Google Keep Is Back This Time With An App

We last saw Keep, Google’s new note taking addition to Drive, this past Sunday. It was only available for about 20 minutes before it disappeared but that was more than enough time to see what Google had in mind. Now Keep is back and this time it brought an Android app with it. As you can see in the images and video below it is a pretty simple app nothing to extravagant  Let’s just say the app has room for improvement, especially when compared to note taking giants like Evernote and Springpad.

One thing that I hope updates is the process for inserting an image that is already on your device. Currently you can insert an image but it can only be an image taken with the camera from within the app. To insert an image that is already on your device you have to go to the image first and share it to Keep. It isn’t hard to do but if they would just give you the option to do it from within the app they could save a needless step.

 

The other little thing is just something that will apply to Galaxy Note II owners. I love the S-Note app on my Note II, I can bring it up on whatever app I am in and can clip out and insert any image I want using the S-Pen. Now I am not saying I don’t wish the Keep app could this, I’m just wishing that I could use my S-Pen with it, I mean I can dream can’t I.

Universally the Keep app is a nice simple note taking app and should do well, I mean it is a Google app after all. I just hope that they go through with support on this one and don’t cut it short like their RSS Reader. What do you think of the new Google Keep app? Will Google Keep replace your other note taking apps? Let me know in the comments below.
