Very Buggy

Icey Cake

In general, it is a pretty good app if you are only using the happy path. With a subscription is required to use this app, I would expect a more frequent update to fix bugs. The most not acceptable is any kind of batch note management is buggy. Any actions that related to more than 1 note are very buggy. I deleted hundreds of notes (out of 1000+) w/o notice because of the bugs.

Trust Broken

App recently locked me out and wouldn't let me access the content saying I hadn't puchased it. Before hearing back from the developer I found a copy of the files in ~/Library/Group Containers/*.com.reinvented.KeepIt/. Apple provided no useful support. After several days of being locked out the developer responded and said to delete the app and re-install it. Having an app refuse to allow me access to my own data was a big wake up call. For now I've cancelled my iOS subscription and am questioning whether I should use this app. Developer blames Apple, Apple blames developer. Regardless Developer chose to design IAP in a way that can fail at the expense of the user and has expressed zero empathy for the panic caused or the time spent figuring out a workaround.

Only allowed me to navigate the app for around 10 minutes before it tried to force me to sign up for a subscription after my free trial was over. I don’t like that it forces you to sign up rather than just allow for the free trial to finish THEN ask to pay for subscription if the users want to continue using the app

My favorite app so far.

I’ve had an apple a device for many many years and I’ve downloaded many exceptional apps. However, this is the one I love the most so far. It is absolutely excellent in every way.

Sync issues make it hard to recommend

This is a good alternative to the default Notes app in a couple of ways. It gives you more control over how you organize your notes because you can use tags and group items into bundles without removing them from their primary folders. On desktop, you can access your files directly so there’s no fear of lock-in. HOWEVER, and I always wonder whether this is a developer issue or just an innate flaw of iCloud, there are still syncing issues! I currently have two versions of the same note, an old version on my iPad and a new version on my iPhone, and they won’t sync up. I’m worried that I’m going to lose my new edits if at some point they decide to finally collapse into a single version. And now I’m worried that I’ve lost other edits in the past that I just didn’t notice at the time. ? I switched to this app because of some really bad syncing experiences I had with Notes earlier this year. The one thing I absolutely need from a note app is to see the same version of my content in all places, and Keep It isn’t doing this. So although I like this app otherwise, I can’t justify recommending the paid version because it seems to have the same flaw as Notes.

Best note taking app if you own a Mac.

Syncs everything great. You can put virtually any format of document in it (unlike Apple’s notes). It very affordable and so worth it. You can import all your notes from Evernote I think. Love the dark layout. Support independent developers!!

Finally an app that does all the things

I am constantly working on improving my workflow and really struggled with the file/notes aspect of it. I have tried 14 different notes and productivity apps in the last 4 months and randomly installed this one and it did everything I wanted. Think DEVONThink lite. But pretty. And not much lighter. The UI is simple, easy. Grouping, tagging, folders, files/notes, it’s all perfect.

Just what I was looking for!

I’ve left Evernote for many reasons and I am so glad I found this. It does everything it says it should do. I hope it becomes really popular so we can have it for a long time.

Poor photo capturing support

DocSharpie

Keep It is so close to being an ideal replacement for the now-floundering Evernote. However there are a few things it needs to address before I can rely on it as an Evernote replacement. Right now, my biggest gripe about Keep It is it’s poor photo capture support. I want to use Keep it as a way to catalogue household inventory, and want to just create a single note for each storage box I have, and take photos of every item that is contained in each box. In Evernote, you can just take a series of photos at once, and it will add them all to the note with a single tap of a button. In Keep It, you can only take (or add from the Photo Library) one photo at a time when adding it to a note. You take a photo, then you have to tap the “Use Photo” button, then tap again inside a blank area of the note to add a new photo to the same note. It’s adds so much aggravating friction to the process that I don’t even bother with it anymore, and go back to Evernote for these types of “capture” tasks. I really wish Keep It had a photo “queue” when using the camera, or at least the ability to add multiple selected photos from the Photo Library in a single operation.

Keep it is great

I am so pleased with Keep It. I have used Evernote for years and I am moving everything into Keep It. It is easy to use, It is fast and the developer is always available for support.
