The search engine giant recently introduced a new app called Google Keep and touted the fact that it provides a central location for storing whatever is on your mind.

There is a new Android app you should know about, an app that was released earlier this week by Google, company that needs no introduction, I’m sure. The app I am talking about is called Google Keep, it is offered to Android users for free, and what it does is it provides a central location for storing whatever is on your mind. Come up with a great idea, want to write something down, want to take a photo of something you saw and annotate it? You can do all these things with the Google Keep app.

You can get Google Keep from the Play Store here.
The video below quickly introduces the app’s main functionality.



“Every day we all see, hear or think of things we need to remember. Usually we grab a pad of sticky-notes, scribble a reminder and put it on the desk, the fridge or the relevant page of a magazine. Unfortunately, if you’re like me you probably often discover that the desk, fridge or magazine wasn’t such a clever place to leave the note after all...it’s rarely where you need it when you need it. To solve this problem we’ve created Google Keep,” explained Katherine Kuan, Software Engineer.

Google Keep Main Features
  • Write down ideas, thoughts, anything you want.
  • Take pics and annotate them.
  • Checklists are of course featured
  • All your notes are stored on Google Drive, meaning they can easily be accessed from other devices.
  • Access, edit and create new notes on the web at drive.google.com/keep.
  • You can take notes by speaking into your device instead of typing.
  • Super-fast search function.
  • Archive or delete notes when you no longer need them

Google Keep can be used on mobile devices powered by Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and above.
As already mentioned above, Google Keep is available for free on the Play Store.
