If there is an app that we have highlighted on several occasions as the best app for taking notes, it is Keep by Google. Although we have something more complete such as Evernote that allows access to a good list of functionalities, Google is the one that win for minimalism of its design and for having the best proportion in every way when you want to create a note yourself in just a few seconds or classify all your notes by color.
Google today announced an update to the Android version of Google Keep that allows us to draw on the notes that we have with the ease of using our finger on the touch screen. The animated GIF shared by Google shows us the real extension of this utility that allows us to make some quick strokes to point or draw what we want, so it becomes a very useful tool to make last minute notes without having to access to another alternative app to do the same.
A very basic tool
While one of the features that Microsoft has emphasized the most in its new Edge browser for Windows 10 has been the ability to draw on the web to create doodles or annotations, now we can pass that same functionality to how important it can be in a note to jot down a reminder with the ease of drawing a trace with our finger on any note.
Keep's new feature is pretty basic with three drawing styles with a nice variety of colors, an erase and a selection tool. This functionality is not to create a pictorial work but for very quick ideas that allow us to express ourselves as if we were taking any marker on one of those blackboards of a lifetime.
The ability to draw in Keep stands out better for those users who have a device equipped with a stylus such as Samsung's Note series, since with this equipment it is possible to have better precision and obtain better results than with the finger itself, which can become more "gross" in the drawings that can be made in a note.
To open a note with a drawing we only have to click on the pencil icon on the main Keep screen. The widget of this application has also been updated to be able to directly access a note of this type. If we already want to access those color options and change the pencil, it is done with a long press on the icon.
A new alternative to Keep
Before sharing the direct link to the Google Keep APK, we have a new app in the Play Store that may be the perfect app to replace this one from Google.
Parchi stands out for a great design, being brilliantly optimized and for having all the functionalities that we can expect from an app of this type. Its exclusive function of tags allows us to access all the notes from the side navigation panel in a jiffy, while one of the properties that it takes from Keep are the colors in the notes to differentiate and classify them.
By creating a note we can use colors, add new tags, reminders, integrate attachments, create an to-do list, mark it as a favorite, archive it and pin it on the lock screen, so, as I said, it has all the necessary options for our day-to-day life with a mobile app. this type. Notable is the option to have the notes pinned on the lock screen for quick access.
An app that does not have that new feature of Google Keep, but that will keep you well organized with all those ideas that we can transform into a multitude of notes. And what has been said, the APK of the new version of Keep below so you can draw on those notes and make quick notes. Another of those little details that gives Google Keep more quality.
