change or customize the general design of the platform to suit the user, since this platform does not have any function to be able to modify the general color of the platform or its design, nor does it have some function to modify the type of view of the stored notes. Another of the negative characteristics of this platform is that it does not have a backup system, despite the fact that this platform has a built-in trash can function that is capable of saving all the information deleted by the user, currently there is no type of of backup for the stored notes, that means that if for some reason I have deleted the trash or permanently deleted a note within the platform, you cannot recover it to a previous version. The last negative thing about this platform is that it currently does not have an optimized synchronization between devices, therefore, the information that I have written from the version of my mobile phone, can be viewed in the version for computers and the web version after a few minutes, the changes, and the notes made on my mobile device take some time to be reflected in the web version and the version for computers, it is not in real time.
