New to me, Google Keep, is quickly becoming my favorite app & online program for taking notes. Google has hit it out of the park, yet again, with this one. In it, I can keep lists of things that I need at the store, appointments that need to be made or things I simply need to remember. As well, it is a very attractive program as you can add pictures as a header to the note, as well as change the color background of each note. I like that reminders can be added for days and times in the future and a notification alerts when it comes due. Another very cool feature is the ability to add collaborators to the note. This is how we can keep track of due dates and group reminders. There are two views: a listed view and a 'canvas' view. On either view, when the item is pressed, it can be moved to another area on the screen or list, making it easy to change priorities quickly. An audio option is also available & useful for adding items. Available online, as well as on iOS & Android smartphones & tablets that sync simultaneously with each added item. I also have opened up each of my Google Apps accounts, so I'm able to keep notes for my personal account & my school account, as well as switch in between very easily. Hands down, a great way to keep organized!Tuesday, July 5, 2016
