This Google notes app is great and use it daily, but you need to improve three things


Google has an installation policy with its very specific applications. In countries like Spain, where its services are widely used, it makes mobile manufacturers pre -install certain applications, but not all. However, sometimes there are changes, such as the one that made a few weeks ago that Keep It would be an optional app that would come standard in all Android mobiles.

This makes its use increase, and that It is already a popular application, especially given its ease of use. This is the notes that are integrated into the Google ecosystem, for example allowing elements to the purchase list and that we consult it in the app itself. And even allows the use of several accounts.

However, Google Keep still has certain limitations that are not understood very well. It is clear that Google does not want to scare normal users including too many functionsbut there are some basic characteristics that we do not have at hand, such as being able to export the notes such as a simple image or a PDF. But there are more important ones.

Limited format. One of the things that most attracts the attention of Google Keep notes is that it does not allow you to edit an advanced note, as we could do in a Google Docs document, for example. It is not about being able to use mathematical formulas, or insert strange elements, but simply to be able to put images in the middle of a list, insert videos or make only part of it have pictures to mark as completed, etc.

The rigidity of this application means that we want something more than basics, we need to look at other options. And it is not that Google does not have the capacity to improve this, it decides that the basic operation is more than enough for all users.

Capada web version. Although Google Keep has a web version, it does not have all the functions of the mobile app. For example, it is not possible to insert headers, which are included with the H2, H3 keys and does not allow to underline, cross out or use bold on the lists, although in the mobile application it is possible.

Password protection. Although it is not a good idea to have sensitive data saved in notes apps, many people do it. Google should give the option of ensuring notes individually using a password or a PIN or, better yet, mobile biometry systems.

In this way, only the creator of that note could see the content of it. It is not that it is an infallible system, but of course it is a better option than having nothing. It is a function that aligns with Google’s policy to make the safest information but, for some reason, it is not available.
