Easily use on both mobile and PC. All features for free. Great app\! > > **Cons**: I wish there were more options to customize text and note backgrounds. There is currently one font and a few different colors/designs for backgrounds. > > I love Google keep and will continue to use it as long as I need a notes app. The checkbox option is awesome for creating to-do lists. ----- ### "Google Keep - keep you notes in a good way" — 5.0/5 > **Lucie** | *30 November 2024* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most neat feature for me is the labeling, it allows me to separate different notes by my criteria. Also sharable checklists are a useful features as it allows to easily complete tasks for different projects for work, or even shopping lists. The app is versatile as is available as a web app that you can access from a browser or as a smartphone app. > > **Cons**: Sometimes an import feature would be a great time saver. > > Google Keep is a complex yet simple to use note taking app. The design is simple and intuitive offering simplicity and quick accessibility as it integrating very well with Google ecosystem. ----- ### "A Keeper" — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *14 July 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Keep is an absolute life saver\! You can make to-do lists, save links, add images, and even remind yourself of emails. The function and features are a dream for anyone who likes to stay organized\! You can even get your to-do lists right on your phone to never forget a thing. > > **Cons**: My only real complaint is that I wish it was easier to customize the headers, fonts, and even colors. As someone who like their to-do list to not just be functional but also look pretty I wish this was a little easier with Google Keep. ----- ### "Google Keep is one of my all time favorite apps\!" — 5.0/5 > **Erika** | *17 October 2025* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Keep is my "go-to" for quick notes, brainstorming, random things I want to remember to check on, grocery lists, basically anything "informal" that I need to jot down, especially on the go. It's great for my own task management too, I really like the features it has that allow me to paste pictures, color code my notes, and that it's quick and easy to navigate and find the specific note I want to add to. > > **Cons**: The only "con" is that I wish I could change the font within specific notes. It's nice that I can change the background and add pictures so I am able to organize that way, but the additional customization to change font size and color would definitely be a major improvement for me\! > > I originally opened Google Keep because I saw it in my Google apps and didn't know what it was, so I clicked into it just out of curiosity. So glad I did\!\! It's now one of my most utilized apps and took over to replace how I used to use the Notes app on my iPhone. I like that I can access Keep from anywhere I log into my Google account. For me it's easier to organize and manage my various lists and notes. I have wild ADHD so having Keep has been extremely helpful. I need to write down everything and anything that I want or need to remember because if I don't it's immediately forgotten like it never existed. I'm able to make notes, or save pictures, write myself things I need to go back to, I also use it just as a brain dump/journal when I need to just organize my thoughts. Keep is awesome and I highly recommend, plus it's free with a Google Account so definitely a HUGE value for zero money since it doesn't cost me anything\! ----- ### "Great note taking and list making tool from Google" — 5.0/5 > **Subhobrata** | *13 June 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very handy app for making quick notes, lists or even sketches. I often use Google Keep to take notes during meetings and don't need to keep a diary and pen. It's super easy to copy and transfer into a Word Doc later. Most importantly, it autosaves in real time, so you don't miss even a single word you typed, in case you accidentally close the app > > **Cons**: I would have liked it better if Google Keep had some basic formatting capabilities like Bold and Italics. While they do have lists and check boxes, it would have been great to be able to bold, italicize and highlight text as well > > One of the best tools to take quick notes, to-do lists, and rough sketches. I've been using Keep for more than 3 years now and am completely satisfied. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/318473/google-keep?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/318473/google-keep) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
