Pro Both location- and time-based reminders
You can set reminders that bring certain notes to your attention when you arrive at a specified location or when it’s a specified time or date. Unfortunately you can only do one or the other for each note.
Pro Includes character recognition for text in images
Google Keep lets users take pictures of physical notes and makes the contents searchable within the app. This can be a convenient time saver for those that do not want to type out the necessary info, but rather take a quick snapshot of it.
Pro Drag and drop sorting
You can move cards manually, which is great for prioritizing to-dos. Within a card, you can also drag and drop items.
Con Significant delay in syncing shared notes
When someone else modifies a shared note it takes a lot of time to sync to my device
Con Google can access and mine your data
You have to be okay with Google analyzing and using your data in order to use Keep.
Con Delay between to-do entries
The keyboard closes and reloads between to-do list entries, so the first letters or words may be missed if you’re trying to quickly create a list.
Pro Supports natural language input
Todoist supports phrases like "tomorrow", "next month", "in 3 weeks", or for recurring tasks "every week" or "every 3 days".
Pro No ads in free version
The unpaid version contains no ads or popups encouraging you to upgrade. The only time you will be asked to upgrade is if you attempt to use a premium feature.
Con Location-based reminders is a paid feature
Costs $29/year for location-based reminders.
Pro Voice-generated location reminders
Add a google search widget to your home screen, tap the microphone or say "Ok, Google", and say things like "Remind me to buy a Banana Hammock at Banana Republic." The next time your phone is at Banana Republic, an alert will be generated.
Con Some settings get automatically reset with updates
Settings such as support for "Ok, Google" from any screen default to on after every update.
Pro It´s fast
One button to keep the position of the car and one button to restore it.
Know any negative aspects of this option?

Pro Cross-platform support and sync
The app runs on iOS, Android, as a Chrome extension and in browsers.
Con Limited Any.do moments in free version

Con Lackluster user interface
The UI is very dated on Android and hasn't changed much in the last few years.
