Hoping for Dev response, otherwise it would be 5 stars

Since the last update the cursor stays on when I scroll up or down to close the keyboard. Since the cursor stays on, whenever I scroll around on a long list the keyboard will reopen automatically when I go past it, which makes looking over the list a jarring experience. It used to be I’d have to tap to reopen the keyboard, but now it opens automatically due to that cursor. The cursor goes away if I back out of the list, but that’s pretty tedious. Love the app. This bug makes it frustrating though. Hoping it’s fixed soon! Been using it for years and a huge fan, just this is a huge bug

App was fixed and working great

The problems I was having were resolved with a secondary update that came out soon after my initial review. Thanks for reaching out devs! The app works great and is a huge help for my life. However, a request about a feature. The keyboard reopens when I scroll to where I was last typing. That might be fine in some circumstances, but when I’m scrolling around my list to see what I need to do next and the keyboard reopens, which didn’t happen before, it becomes difficult to keep an eye on the whole list since I have to keep closing the keyboard since I didn’t want it to re-open

No longer working after most recent update

I loved this app and used it every day until the most recent update. Now when I open a note none of its contents are visible and I can’t edit it. I also can’t use the “back” arrow to return to the home screen and view other notes. Hope it gets fixed! I’ve been frustrated that I’ve had to turn to other apps.

Washed-out color palette

I love Google Keep and have always used Google apps over the default Apple apps on my iPhone, but the latest update with the color palette change is HORRIBLE. The colors are washed out, ugly to look at and do not separate my notes in the manner I was always used to viewing them for quick access. Please bring back the classic color palette!!!

October 2026 Update on iPhone is awful

When the notes showed in a grid pattern it was easy to quickly find a color coded note. Now we have to scroll through all the notes in a slow roll. It takes forever; I’m learning to do a key word search instead of scrolling, but even that is slower than it was before it got “updated”. Beware updates. They are often worse than the prior version.

Privacy

I would like them to make the app lockable (face ID needed), so notes can be locked and not accessed by everyone and can we have the notes dated again? So we know what day/ year & time we made those notes. Thank you

Sumiu imagens

Após ultimas atualizacoes todas notas que eu tenho com imagem dentro perderam as imagens, aparece como imagem quebrada, sem referencia

You should bring back REMINDERS

Thank you for took off a “reminder” option from the app I’ve been using since 2013 🤮 (at the time I had Nexus 4)

UPD: new high dimension fonts not looking good. Less info on tick-to-do lists

UPD2: thanks 🤙

Still no feature for “search in-note”

How can you be such a big product since over 10-15 years for notes and still not have a “Search in note” feature yet is absolutely mind boggling to me!

All the leading and better note products have the “find in-note” or “search in-note feature”

Não envia notificações

Não envia notificações no iPhone e nem aparece para ativa las nas configurações do iOS

I need different kind of layout for this app (I like to use it more often, but…)

Layout of this app became too obsolete at this point. Please change it. Hope you copy some features from the Apple journal app and note app :).

With Kind Regards (I know it’s kind a sarcastic)~

Mala actualización

Se acaba de actualizar y ahora no se puede seleccionar bien el texto deslizándote para abajo se traba y va para arriba solo!!!!!!!

Almost perfect

while it’s nice to search all my notes to find the notes that have keywords, some of my notes are very long and i’d like to search for specific key words within a note like on the apple notes app

Decent but doesn’t reliably trigger notifications on iOS

See title. Given this the remainder functionality is a bit useless. Would also be great if could share images from windows to keep.

Streamlined

Been my go-to for years now, have yet to see anything better.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR SPELL CHECK!

Google Keep was working great before the stupid October 2026 update. And now after the update, it's now saying I've spelled words wrong - when I haven't - and it didn't do this before and it's asking me to change it when I press next to it - which I didn't ask it or want to do. I'm so unhappy with this change - I didn't ask for it, it's made using it impossible and I'm looking at using other notes apps.

Very basic app going downhill

This is a very basic app that can be useful but the lack of formatting and its insistence in placing images at the top of a note instead of where you choose is making it irrelevant beyond shopping lists.
But now it is too big (200mb to update such a basic app) and forced 'refreshing' renders the text badly.
I'm on my way to giving up on Google's interlinked spyware and shifting to more secure, no-track apps with better functions.

Undo Button Does Not Work

The undo button when editing a note is non-functional.

just update find in note

just update find in note what are you waiting for?

Missing formatting

I know you hate Apple, but please just add the formatting that Keep has on web and Android! It’s currently a terrible user experience on iOS
