There are a lot of Google apps out there \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

4 extremely useful Google apps you probably don’t know about<\/h2>\n

1. Google Keep<\/h3>\n

This is a great app for keeping track of anything you don\u2019t 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\u2019ll be easier to categorize and find. This app is with you wherever you go, so it\u2019s always accessible when you need it most.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

2. Google Express<\/h3>\n

Rather than searching\u00a0a bunch of different websites for the product you\u2019re looking for, use Google Express.<\/a> This website and app allows you to shop at all of your favorite stores \u2014 like Target, Ulta, and Costco \u2014 in one place. Google Express also works with Google Assistant and voice search.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll still need to reach a specific site\u2019s minimum delivery requirements to receive free delivery on your purchases overall. You\u2019ll typically have 30 days to return any items you don\u2019t want, but check a site\u2019s specific policy or contact Google\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
