yeah, it's a step in the right direction but not quite material i guess.

don't even have it installed anymore so i don't really care

Oh? Do I need a magnifying glass to spot the Material redesign there?

twist3d0n3 · 6 Nov 2014 at 14:04

Keep is great, and the widget is great too. Would like a material update though

cheers for the suggestion, I use keep and love it, was thinking of something more diary-esque, if that makes sense, and with options to export to file for printing etc (demands goin up now lol)

Recently become a fan of GTASKS,

Really useful, definitely recommended for anyone wanting to create lists of things to do, integrates nicely with multiple accounts too.

Seems some of the Google non-latin keyboards are getting material: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...erial-design-layouts-and-tons-of-new-options/

Come on Google, update the latin one, I don't want to keep using the leaked one

Pfft, SwiftKey + Material theme is where it's at.

I love how we haven't needed swiftkey on an Android device since 4.4.x but people still install it. IT'S NATIVE!!!!!

No it isn't.
