Google Ecosystem Falls Short for Tech Analyst Due to Note-Taking App
Parth, a technology analyst and writer, was trying to move his daily workflow into Google's ecosystem. He already uses most of its apps for various tasks, but one app stood in the way: Google Keep.
According to Parth, Google Keep feels basic compared to Samsung Notes, which is a more capable and flexible notes app that offers a rich text editor with features like headings, tables, attachments, and a highlighter. He also appreciates the S Pen feature of his Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which allows him to write quickly and easily.
Parth tried to make Google his default by switching from Samsung Notes to Keep, but he found it lacking in organization features. He likes to separate notes into proper folders, which is not possible with Keep's labels and colors. The Gemini integration, which was a major reason for him to switch to Google, works with Samsung Notes as well.
As a result, Parth decided to stick with Samsung Notes, despite the benefits of using Google's ecosystem. He believes that Samsung Notes is better suited to his note-taking needs and preferences.
