Its a nice feature set, but its hard to sell me on a separate app. I persevere with google keep and google calendar even though they are less than ideal because I already have a login for them. For notes at work its one note because everyone else uses it. So great features are less of a sell than convenience for me.

Same here - I only sign-up for services that are a "need" not a "want". If I implement a "Sign up with Google" feature - would you try the app? Thanks for checking!

I'm still not sure. I am not sure it solves any pressing need. Sure Google apps have problems but I can get by with them. It's kind of an 'activation energy' thing where if Google were to cancel keep/calendar I would hunt for another solution. But it might be a .txt file on Dropbox because then again I don't need another service.

It is a bit like JavaScript fatigue. I have SaaS fatigue! Especially as a developer using Azure, Dropbox, Travis, GitHub, Keepass, Google, etc. then at home using Netflix etc.

I've smiled at this one. Taking a moment to think about it, it's true.

If you've looked at the presentation, one the things I'm looking at - is to market this as a personal device, for exactly that reason. Thanks for input.
