Moving notes across the different tabs in OneNote and Keep is a child’s play. It just doesn’t show up the shared notes in my app, and eventually, I had to take help from a different app. I did face an issue with Keep’s collaborator feature many times. Plus, OneNote has another nifty feature that lets you set the permission level. While Keep has it in the form of a collaborator, OneNote has gone a notch higher and lets you share a notebook’s page or the whole notebook with your buddies. They say that a problem shared is a problem halved and both the apps adhere to this thought beautifully. So, if you have to jot down a quick something, you have to go through the process of opening the right notebook and the right page in it. OneNote’s perspective is a tad different, it assumes that you need to keep everything neatly organized irrespective of the essence of time. Later when you have ample time to build and organize, you can move the notes among the different labels. This feature proves to be helpful when you’re running out of time. Google Keep lets you write a note basically anywhere meaning it has a notebook handy anytime you open it. Of course, the first feature has to be about notes, rather, how well it can store notes and how well you can access them. So, that was a brief overview, let’s have a quick roundup of the common tools of both the apps The Common Features 1. And yeah, it’s also available on all the major platforms. My only gripe about this app is that the setup process is rather slow and tedious.īeyond that, you get the option to scribble and scrawl on the notebooks, as you guessed, anywhere. On the contrary, OneNote does the same task in an organized manner by segregating all the notebooks neatly and color coding them. It’s incredibly light and is pretty much available anywhere - iOS, Android, Windows and as a web app. The best thing about Keep is that you can just click on the note bar and it’ll make sure that your thoughts are properly captured. Google Keep is more than just a note-taking app, it can also disguise as a personal assistant when it comes to reminding you about your task or an image reader (built-in OCR). So, it’s only fair that we pit both the apps against each other and see who wins at the end. These not only possess tremendous features but are also free in the market.

So we are left with the ever-popular Google Keep and Microsoft’s OneNote apps.

Not so long ago, Evernote was the hot favorite of smartphone users, but unfortunately, it fell from grace after changing the product pricing. When it comes to jotting down notes, it’s not only important that the affair is done as fast as possible but it’s also an absolute essential that the apps are available across multiple platforms.
