I like this app and use it a lot. I have vision issues however, and the android / Samsung S23 version fonts appear to be black with a white outline. This style is difficult for me to read on pastel colored notes. I wish I could choose font style, size and color to make it easier for me to read.

While I don't love the App, it is useful in most Situations! It's easy to use and it allows you to have Multiple Notes at Once! Down sides include not being able to Open Notes on other Devices (it's unclear if you actually can) and that The Organization of Notes Could be Better, like if one note is more Important than the One you Just Did, you have to Dig Around for that File and that Gets Annoying after a Few Months of off & on Notetaking!

This app no longer works!! Ever since about 4 months ago, the app has been constantly crashing on me. I can no longer even use the app as it's now proven to be disfunctional. I've tried everything to correct the problem, such as clearing the cache, updating to the latest app version, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Nothing has corrected the problem. I can't even access my notes now — let alone type a new one without the app crashing or getting jammed. Please help!!!

I've used this app for years. Suddenly, my widget stops working, so I delete it, intending to put it back, to see if it will start loading again. Then I realize the one I like is no longer available. In its place is the ability to pin only one note (instead of being able to scroll through them all) and the font is HUGE. Way bigger than the font in the note itself, with no way to change it that I can find. Please, put the old widget back, some of us relied on it.

Request: is it possible to add "Edit note" and "Save" button for each created note just like in Google Contacts app??? That way a note can not be accidently change or partially deleted by mistake unless the user chooses to do so. Understand there's an undo button exists; "Edit note" & "Save" button makes more sense 👍. Thanks for reading & considering.

*Update 11/24: This issue has been corrected, so I changed my rating fron two to four. I like it, but one major issue I have is that it will not always save my note if I go back and add to it. I cannot see a way to manually save it because if I pull down it will erase it. I have to copy what is in my note just in case it erases it so I dont have to start over. That is a problem that needs to be addressed. I will be looking for another notes app in the meantime.

For years all I had to do was tap once and start typing notes. Now I have to tap, then select "text" from a menu of stupid options like "drawing" and "lists" and other nonsense. All I wanted was a Notepad app to jot stuff down but Google insists on turning it into some kind of all-encompassing image editor/spreadsheet maker/Swiss army knife/Cat dewormer. Why do you ruin apps with 4.9 ratings that literally nobody is complaining about?!!!

Wish it had room for more characters. Also, the update introduced 4 options, text, drawing, list, & image. All was accessible previously. Now those using text have an extra step. It's unnecessary & either should be restored or Google Keep should let me keep text my default. Help me save time, don't add time. We lost efficiency for you to show off features that already existed. Unnecessary. Google's reply to a user to clear cache isn't an an answer. This is new, you should know your own product.

It was a decent app, UNTIL the 8/23/2024 update broke everything and caused SEVERE battery drain (it's STILL NOT fixed as of 10/31/2024)! I keep getting errors and the app wants to close often. This is VERY ANNOYING when I'm typing a lot and it won't save before the next "not responding" close message pops up. It's been affecting my widget too. Notifications haven't been working right either. In addition, I wish there was a way to manually save updates. Yes Google, I cleared my cache!

The last version of keep changed the ad note plus button at the bottom to make me click extra buttons to decide if I wanted a note that was not text. I only use text notes and will delete this app and find a competitor text note taking app if you bring that feature back. Please stop ruining your products and severely affecting your user's mental health.
