Did the new Mac ios break Google Keep?
Lemur Queen
I just updated the iOS and now the lines of text I type in Google Keep overlap until I close and reopen the note.
Usually love Google Keep

But there’s a persistent bug that I have reported, but nothing has been done about it. When I type text in a note and go down into the next line down, the spacing gets messed up, which gets worse and worse until you have text overlapping other text.
No copy/paste

I cannot copy text from another source and paste it into a note in Google Keep. Hard to keep notes if I have to retype everything in Keep.
The Lack of Dark Mode is Unacceptable (A Rant Review)
Rys0n
I want to say first off that Google Keep is fantastic and is what I take all of my notes in. I use it every day and so should you. The reason I’m giving the iPad app one star is because of a lack of a dark mode, and there are a few reasons for that. First off I want to say that I have never even considered giving an app 1-star for a lack of dark mode before now, and I think in most all cases it would be a dumb thing to do. HOWEVER! As a cross-platform focused app that I use on my Android, my desktop, my laptop and my iPad it is extremely frustrating that the iOS version of the app is the ONLY version that does not have a dark mode. Android and Web both have it and it’s fantastic. I find it extremely frustrating when a company the size of google can’t deliver what I and many others consider an accessibility feature to a platform as big as iOS, especially when iOS has Dark Mode built in and is pushing devs to implement it in their apps, AND when Google has just added Dark Mode as a native feature to Android, which shows that they DO care about it and they DO know that it’s a big deal. That’s why the lack of a dark mode is so unacceptable, and I stand by my reasoning for it. But what really drove me to write a review and give 1-star (other than it being the best thing I can do to try to get Google to hear me) is a situation that arose last night. I was going to bed and decided that tonight was the night that I prepare for the ideas that pop into my head while I try to fall asleep. I use Keep religiously for this, because it helps to much to get a thought out of my head and into the app so that I can focus on sleeping instead. But I always do it on my phone, which often leads to me doing other things on my phone afterwords because one thing leads to another and it’s so comfy browsing my phone in bed. I want to stop this, but when I try to control myself and not pick up my phone my thoughts that I’d write down just keep me awake. And I can’t use pen/paper because I like the room pitch black while I sleep. So I decided that I was going to put my iPad on my nightstand, hooked into it’s keyboard and with Keep loaded up so that when I have to jot something down I can just reach over, tap a key twice, and I’m ready to go. Simple, streamlined, and a lot harder for me to get distracted and start browsing other things. It’s a perfect solution. So I set it up and open Keep, and then I remember about the lack of Dark Mode. I look through settings and they still haven’t implemented it. So I stare at this horribly white screen and realize that I can’t use it, so I open up the native iOS Notes app instead and use that. That’s why I felt compelled to give this 1-star. The lack of a basic accessibility feature that the app has on every other platform made it so I was better off using a different app, and while Notes is fantastic nowadays, it’s not cross-platform. So that was my long-winded, “first-world problems” 1-star review of my favorite note taking app. I love it and that’s why I care so much. To anybody reading this: Please use Google Keep, because it’s amazing. To Google: Guys....plz
Scrolling and Return Key Bugs
JohnAM32
I absolutely LOVE Google Keep and use it excessively. That said, I’ve been meaning to write a review about the two bugs that constantly annoy me: sometimes the keyboard pops up when scrolling through a note when I did not intend to edit it, just to read it, thus my annoyance when it pops up. I think it does so when I scroll only a small amount and it registers as a tap gesture instead of just a scroll gesture. Two: if I press the return key—creating a new line of text—when there are also other lines of text below where I am currently typing (whether I thereafter type or paste something in or just leave the line blank) after a few seconds the line below that one pops up, merging onto the end of the above line I just entered, and I have to replace my cursor and separate the lines again, putting the lower one back down where it belongs.
Good
aaaaggghhjjkkmnn
Love the user interface that lets me see all notes at a glance, like sticky notes. Love the sleek minimal interface. Love the syncing ability. Love the color scheme. Needs dark mode. Needs a right handed mode (checkboxes on right).
