Is Google Keep worth it

Rating: 9 out of 10

April 4, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Google Keep to quickly note ideas, tasks, and reminders. It helps us stay organized by sharing notes with the team. The main problem it solves is forgetting important tasks or ideas. We use it for to-do lists, project notes, and reminders, making teamwork easier. It's simple, fast, and keeps everything in one place.

Pros

Not Taking
To Do List
Organize

Cons

Keep only offers labels, but having folders or nested tags would help in managing notes better.
Finding notes can be difficult, especially when there are many. Filters by date, content type, or color would help.
Keep notes should easily convert into Google Docs or sync better with Google Calendar tasks.

Likelihood to Recommend

1. You’re in a meeting and need to jot down key points quickly. Keep allows fast, simple note-taking
2. You create a grocery list or a checklist for a project and set reminders to ensure tasks are completed on time.
3.You organize your daily tasks using different colored notes for work, personal, and urgent tasks.

Google Keep - more than just note taking

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

March 3, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Optional, free software that majority of our company uses. It's used for quick, one-off note taking for stand-up meetings, client meetings, etc. Can be very useful if you need to write something down in a pinch. With everything being saved automatically to the Google cloud it's very convenient for the quick and dirty note taking. The collaboration feature is the cherry on top that proves to be very useful. Also, big shout out to the "check mark" feature that essentially makes this a "to-do" application.

Pros

Collaboration.
Just enough "extra" features to make it not too complicated.
Simplicity.

Cons

Not easy to change text/font if you aren't savvy with the product.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for small to large businesses - really any business where you need to take notes or remember something. It helps keep you organized if you need it but can also serve as a to-do check list for you, your team, or both.

Swiss army knife for notes

Rating: 10 out of 10

February 29, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I make a more personal use of Google Keep, I use it as my notepad on my phone. It's great for taking quick, organized notes on cards. Works great for meetings, jotting down ideas, and even starting long texts and moving to a appropriate app later. Google Keep is a Swiss Army knife for text.

Pros

Check boxes.
Notes.
Cards.
Collaboration.

Cons

Revision history.
Find word (CTRL+F).
Cards color customizations.
Simple text edition.

Likelihood to Recommend

Quick notes, one click, and you're already writing. It can be used as post-it on the mobile screen, for example, through its widgets. This is great for daily notes, especially if combined with check boxes.

Although it is good to start a text that is expected to be long, it is not ideal for editing texts and writing articles for example.

Google Keep - Live tiles make for a pleasing note taking experience

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

February 12, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Google Keep on a personal level to assist with my tasks for work. Asana is the primary tool used within my scope of work, but Google Keep helps me stay on task and make notes where other apps are too bulky. I find Keep to be the best solution for me vs. other note-taking apps (Simplenote, etc.). It's a live tile interface, and ease of use makes it quick and easy to use and see exactly what I need to whenever I open it.

Pros

User Interface
Live Tiles

Cons

Lacks a desktop app
Lacks app integration

Likelihood to Recommend

I find Google Keep is the best app to take simple notes in. Live tiles make it a far more pleasing visual experience, while also allowing a user to quickly see precisely what they've written down without opening each note. The clean and straightforward interface makes it very easy to pick up and use, then put away without fumbling around unnecessary features. Reminders and labels and colors keep things organized.
If a user needs harder deadlines within an app, while Keep does have reminders, it has no app integration with google calendar to allow for that functionality to be too useful.

For a Post-It Feeling, Use Google Keep

Rating: 10 out of 10

January 23, 2020

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Google Keep as a electronic post-it note. Since I use Google Mail as my email client and Google Docs and Sheets as my word processor and spreadsheet, Google products are very integrated with how I manage my business. The fact I can have Google Keep appear to the right of my email means I can add and retrieve notes quickly.

Pros

I can make lists.
Simple to use.

Cons

No text formatting.
Maybe too simple for those coming from Evernote or OneNote.

Likelihood to Recommend

I have a hard time focusing on projects because I always have so much to do in a day. I make lists in Google Keep which has a checkbox feature that crosses the item and moves it to the bottom of the list when you check it off. However, one thing I use to do with EverNote is take notes on a project and email them to the client. I can't do that directly from Google Keep, but since it integrates with Google Docs I can copy the note to a new document and share it that way.
