( Wired ) -- Android users , take note : Google Keep — a long-overdue app for creating lists and reminders — has arrived . Keep is essentially Google 's answer to Evernote and the Post-It . Believe it or not , while Apple 's iOS has had a Notes app and a Reminders app baked in for some time now , Keep is Google 's first mobile app focused on solving either of these problems . As you 'd expect , Keep is integrated with Google Drive , the cloud storage service Google wants anyone who uses anything it makes to use . You can type out a reminder or list using the Keep Android app , which landed in Google Play on Wednesday ( after leaking for a bit Monday ) , or on the web at drive.google.com/keep . Aside from tapping out a note , you can also store photos in the app , and you can record voice notes , which Keep then transcribes into text , so you can read or listen to them later . If you snap a photo in the app , you can then edit it using all of Android 's built-in camera features ( cropping , color balancing , photo filters and borders ) . Using Android 's sharing features , you share a photo by e-mail , text messaging , Picasa , Google+ , Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , Path , Dropbox and even Amazon 's Send to Kindle feature . This being a Google product , there 's also a search function , so you can find the Keeps you kept , and you can color code what you 've got in a variety of hues . The app sorts everything in a style that is reminiscent of Pinterest or Pocket . It looks great and it 's super easy to use . Want to move a reminder to the top of your mosaic ? Just drag and drop , and tap to get in and edit . You can also archive or delete any reminder once you 're done with it . It 's all pretty painless and feels like something Google should have offered up years ago . Keep is only compatible with phones and tablets running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or newer , and as of now , there are no Keep apps for iOS , Windows Phone or any other mobile operating systems . If the app takes off ( and it should , because it works well and looks fantastic ) , then we 'd guess that a Keep app on iOS is only a matter of time . After all , Gmail , Drive , Maps , Translate , Earth , YouTube , Field Trip and even Currents can all be found on iOS . For those using Android 4.2 Jelly Bean , Google has also built a Keep widget , which can be placed on your Android homescreen , or on your phone or tablet 's lock screen , which would enable users to add a reminder without even having to unlock their device .
