3 reasons that resonate with LINE Keep memo users

Memos sent with SimpleMemo will be sent to the inbox of the set email address (such as Gmail and Outlook), so even if you delete the app, it will remain in the inbox (the memo waiting to be sent is in the terminal, so please send it before deleting it).
Search is OK with the email app

Notes when continuing to use Keep notes
The "LINE Keep" of the saving function has ended, and the "Keep Memo" itself of your dedicated chat room can still be used. There is no need to transfer in a hurry, but if you continue to use it, keep abreast of the next 3 point.
Leave a copy outside the LINE
For the notes you want to leave, it is safe to leave a copy outside the LINE, such as copying the text and sending it to yourself by email. Images, videos, and files also have a shelf life on the LINE server.
Backup depends on LINE account
The entity of the Keep memo is the talk history. If you forget to take over the talk history (backup to iCloud / Google drive) when changing the model, all the notes will disappear. Be sure to check the backup date and time before taking over.
Precedent for "memos that are only available in the app"
When LINE Keep closed, stored data was deleted and could not be recovered afterward. Notes that exist only inside an app can disappear when its service changes or ends. This is the main lesson from the end of Keep.
Recommended"Keep notes for disposable notes, send notes you want to leave by email"This gives you two layers. Keep Memo is enough for shopping lists and temporarily passing URL. For class or work records, ideas and notes you plan to revisit, an email-based note app leaves delivered notes in your inbox. Those inbox notes are unaffected by a device change, a problem with your LINE account or the end of the app’s service.
Send the note to your email instead of LINE Keep.
