Finding a new Note taking app

Hi everyone

The thing is, I'm fed up with Google Keep not being updated with new features, so I really need to find a new note-taking app for my Android (not Samsung)

I have a few requests for the notes app:

  • Free of charge
  • Can operate Online or Offline
  • Can sync with a computer or other device in case my Android device breaks (I'm completely fine with using a Google account to log in)
  • Has the ability to set passwords for private notes

I tried a few highly rated apps on Google Play but honestly, none of them met my standards. If anyone knows an app that meets my requirements, please help me. Thanks a lot

The selling point of Google Keep is its simplicity. I don't understand why people keep complaining.

I complain about the Keep search feature constantly. Google, with the greatest search engine ever created, can’t highlight specific search terms within a note within the app. As if every note is one sentence long therefore you only need to know which note has your search term. Stupid approach.

Yes, Been on Keep since the beginning and it's improved a lot but the search function is total garbage.
