Back in 2009 when Google took the bold decision to close its notebook service, it gave ample opportunities to other services like Evernote to take on as leading app and web service for note taking providing tons of features.
But not anymore as now Google has unveiled its brand new note taking service for android what they call as Google keep. The app is now available only on android platform and Google did not mention about any iOS version of the app. The app’s dashboard provides the very basic note taking functionality and has a neat and tidy user interface what we have seen in Pinterest and tumblr.
