Evernote has long been at the top of
all note-taking apps on the Google Play store, but Google has recently launched
its own rival to the crown, Google Keep. We’ve put both head-to-head to see
which one deserves a place on your Android device

Evernote
Creating notes
The homepage has a list of creation options
to help create the type of note you need for that specific time. You’ll also
find options for non-text notes

Staying organized
All your notes are saved in chronological
order and can be customized at any point. The mass delete option is a great
little feature for clearing unwanted notes.

Send and share
Evernote has an accompanying desktop client
that you can use to edit and save notes. You can also easily share notes via
email and Bluetooth.
Linking with other apps
Evernote has recently launched a
partnership with art-based app Skitch, enabling you to sync image-based notes
through your Evernote account.
Extra features
One of the best things about Evernote is
how customizable it is. There’s a wide variety of features and plenty of text
editing features to boot.

Keep
Creating notes
Keep comes with a handy guide to creating
your first note and the rest of it is pretty self-explanatory. Creating media
notes isn’t as simple, however.

Staying organized
Although the ultra-modern look of Keep is
really nice on the eye, it can leave your messages looking rather clumsy and in
no particular order.

Send and share
All the usual sharing options are present
and you can even sync your notes to your tablet and desktop computer. Send your
notes to contacts via Gmail.
Linking with other apps
Google Keep links with many of the other
Google apps available for download from Google Play. Syncing it with Google
Calendar opens up new features to explore.
Extra features
Google has yet to implement many extra
features in Keep, but that’s primarily due to it being such a new app. Expect
some big additions soon.
