    Comments about Google Keep as an Alternative to Microsoft OneNote
    Comment summary: Google Keep is often compared to a basic sticky note application, lacking the robust features of Microsoft OneNote, such as multiple notebooks, subfolders, and advanced formatting options. While Keep offers simplicity and ease of use for quick notes and lists, it is seen as too lightweight for users seeking more detailed and organized note-taking solutions. OneNote's ability to structure and manage information comprehensively makes it a preferred choice for complex tasks.

    I love Keep, but it's not anywhere near as detailed as OneNote. Keep is basically for making sticky notes, which is helpful, but OneNote has way more features. I know a lot of students, as well as myself, who use OneNote for taking school notes. You can draw, add tags to notes, and add formattings, such as fonts, colors, bullets, and number lists. You can even draw on top of things you type. You can't any of that in Google Keep.

    Too simplistic, almost no features. There's very little you can do, other than draw and type.

    best alternative so far for onenote that has handwritten notes. The OCR for handwritten text is also amazing. Better than onenote under some aspects, lacking of a couple of features under other aspects. Soon will come out for Windows and Android too!
