This might be a little off-topic because I only vaguely remember using Evernote, and thus am not as familiar with its feature set; but does anyone here use Google Keep? I remember trying it during its soft launch, but didn’t revisit it (Google Drive and Pinboard are sufficient for me). But I can’t recall the last time I’ve ever heard someone mention that they use it.

Yep I use Google Keep all the time. I switched from Evernote to Keep maybe a year or so ago.

Keep has a very simple and convenient design. There's a note length limit that I find annoying sometimes, but encourages switching to a Google Doc instead if the note is getting too long. Also love the syncing between devices (web, multiple Android devices)

Partner and I use it for grocery lists, that's about it.

Yup.

Google Keep for anything fleeting.

Evernote for keepers.

Google Docs for structured stuff.

I have half of my life organized in Keep, the rest is partially in Google Calendar and Drive.

I use it a lot for everything from shopping lists and quick reminders to sales leads.

It's ok for grocery lists and other really simple stuff, but it's too basic and bare bones. No tables, no free layout, no attachments, basically nothing else than either checklists or simple text with some images. 95% of my use is making a grocery list on the computer and reading it on my watch.

It's the only note app I use. I like that it syncs across my vast amount of devices.
