What is it?

It’s a note taking app…

Pros:

-          Clean UI

-          Simplicity

-          Accessible online

-          Allows you to make a verity of different notes (Picture, Voice, Check List, and Text Notes)

-          Syncs all your devices connected to your Google account.

Cons:

-          Needs a desktop app

-          Notes don’t save in a Google Drive folder (It would make more sense if they did being that the only way to access you notes online is by going to the address http://www.drive.google.com/keep “just sayin”)

-          No reminders

-          No integration with Google Now…

-          You can’t make a note from a picture you have taken out side of the app.

-          Voice notes don’t really work how they should

My Thoughts:

I really wanted to like Google Keep as much as I like EverNote but I can’t as of now. Yes it is a good app but it’s still lacking in many areas, and I still find myself using multiple apps for note taking. Currently I rotate between 3 note taking apps (EverNote, ColorNote, and Google Keep).
