Quick Google Keep question. How do I mark things as complete? I want to be able to tick notes to show they are done (then preferably archive them). Am I missing something? 
You can tick them in a web browser... (I'm not talking about lists by the way)
You can tick them in a web browser... (I'm not talking about lists by the way)Yeah, to an extent. But I only really pass a couple regularly. Sometimes it's the big brands though. There could be one 2 miles away that I've never seen that is cheaper than the ones I use. Or if I'm out and about, good to know before you head to one, what you'd be paying.

I don't think you can. Keep is one of the fastest I found for syncing, but in terms of features it's pretty limited compared to other alternatives.
Anyways, you can click a tick in a desktop web browser.. I don't understand Google sometimes
But the tick on the website version is just to select it, not mark it as done or anything. It's the equivalent of tapping and holding on a note on the app.
Sounds like you need a dedicated tasks app really.

keep wise you can tick off things on a list, but they aren't 'tasks' as such, just notes with reminders optionally attached.
Yeah. I don't understand it. What's the point of listing tasks and lists and such if you can't tick them off. I like Keep so far, but it's not for me. And I made my girlfriend change to it and put up with her whinging so we could have a shared shopping list 
I was happy with GTasks until they started harassing me with ads. What else is there that my girlfriend and I can share specific lists? Maybe something with a Chrome extension too.

You can tick items on lists to mark them as done, and you can archive notes when you're finished with them. That's about the closest you're going to get to the functionality you want without using an app designed for that specific purpose.
I have used MoonReader Pro for the last couple of years. Works with files on dropbox and/or drive as well as those stored on the device.
if you have multiple devices then it can sync reading position across them as well.

Give Wunderlist a try, we use it for shopping lists and to-do's etc. It sync's pretty well but you can't really do much beyond task items where as Keep/Evernote etc have more options.
It's owned by Microsoft now, so at some point it may get re-branded or integrated into Windows/Outlook services.
What's a good app for location, condition or time based reminders? I want something that will use a combination of things to trigger a reminder like:
If I'm at the train station and haven't received an email receipt for parking, remind me to pay for parking.
If my battery drops below 50% and I'm in Bluetooth range of my work laptop and its office hours, remind me to charge my phone.
If I'm in Bristol and its 7am remind me to pay for parking.
That kind of thing?

Yeah I was talking to a guy at work about it and we wondered if the email access would be possible, but location, time and other devices being nearby should be OK.
Google Reminders sort of do some of it, but then clear once you have done it. I want something that works the other way, creating a reminder if certain conditions are met.
I'll take a look at IFTTT, cheers.

Hmm. IFTTT does look like it can read emails, but I don't think there is a way to stack multiple IF conditions together for a single action, like location and time, or battery level and devices around and day of the week and time.
