Notes "Google Keep"

Google's version of online notes is Google Keep.

How to get Google Keep.

For a desktop computer, go to keep.google.com. No setup required here ( you must be logged on to the Chrome browser with your Tangi Google account). All the syncing between devices happens automatically on Google’s end.
For a device, if you have a iPhone you can download the app from the iTunes store. If you have an Android phone you can download it from the Play Store. Once you have it, click on the app and log in with your Google account, and then confirm you’re okay with Google’s requests to access parts of your phone (camera, contacts, etc.).

Wait... I still need to get my Outlook notes!!!
