Google Keep - Notes and lists 4+

We use google keep with our google home devices for our shopping list, however it ends up being quite annoying as there is no option to automatically sort items into categories (such as meat, dairy, fruit & veg, frozen, etc) and instead, items are just listed in the order you add them. This can be annoying, especially with larger lists as you have to sort through it all to make sure you don’t miss anything to avoid revisiting a particular section of the supermarket. Other than that, the app works well and the list updates almost instantly from the google home devices.

Love this note taking app in general and the one list I use constantly is a shopping list. With check boxes it works really well so that you easily see what still needs to be sourced before you go home. The main frustration I have is not being able to sort checked items in alphabetical order so that when you want to put that item back on your shopping list you quickly find it and uncheck the box. If things were in alphabetical order it would be easy to find them. Instead I end up with the same item entered several times because I didn’t see it with a quick glance, and so the list gets longer and harder to find things. Can we please have an alphabetical option in the menu?

I solely and minimally use Keep to fill the niche left by Apple not making Notes available for my Watch :/ and as a way to transfer notes and reminders between legacy devices.

No Delete option on the Watch - only Archive - so I have to keep running to my iPhone (where I don’t use this as a go-to app) to ‘Delete’ a note - I don’t want to ‘Keep’ every little scrap for ever as much as Google might want lol.

It’s a bit glitchy too, like the text entry buttons (dictation / finger drawing letters) are obscured by the app title, although thankfully the disappearing notes issues seem to be fixed 🙏🏼
