Google Keep for Android finally gets text formatting options

Google

If you use Google Keep on your Android device, you’ll be glad to hear that it finally has text formatting options. You can now bold, italicize, and change the appearance of your text in your notes. Google said this week that the feature is rolling out, and you should see it soon in the app (if it hasn't yet). The text formatting options are not new or flashy, but are essential and long overdue. 

Keep is a great note-taking app. It's fast, simple, and smart. It works on Android, iOS, and the web. It can turn a link into a rich preview, a short note into a Post-it, and a long note into a document. You can also draw, record audio, and set reminders in your notes. And since it's a Google product, you can search and access your notes from other Google apps. As The Verge pointed out, its future felt tenuous, but seeing it get a necessary update gives us hope it'll be around for a while.
