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.

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

Ugly colors

Google hasn’t caught up to nice bright colors for notes. They’d rather stick to pale, really ugly weird shades. Unbelievable.

No search and find, wth!?

For years, still basic AF, no search/find function, useless and ugly interface/styles.

Why Google do you hate improving?

So freaking old and outdated, smh awful app

Please get a widget

Pls

Updates

Wth do they update when they update??

Option to disable swipe to archive

I find way too many random notes that have been unintentionally archived. I rarely use the archive feature and when I do, it’s not the end of the world to have to tap the three dots to get to the option. But for those of us that don’t use it frequently it would save a lot of hassle looking for notes that have been moved to the archive accidentally.

App Not opening

Not working on my iPhone 12 pro max

No A tab

Can you show me where the tab is for bold metallics and underline on iPhone?

Love the simplicity, but….

Really love how simple it is, perfect for what I need it for. One thing that would make the app the best is if I can take multiple picture at once to have fewer clicks. Rather than click take picture, screen to view the picture, then click confirm or whatever, and then go through all the screens again. I use this app while on site walks and need to just be able to snap pictures in bulk and take notes. Need a feature where once you take the picture is keep collecting them as you take more pictures and then you hit save or upload

Gone downhill

This app used to be fine. Lately it’s turned into a glitching mess. It’s constantly crashing and closing on me in the middle of me typing something. Things will disappear after I’ve closed the app and gone back into it later. And dragging things to indent them or un-indent them doesn’t work anymore and will cause the app to close while I’m trying to do it.

Closes keyboard unexpectedly

When typing in this app, the keyboard closes automatically without any logic or reason. it is impossible to type more than two words at a time, and obviously this makes it difficult to type lists.

What did you do?

I am really, really disappointed with this. At first it was my savior, being something I could use instead of Google Docs when Google Docs suddenly was covering my text with a menu practically every time I touched the screen and randomly duplicating, in random places ,what I had already typed. Now Google Keeps has gone nuts and is duplicating paragraphs and sticking them wherever, even in other paragraphs. I guess I need a typewriter.

It stopped letting me in. It’s not working. It’s a good app. It’s not letting me into it

Clunky on iOS 27

The app has become clunky and difficult to use with the new iOS 27. Please update.
