## What is Google Keep?

• Capture, edit, share, and collaborate on your notes on any device, anywhere.
• Add notes, lists, photos, and audio to Keep.
• Organize your notes with labels and colors.
• Set and forget. Get reminded about a note at the right time or place.
• Record a voice memo and have it automatically transcribed.
• Grab the text from an image to help you quickly find that note again through search.

WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED IT
Need to remember to pick up some groceries? Set a location-based reminder to pull up your grocery list right when you get to the store. Need to finish a to-do? Set a time-based reminder to make sure you never miss a thing.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Next time you go to the store, share your shopping list on Keep and watch as items get checked off in real time. No need for text messages back and forth. Get things done together, faster.

FIND WHAT YOU NEED, FAST
Quickly filter and search for notes by color and other attributes like lists with the label “To-dos”, audio notes with reminders or just see shared notes. Find what you're looking for even faster, and let Keep do the remembering for you.

ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
Keep works on your phone, tablet and computer. Everything you add to Keep syncs across your devices so your important stuff is always with you.

### 3/5 — Ai feature missing

*2026-08-19, version 2.2026.33102*

I’m assuming by now they should be a Gemini feature within Google Keep. This seems to be an inconsistency and most of the mobile apps for example the Google sheets don’t have Gemini either. Which is weird to.me

### 1/5 — Missing home screen widget

*2026-08-16, version 2.2026.32101*

Without the home screen widget this is unusable for me. And makes it a completely different experience on android vs ios

### 3/5 — Mediocre but does the job

*2026-08-14, version 2.2026.32101*

I know it’s a big ask, but how about an expand/collapse nested checklists?

### 5/5 — Simplicity is the key

*2026-08-12, version 2.2026.32101*

I use a daily! My y company has me do three different reports for the same function, the simple text copy and paste help you not have to rewrite everything three different times. I also use it in my personal life to keep me on track especially like the check off boxes for things to do.

### 4/5 — Schriftgrößen Anpassung ist nachgereicht

*2026-08-11*

Mit dem letzten Update reagiert die App immerhin auf die dynamischen Schriftarten von Apple, lässt sich also in verschiedenen Stufen anpassen. Damit sind insbesondere die ganz normalen Notizen deutlich besser lesbar. Was immer noch fehlt, ist die Möglichkeit, die Schriftgrößen innerhalb der App individuell anpassen zu können. Insbesondere auch Schriftgröße und Schriftart für selbst erstellte Notizen. Insgesamt aber eine gute Entwicklung, mit der Notizen App von Apple kann sie aber noch nicht mithalten, weil hier im Vergleich einige Funktionen fehlen (zum Beispiel der PDF Export von Notizen, die KI Korrektur von Diktaten hinsichtlich Orthographie und Grammatik u. A. M).

### 4/5 — Recent updates are not have bugs not making “

*2026-08-05, version 2.2026.31101*

Google Keep has been my best note app for over 8 years. I really like the app and it’s features even on my iPhone. 
Recent updates are not have bugs not making “undo” button work on my iPhone. Please look into that!

### 1/5 — Only opens all the way 50% of the time

*2026-08-01, version 2.2026.30102*

Not sure what’s up. It gets stuck opening. Maybe the Gemini team messed this up too?

### 3/5 — Зачем

*2026-08-01*

Зачем вы каждый день обновляете приложение? Что в нём меняется, напишите хотя бы. Обновление ради обновлений?

### 1/5 — New update ruined everything

*2026-08-01, version 2.2026.30102*

Used this app forever and on the new update it no longer opens only perpetually loads the logo. A decade of writing waisted

### 1/5 — Glitchy and Low Functioning

*2026-07-31, version 2.2026.30102*

On a mobile Apple product, I can’t even format text. The app is also regularly buggy and does not save work.
