Google Keep Updates with In-Note Photos, Time and Location Reminders

Android/Web: We already love Google Keep, but today it picked up some useful updates. Now you can add time and location reminders for your to-dos, add photos to your notes and reminders, and there's a new navigation drawer that makes it easy to jump from notes to reminders and back.

The big news in today's update is that Google Keep now functions a bit more like a fully-fledged to-do app in that you can set general or specific time reminders for any to-do you enter. You can have Keep ping you "tomorrow morning" that you wanted to email a friend, or specifically "Tuesday the 15th at 9am." Similarly, Google Keep can also use your phone's GPS to remind you of things you wanted to do in specific locations. When you get to the grocery store, for example, Keep will remind you that you told it last week you wanted to buy milk while you were there.

Google Keep has always given you a way to store photos, but now you can add photos to existing notes, or create new notes with both text and photos. Plus, with all these new note types and features, the new navigation drawer makes it easy to jump between your notes, reminders, and archived items so you always see what's useful to you.

Google Keep is a great note-taking tool, one we think is pretty underrated. With today's updates, it might be on more people's radar. The updated Android app is rolling out now at Google Play, and the new features are already available in the webapp and in the Chrome extension. Hit the link below to read more.

Update: Whoops! Looks like we already mentioned the news! Sorry for the duplicate post!
