There are a lot of Google apps out there — probably more than you can keep track of. Are you curious about some of the most useful Google apps you may have missed? Check out the apps below to find your next favorite.
4 extremely useful Google apps you probably don’t know about
1. Google Keep
This is a great app for keeping track of anything you don’t want to forget. You can use it to write notes, record lists, or store photos and audio. Organize and color-code your keepsakes, too, so they’ll be easier to categorize and find. This app is with you wherever you go, so it’s always accessible when you need it most.
Google Keep also includes location-based and time-based reminders for your notes or lists. This can help with on-time task completion or reminding you to pick up everything you need from the store. You might ordinarily text a friend or family member to ask them to pick something up for you. However, now you can use Google Keep to share grocery lists or errand lists and watch in real-time as the items are checked off by the person you shared the list with.

Rather than searching a bunch of different websites for the product you’re looking for, use Google Express. This website and app allows you to shop at all of your favorite stores — like Target, Ulta, and Costco — in one place. Google Express also works with Google Assistant and voice search.
You’ll still need to reach a specific site’s minimum delivery requirements to receive free delivery on your purchases overall. You’ll typically have 30 days to return any items you don’t want, but check a site’s specific policy or contact Google’s customer support for a definite answer. There are no membership fees for Google Express, and most items you buy will arrive within one to three days.
