I’ve primarily been a Samsung smartphone user for most of my life. My first premium Galaxy device was the Samsung Galaxy Note II.
Later, I kept upgrading to other Galaxy phones, and I haven’t stopped since.
But one of the benefits of being a Samsung user is the app ecosystem. I can choose between Google and Samsung apps. Currently, I am around a 60% to 40% split between Samsung and Google (this is an estimate), but I still keep tabs on most of my apps.
The Google app I’ve long since retired and stopped keeping tabs on was Google Keep.
I thought to myself: Why use Google Keep when I already use Samsung Notes, Notepad, and OneNote as my go-to note-taking apps?
Turns out that I am years behind, and this little note-taking app by Google punches well above its weight than I gave it credit for.
